Yue Zhao, Haonan Chen and Magnus Borgström at NanoLund have developed a new type of light-emitting diode based on thin branched nanowires, which could offer significantly higher efficiency and lower production costs than current technology. By controlling where in the structure the light is generated, the researchers have reduced the losses that would otherwise limit the amount of light that can b

On 20 October, MAX IV celebrated 10 years of accelerating science and 40 years since the founding of the laboratory’s predecessor, Max-lab. Read three interviews with NanoLundian researchers whose work depends on proximity to MAX IV. When Jesper Wallentin returned to Lund eleven years ago, MAX IV was still under construction, and the X-ray methods he wanted to use were not available in Lund. Since

Modern computers are a triumph of technology. A single computer chip contains billions of nanometre-scaled transistors that operate extremely reliably and at a rate of millions of operations per second. However, this high speed and reliability come at the cost of significant energy consumption: data centres and household IT appliances like computers and smartphones account for around 3% of global

Linnéa Jönsson and Patrik Nilsson were two of the PhD students who seized the opportunity to have a research visit financed by NanoLund last year. This is a support that NanoLundians – PhD students as well as senior scientists – can apply for at any time. “Do it! You have to take the opportunity to do something like this if you get the chance,” says Linnéa Jönsson. As a researcher at NanoLund, you

The Boards of the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) and the Faculty of Science have decided to aim for a more modest establishment in Science Village, i.e. the area between Max IV and ESS. They justify the decision by the fact that the Departments of Physics and Chemistry would incur high rental costs if both research and education were to move, says Annika Mårtensson, assistant dean for research progr

Dark excitons are material excitations not visible under light illumination. Some acquire intrinsic momentum and become inherently mobile, which can be exploited in charge transport applications. Studying the properties of such excitons via spectroscopy is extremely challenging due to their dark nature. “Although the intrinsic mobility of dark excitons may be suitable for charge transport in futur
