Forskare vid Lunds universitet spelar en central roll i den internationella satsningen på ESA:s nya teleskop ARRAKIHS. Teleskopet ska delta i jakten på svar om hur galaxer bildas och universums gåtfulla mörka materia. Den europeiska rymdorganisationen ESA har nu gett grönt ljus för slutfasen i projektet ARRAKIHS, ett teleskop som ska skjutas upp i jordens omloppsbana år 2030. Lundaforskarna Oscar

Vad händer med sotpartiklar efter att de släppts ut i luften, och hur påverkar de klimatet? I ett nytt avsnitt av podden På tal om universum berättar August Thomasson, doktorand i förbränningsfysik vid Lunds universitet, om sin forskning kring sotutsläpp och deras spridning över Europa. I det senaste avsnittet av den populärvetenskapliga podden På tal om universum berättar August Thomasson, doktor

Intresset för grundutbildningarna på Fysiska institutionen är fortsatt mycket stort. I årets antagning hade kandidatprogrammet i fysik högst antagningspoäng av alla program vid Lunds universitet, samtidigt som civilingenjörsprogrammet Teknisk fysik tillhörde de mest konkurrensutsatta utbildningarna både vid universitetet och i landet. När resultaten från höstens antagning nu är klara står det klar

Astronomer vid Lunds universitet har hittat tecken på exokometer – kometer i andra solsystem – kring en ung stjärna som liknar vår sol. Observationerna pekar mot en möjlig mekanism för hur vatten kan transporteras från planetsystemets kalla yttre delar till områden där planeter bildas. Planetsystemet PDS 70 är drygt fem miljoner år gammalt och ligger omkring 370 ljusår från jorden. Systemet har mi

Med stöd av ett ERC Starting Grant på 1,9 miljoner euro ska Lundafysikern Kim Cuong Le utveckla nya laser- och röntgenbaserade metoder för att studera hur sot bildas, förändras i atmosfären och påverkar klimatet. Sot är en av de mest skadliga luftföroreningarna. Det bildas vid ofullständig förbränning från exempelvis transporter, biomassaförbränning och avfallsförbränning, och påverkar både männis

Forskare vid avdelningen för fasta tillståndets fysik och NanoLund, LTH, har utvecklat en ny typ av lysdiod baserad på tunna grenar i en nanostruktur, som i framtiden kan ge betydligt högre verkningsgrad och lägre produktionskostnad än dagens teknik. Genom att styra var i strukturen ljuset genereras har forskarna lyckats minska de förluster som annars begränsar hur mycket ljus som kan användas. I
