Rapidus reports that Google Inc has invested 120 MSEK in Glo in a funding round during the summer. Glo is developing RGB direct-emitting display panels with better contrast and lower power consumption than LCD screens while yielding higher overall brightness than OLED.In total Glo has attracted about 1200 MSEK since the start in 2008 when it spun out from research at NanoLund (then called the Nano

In a new study, Donatas Zigmantas and Erling Thyrhaug from NanoLund, together with researchers from the University of Copenhagen, have studied nanoclusters consisting of 20 silver atoms. For the first time, the researchers managed to measure the exact energy levels and identified that the ultrafast energy flow is linked to the structural changes that occur when light excites these nanoclusters.

Researchers from NanoLund and from Fudan University in China have successfully designed a new structural organization using the promising solar cell material perovskite. The study shows that solar cells increase in efficiency thanks to the material’s ability to self-organise by standing on edge.The current research study deals with perovskite, a new and promising material in the context of solar c

Researchers involved in NanoLund have succeeded in producing nanotubes from a single building block using so-called molecular self-recognition. The tube can also change shape depending on the surrounding environment. The results can contribute to the future development of transport channels for drugs through the cell membrane.In the present study, researchers from Lund University in Sweden, togeth

A group of researchers active at NanoLund have made the first iron-based molecule capable of emitting light. This could contribute to the development of affordable and environmentally friendly materials for e.g. solar cells, light sources and displays.Through advanced molecular design, the Lund researchers have now successfully manipulated the electronic properties of iron-based molecules so that

The usual way of cultivating cells is to use a flat laboratory dish of glass. However, inside a human body, the cells do not grow on a flat surface, but rather in three dimensions. This has lead researchers at Lund University in Sweden to develop a porous “spaghetti” of tissue-friendly polymers with cavities in which the cells can develop in a more natural way.The Lund researchers have achieved go

Äldre med missbruk bollas runt och skapar frustration – särskilda boenden en lösning Forskare vid Socialhögskolan har gjort den första kartläggningen någonsin av boenden för äldre med missbruksproblem. Gemensamt för dessa är att den som bor där accepteras som aktiv i sitt missbruk och att ingen behandling ges. Ställena fyller en viktig funktion, menar forskarna, men de bör varken idealiseras eller

Det sätt som socialnämnderna utövar föräldraansvar på idag riskerar i många fall att göra mer skada än nytta för många barn i samhällsvård. Det skriver Martin Bergström tillsammans med tre forskarkolleger i en debattartikel i Socionomen, den 22 november.
