Since the discovery of graphene twenty years ago, physicists have been looking for materials that consist of two-dimensional layers. This study is about a newly emerging family, the transition metal halides. “Transition metal halides are a new class of van der Waals materials that we have identified as an ideal platform for many-body engineering. We are very enthusiastic about this class of materi

Can a bee’s brain teach us to build better computers? Bees navigate with remarkable precision using less than one hundredth of a watt of energy, while today’s navigation chips often use over 7 watts and weigh about 80 times as much as a bee. In an interview with Horizon, Anders Mikkelsen, coordinator of the European Innovation Council-funded project InsectNeuroNano, tells us about how nature’s nav

The development of the Lund innovation district places LTH in a highly central position. At LTH, we continue to evaluate the opportunities that an establishment there could offer, in what may become a dynamic environment for interdisciplinary breakthrough research and vibrant innovation, writes Annika Olsson, Dean of LTH, in her Dean’s Blog. With the major facilities MAX IV and ESS, north‑eastern

This year we are organising support activities on how to write a competitive proposal for an ERC grant. And we are happy to see so many taking part in the first workshop with a deep-dive into the finer points of how to effectively present and position yourself as the PI of a high-impact research grant. Researchers from NanoLund are welcome to participate in support activities on how to write a com

Think of the proteins in your brain as delicate pieces of origami. A new study from the Medical Microspectroscopy group at Lund University reveals that polystyrene nanoplastics, commonly found in everyday items like food packaging, act like “clumsy hands” that force these proteins to fold incorrectly. Lead author Iran Augusto Neves da Silva used advanced label-free optical photothermal infrared (O

The Swedish Research Council has recently recommended that the government establish new strategic research areas. In two of them, researchers within NanoLund play key roles: Quantum technologies and Advanced materials. These are two fields that are crucial for the future energy transition, digitalisation, and technological development. Strategic Research Area Advanced MaterialsWithin the research

More than half a billion people are affected by type 2 diabetes – and the number is growing. In a recent publication in the journal Small, researchers explain how nanoelectroporation can be used to deliver molecules that can affect insulin expression through epigenetic means, potentially leading to new treatments. Genetics cannot explain type 2 diabetes, and epigenetics (i.e. chemical modification

In an article recently published in Nature Communications, researchers Fan Wu, Tu C.

An evolutionary perspective should be taken into account to ensure long-term crop pollination. This is the conclusion of an article published by BECC and CEC-affiliated researchers at Lund University. The researchers build on recent findings that evolutionary processes, in response to landscape change, are happening faster than previously thought. The article presents a model that can help us unde

Ullrika Sahlin, a CEC researcher specialising in Computational Science for Health and Environment (COSHE) research, recently completed a mission for the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). EFSA's scientific experts learned how to express uncertainty in a clear way. EFSA was set up in 2002 in the wake of crises of confidence in food safety. Its mandate is to carry out scientific assessments of r

A computational science hub, COSHE, has been established at Lund University. The aim is to become a creative hub for computational science with a focus on interdisciplinary research in the fields of health, climate and the environment. COSHE works with machine learning, statistical learning methods, physical system modeling and quantum computing. The research groups behind COSHE already have parti

Toxins and chemicals are a major threat to our environment. The "third crisis" - the chemical crisis - is often forgotten when we talk about the climate and endangered species. Ahead of Biodiversity Day on 22 May, Maria Hansson, a researcher at Lund University, offers tips on how to create a non-toxic environment in your own garden, benefiting all its inhabitants, big and small.

After a year of intensive work by many involved, the Swedish Climate Symposium with its close to 400 participants, has come to an end. Now an evaluation of the conference awaits, but the feeling is that most people experienced it as a successful event. To take the pulse during the symposium itself, we did a couple of short interviews with some of those who were there. Read the article which is pub

Have you noticed that when scientists are asked whether or not a particular extreme weather event is due to climate change, they usually respond with something like "It fits the pattern, but we can't say for sure that this particular event is worse because of climate change"? Weather attribution is a new phenomenon that is changing this. Climate scientist Wilhelm May at Lund University helps us ge
