LTH's major investment in battery research takes off
Last year, Lund University, in collaboration with Uppsala University and Chalmers, received nearly SEK 50 million from the Swedish government for battery research under the strategic initiative Compel. This initiative is set to receive the same amount annually until 2029, enabling the hiring of researchers and teachers specializing in [...]
Profile areas explore cross-disciplinary collaborations
On 17 May, the Energy Transition profile area organised a lunch seminar with colleagues from the Nanoscience and Semiconductor Technology profile area. The aim was to learn more about nanoscience and the work that the profile area does to identify potential collaboration opportunities between the two groups.
Hello Olof Samuelsson, what is happening in the Energy Transition profile area?
In this interview, we talk to professor and coordinator Olof Samuelsson about the Energy Transition profile area. We discuss the exciting activities currently underway and what we can expect in the autumn regarding research and education.
Funding to project about ultrasound-based method to detect plaques that cause strokes
Ten projects in life science, with the aim to develop an academic discovery towards an innovation and a product, receive Proof of Concept funding from Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation in the first call. One of the projects is related to the LTH profile area Engineering health: Novel ultrasound-based method to detect atherosclerotic plaques that [...]
Nobel Celebration at LTH with Lecture and Fireworks
Now, the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physics has finally been officially celebrated at LTH. 700 LTH students, employees, and specially invited guests together created a joyous Nobel euphoria throughout Kårhuset.
Major grants to Biomedical Engineering researchers
Ten researchers within the profile area Engineering Health at the Faculty of Engineering, Lund University, receives grants from the Swedish Research Council (VR), FORMAS, Stiftelsen för Bistånd, and the Future Innovation Award.
Cutting edge transistors for semiconductors of the future
Transistors that can change properties are important elements in the development of tomorrow’s semiconductors. With standard transistors approaching the limit for how small they can be, having more functions on the same number of units becomes increasingly important in enabling the development of small, energy-efficient circuits for improved memory [...]
Electrotherapy without surgery
NanoLundians Roger Olsson, professor of chemical biology and therapeutics, and Martin Hjort, researcher in chemical biology and therapeutics, have together with researchers at Gothenburg University successfully developed temporary, organic electrodes that can be seamlessly integrated into biological systems. The method, now published in Nature [...]
The Society of Swedish Engineers in Great Britain 2023 scholarship awarded to LTH-student
LTH student Oliver Belfiore, majoring in Mechanical Engineering, has been awarded the 2023 scholarship from the Society of Swedish Engineers in Great Britain for "his passion for technology, design, motorsport, and his technical skills."
Making it big with nano-crafting
A lab where you can “craft” new materials on the atomic level, bringing together cross-disciplinary scientists to produce nanomaterials and semiconductor components. A neighborhood with major research infrastructures, complementary to each other. And most important: an open environment where academia, industry, and society can meet and collaborate, [...]
The Sahlberg scholarship 2023 to Marshall Ringisayi Machingauta
For 2023, the Sahlberg scholarship is awarded to Marshall Ringisayi Machingauta for his thesis ”Development and characterization of an eco-friendly cosmeceutical formulation with optimal performance”. Marshall studied at the Master's programme in Drug Technology: Research, Development, and Production. He is now doing his PhD at Kemicentrum.
“Listen, learn, and then – act”
The international conference EuroNanoForum 2023, funded by the EU and Vinnova, and organized by us at NanoLund together with Chalmers, brought together leading scientists, innovators, and policymakers from Europe, USA, and China to discuss groundbreaking research and foster collaboration. It gathered almost 400 participants, including the Swedish [...]
Reconfigurable transistors important in future semiconductors
Reconfigurable transistors are key elements in the development of future semiconductors. As conventional transistors approach the limit of how small they can become, more functions in the same number of units will become increasingly important in developing small and energy-efficient circuits for better memories and more powerful computers.
The Golden Lion Award to Sandi Hilal
LTH's visiting professor in architecture, Sandi Hilal, recently received the prestigious Golden Lion award at the Venice Architecture Biennale. At LTH, she works on developing artistic research within architecture with Lise Meitner funds.
