The boundaries between biology and technology are becoming blurred. Researchers at Linköping, Lund, and Gothenburg universities in Sweden have successfully grown electrodes in living tissue using the body’s molecules as triggers. The result, published in the journal Science, paves the way for the formation of fully integrated electronic circuits in living organisms. Linking electronics to biologic

A team of NanoLund researchers sought ways to make students understand what is actually happening inside the “magic black box” of a commercial spectrophotometer. “This set promotes discovery in a natural and self-motivating way. By changing samples in the spectrometer, we can explore a variety of materials and their properties,” says NanoLundian Jens Uhlig, one of the researchers behind the work.

Nanoparticles can be used to detect certain lung diseases. The AiDA measurement method – based on the inhalation of nanoparticles – is easy to use and can complement other lung examinations. The method has now been tested on over 800 people, and the results look promising, according to a new thesis in aerosol technology. Measuring the structure of the lung is difficult; even lung scans cannot reli

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.
