How should we collaborate on a national strategy for semiconductors? The answer could be closer than we think. After the panel discussion during “Politics Week” in Almedalen, Lund University is now taking the first step towards establishing a national competence center for semiconductors. The shortage of semiconductors is a global challenge that requires quick solutions. During the recent  Almedal

Normally, Nobel Symposia are quite rare, therefore it is quite remarkable that NanoLund researchers were the main organizers of two symposia that took place nearly at the same time. The Nobel Symposium NS 173: “Exploring complex molecular and condensed phase processes and functions by multidimensional spectroscopy from THz to X-rays” was held August 7–11, 2022 in Båstad. The Nobel Symposium NS166:

NanoLund researchers Björn Annby-Andersson and Peter Samuelsson have developed a “master equation” that will help engineers understand feedback at the quantum scale. Many everyday technologies make use of feedback control routinely in order to manage operations of devices and processes. But physicists do not yet have an equivalent understanding of feedback control at the quantum level.  Annby-Ande

“Our main conclusion is that nanowires are promising building blocks for the next generation of high efficiency solar cells at economically viable cost that are sustainable, flexible and radiation hard,” says NanoLund researcher Lukas Hrachowina. “Generating sustainable energy is not only crucial to mitigate global warming, but it is also important for geopolitical reasons to be independent of fos

An entire day full of scientific talks, poster mingling, and plenty of opportunities to discuss all varieties of playing with the energies inside materials. The NanoLund Annual Meeting was held, dinner was enjoyed – and several prizes were given to the awardees. Once a year, NanoLundians meet in Lund for an annual meeting. This year’s theme was “Materials – building the world” and the exciting pro

The Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation is awarding SEK 700 million to 23 innovative basic research projects at Swedish universities. Four of them are based in Lund – and two are connected to NanoLund. Sara Linse will study disease-preventing proteins – and Mathieu Gisselbrecht will study the quantum mechanical phenomenon entanglement. This year, the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation is awardi

There is still much we don’t know about the tiny plastic particles thought to be all around us. In a new study, Tommy Cedervall and his research group show that the rate of degradation may be faster for nanoplastics than for larger plastic debris. The reason is that UV radiation plays a role in the degradation process, and the radiation seems to have a greater effect on smaller particles. “This is

With the help of mirrors, placed only a few hundred nanometers apart, a research team led by NanoLundian Tönu Pullerits has managed to use light more efficiently. The finding could eventually be useful for controlling solar energy conversion during photosynthesis, or other reactions driven by light. One application could for example be converting carbon dioxide into fuel. The LU research team has

As a gateway into the NanoLund Mentoring program, a career development workshop for PhD students was held with the aim to teach transferable skills that non-academic employers value from people with an academic background – and how to use them to describe your drives and motivation. How should I navigate my career path? What are my skills and drivers? What choices should I make?  These were some o
