The final report of how to achieve a cost reduction of SEK 40 million in the animal house organisation by 2027 including an action plan to reach this goal has now been presented. "The main message is that it is now time to act, we urgently need to do something", investigator Bo Ahrén said. According to the report, the challenge for the Faculty is a large over capacity of animal houses and a declin

How can it be determined whether a person has died by suicide or homicide – an assessment that is key to the legal process? A new thesis from Lund University in Sweden shows how forensic medicine can become more accurate and legally sound by relying on systematic data rather than professional experience alone. In her thesis, Maria Berg von Linde, a recent doctoral graduate from Lund University and

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

Supraledare är en hörnsten i bland annat kvantdatorer och partikeldetektorer. Ett vanligt problem är dock att effektiviteten försämras av olika störningar. Nu har forskare vid bland annat naturvetenskapliga fakulteten genom högprecisionsmätningar kommit ett steg närmare en förklaring till vad det är som händer. Supraledning är beroende av närvaron av elektroner bundna i så kallade Cooper-par. Två
