For 50 years, the research community has been hunting unsuccessfully for the so-called Odderon particle. Now, a Swedish-Hungarian research group has discovered the mythical particle with the help of extensive analysis of experimental data from the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Switzerland. In 1973, two French particle physicists found that, according to their calculations, there was a previousl

The question of how small, dwarf galaxies have sustained the formation of new stars over the course of the Universe has long confounded the world’s astronomers. An international research team led by Lund University in Sweden has found that dormant small galaxies can slowly accumulate gas over many billions of years. When this gas suddenly collapses under its own weight, new stars are able to arise

According to  2200 years old records, the so far never opened tomb of emperor Qin should contain large amounts of liquid mercury, forming lakes and rivers of a large-scale “map” of China, which had been unified by him.  Recently, the research group of Prof. Sune Svanberg, part-time active at South China Normal University in Guangzhou, and currently remaining as part-time senior professor at the Ph

Anders Johansen, professor in Astronomy at Lund University, has been chosen to be Wallenberg Scholar. The Wallenberg Scholar program focuses on Sweden's leading senior researchers. It was implemented because researchers need long-term funding without the distraction of pressure to secure external grants in order to carry out world-class research. The grant can be freely used for research for five

Theories were introduced as far back as the 1960s about the possible existence of superheavy elements. Their most long-lived nuclei could give rise to a so-called “island of stability” far beyond the element uranium. However, a new study, led by nuclear physicists at Lund University, shows that a 50-year-old nuclear physics manifesto must now be revised. The heaviest element found in nature is ura

For the first time, a unique study conducted at Lund University in Sweden has tracked the meteorite flux to Earth over the past 500 million years. Contrary to current theories, researchers have determined that major collisions in the asteroid belt have not generally affected the number of impacts with Earth to any great extent. Researchers have been studying geological series since the 19th centur

Martin Leijnse, researcher in solid state physics at Lund University in Sweden, has received a prestigious European Research Council (ERC) synergy grant worth EUR 1.5 million. He shares the total grant amount of EUR 10 million with three researchers from the University of Copenhagen. The four researchers have worked together previously. Among other things, they have contributed to proving that a l

Associate Professor Maria Messing received the Smoluchowski Award August 27, 2019, during the Annual European Aerosol Conference in Gothenburg, Sweden. The Smoluchowski Award, named after the physicist Marian Smoluchowski (1872 – 1917) is awarded annually to one or two young researchers (under 40 years of age) who has/have significantly contributed to the field of aerosol science. The award is con

In a pioneering nanoexperiment, a research team in Lund has succeeded in constructing a new and very effecient microwave photon detector. The discovery could accelerate the development of future quantum computers. Microwaves are a collective term for electromagnetic radiation in the higher radio frequency bands; they can be used for everything from warming up fish dishes to searching for extraterr

Kimberly Dick Thelander has been named Wallenberg scholar. The Wallenberg Scholar program focuses on Sweden’s leading senior researchers. It was implemented because researchers need long-term funding without the distraction of pressure to secure external grants in order to carry out world-class research.

The semiconductor shortage was one reason why Swedish Minister of EU Affairs Hans Dahlgren recently visited NanoLund and the Lund Nano Lab. – We’ve been given a very fascinating description of how far ahead we are in Sweden and here in Lund, when it comes to research and development of the most valuable technologies we currently have: those of nano-scale components in semiconductors and other aspe

Site-selected crystal material synthesis at the atomic scale has been a long-standing challenge. NanoLundians Rainer Timm and Yi Liu use nanowire crystal phase heterostructures as templates for self-selective growth of one- and two-dimensional GaBi nanostructures, which allows a versatile design with atomic-scale precision. Scaling down material synthesis to crystalline structures only a few atoms

Using a mathematical model, researchers have been able to link confirmed covid-19 cases with intensive care admissions and deaths. The model, which allows prediction and planning of health care burden, could be valuable during the current pandemic as well as in future epidemics.

På senare år har man upptäckt ett 70-tal genetiska riskvarianter för diabetes, men fortfarande är TCF7L2 - känd som ”diabetesgenen” - den gen som innebär störst risk för att insjukna i typ 2 diabetes. Med hjälp av en ny metod, ”exon skipping”, vill Ola Hansson vid Lunds universitets Diabetescentrum fördjupa kunskapen om TCF7L2 genom att i djurförsök studera nya sätt att fördröja insjuknande i typ
