There is a considerable risk that plastic waste in the environment releases nano-sized particles known as nanoplastics, according to a new study from Lund University. NanoLund researchers studied what happened when takeaway coffee cup lids, for example, were subjected to mechanical breakdown, in an effort to mimic the degradation that happens to plastic in the ocean.“We have been able to show that

NanoLund researchers in collaboration with researchers from Uppsala University and University of Copenhagen have designed an iron complex which has shown to be luminescent and to have charge-transfer capabilities. This opens up for the possibility of replacing the expensive and rare metals such as ruthenium, osmium and iridium with iron in metal complexes of photocatalysts.Read the article Lumines

A recent article in Nature Nanotechnology by NanoLund researchers show that a quantum dot-based heat engine can convert heat into work with an efficiency similar to that of similar machines with moving parts. As quantum dot-based engine has no moving parts it may be useful in applications such as nanotechnology and remote sensing. To Chemistry World, Heiner Linke explains: We have shown that we ca
