Transistors that can change properties are important elements in the development of tomorrow’s semiconductors. With standard transistors approaching the limit for how small they can be, having more functions on the same number of units becomes increasingly important in enabling the development of small, energy-efficient circuits for improved memory and more powerful computers. Researchers at Lund

Friday 5 May Elton Chan defended his thesis which explores the production and transformation of public spaces in Hong Kong, a city that is steeped in neoliberal ideals and has seen substantial deterioration in terms of democratic rights and freedoms in recent years. Drawing upon recent protest movements in Hong Kong and the ways in which protesters appropriated and transformed different urban spac

Studying at university can be quite different from many students’ expectations if all teaching is digital. Being a new student in a solely digital learning environment can make it challenging to get to know other students and lecturers, to be part of a social context and to feel a sense of belonging to Lund University, which comes more naturally on campus. There is not a world of difference in ter

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Textile – a growing sustainability challengeWe are buying more clothes than ever before, but there is still no efficient system to close the material loop. What if we handed over responsibility of our discarded clothes to the producers – would it lead to a quality rise in our wardrobes? IIIEE researcher Naoko Tojo has

This year's recipient of the Leif C. Groop Award for Outstanding Diabetes Research maps out mechanisms in the adipose tissue, which has increased the understanding of why some people with obesity develop type 2 diabetes. Ingrid Wernstedt Asterholm at University of Gothenburg is spurred to find new answers when observations in the lab do not agree with the general view. Justification for awarding"I

Renewable and affordable energy is key for societal and economic growth, and for achieving national and global climate goals. Research from LUCSUS is mapping the energy transition in Nepal and has identified how increasing energy access is closely linked to a new political awakening in the country.  "Nepal is a very interesting case study since it has been held up as a case for how a country can t

The coast is changing. The sea is encroaching further inland, and the shoreline of childhood memory no longer looks the same. Climate change is impacting beaches and the sea, but time is also a factor. Someone who knows a lot about changes to the Skåne coastline is Caroline Hallin. She is a coastal engineer whose research focuses on erosion, storm surges and nature-adapted coastal protection at th

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 LTH genom högprecisionsmätningar kommit ett steg närmare en förklaring till vad det är som händer. Resultaten publiceras nu i Nature Physics. Supraledning är beroende av närvaron av elektroner bundna i så kallade

For decades, the Swedish forest have been intensely managed through clear-cutting and tree planting to maximize wood production. This type of management has created a strong culture and tradition where foresters feel that it is difficult to gain knowledge about, and support for, other forest management methods, for instance continuous cover forestry. This is according to researchers at LUCSUS who

Roach that migrate between different lakes and water courses have larger pupils and better eyesight than roach that stay in one place. The adaptation makes it easier for the red-eyed freshwater migrants to find food in murky waters. This is shown in a large study from Lund University in Sweden. Animals’ eyes, just like those of humans, are a kind of window to the world. Eyesight controls important

The Department of Sociology's Christopher Mathieu is one of the editors of a new and heavy tome clarifying the complex and much-debated issue of the quality of jobs. It is easy to imagine what it is like to have a good job: good pay, low stress, short hours, a lot of freedom and creativity and a strong sense of meaning. Friendly colleagues would be nice. What about a comfortable workspace or an in
