Epitaxy by Design – Epitaxial Growth of Dissimilar Materials
24 May: Welcome to a lecture with LTH Honorary Doctor Professor Chris Palmstrøm!
Nanoscale biological motors – a call for creative technological solutions
LTH researchers are advancing towards high-efficient computers, using nanoscale biomolecules. They have now announced an idea competition that is open for all.
Millions invested in new beamline at MAX IV
The Novo Nordisk Foundation recently made the announcement to grant DKK 225 million to Lund University for the construction and operation of MicroMAX, a new beamline for the MAX IV research facility in Lund, Sweden. The beamline will become one of the world’s strongest protein microscopes and an important tool for researchers studying proteins.
LU employees are invited to the EHF Cup in Lund
An opportunity to gather and get to know new colleagues, and to enjoy the games when some of Europe’s top handball teams visit Lund. All Lund University employees are invited to three EHF Cup games.
Physicist is awarded millions for research on X-rays using nanowires
Researcher Jesper Wallentin at the Department of Physics at Lund University in Sweden has received a grant of approximately SEK 15 million for a research project on the ability of nanowires to act as detectors for X-ray radiation. If successfully developed, this technology could enable X-rays of single cells, for example.
Kick-off for the future, after the end of Lund University’s anniversary year
Sunday 28 January 2018 will mark the end of Lund University’s 350th anniversary celebrations, exactly 350 years since the University’s inauguration. The event will be a kick-off for the future, full of activities, music, solemn ceremonies and a dinner. All those interested are welcome, but please note that some activities require registration. All [...]
A career within or outside the academia?
Lund University is the first and only university in Sweden to give these career courses for PostDocs and PhD students. There is still time to sign up!
Researchers to create Virtual Reality model of the Milky Way
Using data from over a billion stars, a research team at Lund University in Sweden are developing an interactive 3D model of the Milky Way galaxy. This could enable new types of discoveries that aren’t possible with current tools - perhaps even unraveling how the Milky Way was formed.
Billions to be invested in AI and quantum technology
Developments in quantum technology and artificial intelligence, AI, are predicted to transform research, as well as business and society as a whole. The Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation is awarding a total of SEK 1.6 billion over ten years to these promising fields, in two separate research projects involving several Swedish higher education [...]
The unbelievable speed of electron emission from an atom
In a unique experiment, researchers have clocked how long it takes for an electron to be emitted from an atom. The result is 0.000 000 000 000 000 02 seconds, or 20 billionths of a billionth of a second. The researchers’ stopwatch consists of extremely short laser pulses. Hopefully, the results will help to provide new insights into some of the [...]
Watch: New electric road offers flexible charging
In recent years, electric roads have emerged as potential alternatives to the heavy and expensive batteries currently needed in electric road vehicles. Now researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed an even smarter technology – that doesn’t require digging up stretches of road to install the system. Instead, a small conductive rail is [...]
Instead of floating plastic – floating houses
Architect student Ludvig Hofsten wanted to address the issues of rising sea levels and plastic waste in the ocean. He designed Villa Nemo, a project that sees the potential of living on water in the future; with both lifestyle and environmental benefits.
New test method aims to predict allergenic potency of chemicals
Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed a method which determines not only whether a chemical or substance is allergenic, but also how strong its potential for causing hypersensitivity is. This will aid in the establishment of so-called threshold values – or how much of a substance is safe to use in a product. Until now, the only [...]
