Fysikforskare vid Lunds universitet lyckades nyligen bygga små solslukande antenner – nanotrådar – med tre olika material som bättre matchar solspektrat jämfört med dagens kiselsolceller. Eftersom nanotrådarna är lätta och kräver lite material per ytenhet ska de nu testinstalleras på satelliter, vilka drivs av solceller och där verkningsgrad i kombination med låg vikt är A och O.

Forskare vid Lunds universitets Epilepsicentrum har med hjälp av en neuropeptid lyckats minska anfallsliknande aktivitet i vävnad från patienter med läkemedelsresistent epilepsi. En utmaning när forskare studerar hjärnans sjukdomar är att det av förklarliga skäl är svårt att få tag i mänsklig hjärnvävnad att utföra experiment på. Därför används experimentella modeller, till exempel musstudier, men

How can images show that the world we live in is being subjected to ongoing climate change? This is the research question being considered by Adam Brenthel, a doctoral student in art history. He has studied researchers’ attempts to translate their findings into images to better communicate them to the general public. He thinks polar bears, the animal most often used to symbolise climate change, ar

By preventing sugar uptake, researchers succeeded in increasing the cancer cells’ sensitivity to chemotherapeutic treatment. The studies, led by researchers at Lund University in Sweden, were carried out on cancer cells in a lab environment. The results were recently published in the research journal Haematologica. Just like the body’s cells, cancer cells need energy like the sugar molecule, gluco

Sara Linse, Professor of Biochemistry and Structural Biology, has been awarded an ERC Advanced Grant worth 2.5 million euro. Chemistry professor Sara Linse’s research project, CHAPLIN, is to investigate the thermodynamic basis for how a group of chaperone proteins work. This applies to chaperone proteins that increase other proteins’ solubility and thereby protect against neurogenerative diseases
