By describing his research as a battle between good and evil and likening himself to a hacker who attacks cancer cells to make them kind, PhD student Luís Oliveira took home the win in this year's Research Grand Prix. It is a competition in presentation technique for researchers, and it was held in front of an audience of almost 400 students at Helsingborg's Stadsteater on 1 October. His presentat

Superconductors are a cornerstone of quantum computers and particle detectors, among other things. However, a common problem is that their efficiency is degraded by various interferences. Now, researchers have come one step closer to explaining what is happening through high-precision measurements. The results are now being published in Nature Physics. Superconductivity depends on the presence of

The internal combustion engine is a subject that has been described as nasty and outdated. In fact, it is not outdated at all – but an area of cutting-edge research that is an important part of a sustainable energy transition.

ECT, eller elbehandling, är en behandling med god effekt för svårt deprimerade patienter. Men många patienter är oroliga för biverkningar, främst långvariga minnessvårigheter. Nu har forskare vid Lunds universitet i studier på möss undersökt om ECT påverkar halterna av proteinet beta-amyloid i hjärnan– det protein som klumpar ihop sig och bildar plack i hjärnan vid Alzheimers sjukdom.
