A few sharp minds working together for almost an entire summer. The task: to tackle the problem that a couple of days of work generates so much data, that it would take months to analyse. Synchrotron X-ray diffraction is a technique that allows us to obtain precise and detailed structural information of materials and their properties, and to fundamentally understand physical processes at the atomi

Cake and a packed Rydberg Hall set the tone when Fysicum celebrated its 75th anniversary. The Department of Physics invited guests to a party, and the audience was treated to a dizzying journey through history, presented by Professor Erik Swietlicki. When Lund University was founded in 1666, there was no faculty of natural sciences. Instead, physics was part of the faculty of philosophy, and for a

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. It worked out – in the end. The enormous European investment in food development, “Food KIC”, did not go to the consortium of which Lund University was a part in 2016. But that was then. Now the board of the winning network, EIT Food, has decided that Lund University is to become a full member of their network instead

On-chip optical communication between tiny light-based components can make neuromorphic (brain-inspired) computing much smaller and more energy-efficient. In this work, researchers demonstrate that individual nanowire devices on a silicon chip can transmit and receive light signals directly to each other. These miniature circuits communicate reliably, using significantly less power than convention
