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-

On December 18th, it's time for LTH's official celebration of the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physics. Then our own laureate – Professor Anne L'Huillier – will hold a Nobel lecture which will be broadcasted via LTH's YouTube channel. After the lecture, we invite you to a conversation with Anne L'Huillier, where she will answer questions from the audience and viewers about her new life as a Nobel laureate.

WISE, the Wallenberg Initiative Materials Science for Sustainability, is the largest-ever investment in materials science in Sweden and is financed by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation. WISE is now investing 500 million SEK (45 million Euros) for equipment and infrastructure at seven universities in Sweden to establish a national infrastructure for research into sustainable materials.

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

Med tydliga lärandemål och ett gott bruk av Canvas kan vi göra bättre examinationer som kräver mindre arbete av oss som lärare. Här vill jag visa hur en komplex examinationsform kan göras enklare för både lärare och studenter genom att bygga den på ett genomtänkt sätt i Canvas.

Att det är en konst att skriva bra flervalsfrågor är det nog många lärare som håller med om. Flervalsfrågor, på engelska kallade Multiple Choice Questions eller MCQ, är så kallade stängda frågor, där den som svarar får välja bland ett antal givna svarsalternativ istället för att själv formulera ett svar.

I kursen Reaktionsteknik ingår obligatoriska datorövningar. Vid datorövningarna används Matlab. Den pågående pandemin gjorde att datorövningar inte kunde genomföras på plats. Under datorövningarna får studenterna både hjälp med uppgifterna och det noteras vilka uppgifter som avklarats.

Photo: Markus Spiske on Unsplash The pandemic has made us test alternatives to our traditional exam methods, alternatives that work digitally and on remote. Some of these alternatives are worth keeping also when we head back to traditional, on campus, teaching. One thing we have learned the past years is that remote surveillance is problematic (no guarantee it works 100%) and limiting students’ ac

When using quizzes you might want to adjust the points to make them better match what the student deserve. Photo by Ben White on Unsplash Inflexibility Many of us are using the quiz function in Canvas, both for allowing students to practice and for exams. Canvas uses a rather inflexible way of automatically grading the answers in most cases – either the answers are completely correct or all wrong!
