All particles that reach the atmosphere cause different chemical reactions. Particles come partly from natural sources such as volcanic eruptions and forest fires, and partly from pollution and emissions. Aerosol researcher Johan Friberg studies particles at high altitudes. He fears that the global increase in forest fires could have a significant impact on the ozone layer. “I study the air in the

If we can understand how and why light and matter behave as they do, we are one step closer to solving some of the most fundamental problems in physics. Finding the answers to these questions drives Ville Maisi, Associate Professor of Solid States Physics, Department of Physics. As long as he can remember he has been interested electric circuits and physics. With the support of a new ERC Consolida

By analysing high-resolution data from a 10-metre telescope in Hawaii, researchers in Lund, Sweden, have managed to gain new insights into three stars in the centre of the Milky Way. The stars turned out to be unusually young with a puzzling chemical composition that surprises the researchers. In the study, which is published in the scientific journal The Astrophysical Journal Letters, the Lund re

Down in the basement of the Department of Physics, the now world-famous short laser pulses are fired almost daily. This is home to Sweden’s cutting-edge research in attosecond physics. According to Per Eng-Johnsson, professor in atomic, molecular and optical physics, the research field is currently in the midst of a paradigm shift. The term “DIY” may appear to be an unlikely description of a high-

Jonas Johansson is a professor of physics and develops new knowledge for the production of materials at the nanoscale. Anastasia Tsioki is a first-year student on LTH's MSc in Engineering Nanoscience programme. When Jonas was about to publish a scientific article, he turned to Anastasia to illustrate a proposed cover image. The magazine immediately accepted her illustration as the front page image

By utilising quantum mechanics, a quantum computer can solve computational problems that today's supercomputers cannot. But there are problems. As the circuits in quantum computers get bigger, they become more difficult to control. Now researchers have demonstrated a new way to construct quantum circuits for individual light particles. This could enable larger and more complex circuits - crucial t

Entanglement, once dismissed by Einstein as an impossible phenomenon but later shown to be possible by Nobel Prize-winning physicists, continues to raise questions. How can we know that a particle has been controlled? How can we know that the measurements of entanglement we think we are detecting are not in fact misleading due to inadequate detectors? In a new scientific paper, Armin Tavakoli demo

Astronomers can use supercomputers to simulate the formation of galaxies from the Big Bang 13.8 billion years ago to the present day. But there are a number of sources of error. An international research team, led by Lund University and Seoul National University, has spent hundreds of millions of computer hours over eight years trying to correct these. The last decade has seen major advances in co

Particles, sometimes a long way from one another, can be entangled. This strange phenomenon completely confounds our intuition, but the explanation for it has been provided through quantum mechanics. Researchers at the Department of Physics show in a new study that entanglement can also be created in a new way, with the help of intense light, and that they can change the kinetic energy of electron

I CEPIs mWorks projekt har vi vänt på rådande synsätt: vilka styrkor och nya strategier kan hjälpa tillbaka och få arbetet att fungera? Vi vill komma bort från det fokus som nu ligger på diagnos och funktionsnedsättning, och i stället få en person som prickat in sina mål och blivit sin egen agent, säger Ulrika Bejerholm. mWorks är utvecklad för sjukskrivna med depression eller ångest.
