When researchers at Stem Cell Center investigated how the molecule UM171 works, a molecule used to make blood stem cells multiply, they made an unexpected connection. The results provide new insights into how one of the most common malignant brain tumours in children could be treated in the future. UM171 is a synthetic molecule developed by researchers at Université de Montréal. In stem cell resea

An economist as a comic book character, podcaster, or cultural commentator? Andreas Bergh from LUSEM has chosen all three (and a bit more) as he, alongside his lectures on microeconomics and the welfare state, curiously explores various ways to reach the public. Here, he shares his best tips on where and why. Comics – because it’s so challenging. "It’s a challenge to simplify complex things. That’

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

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

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
