Solar energy stored in the form of fuel is something scientists hope could partially replace fossil fuels in the future. Researchers may have solved a long-standing problem that has hindered the development of sustainable solar fuels. If solar energy can be used more efficiently using iron-based systems, this could pave the way for cheaper solar fuels. “We can now see previously hidden mechanisms

Work on Lund University’s establishment in Science Village has continued this year, but with a new focus. At the end of 2024, the boards of LTH and the Faculty of Science decided not to proceed with scenario 5 – a co-location of the Department of Physics and the Department of Chemistry in the area – due to cost considerations and the challenges of running education across two sites. The project gr

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

When light ejects electrons from atoms, understanding their full quantum nature goes beyond measuring momentum. Using quantum-state tomography, researchers reconstructed the complete quantum states of electrons emitted from helium and argon atoms by ultrashort extreme-ultraviolet light pulses. They found that helium produces a pure state, while argon’s spin–orbit interaction entangles the electron

Physics World reports that Researchers at NanoLund have grown single continuous GaAs nanowires consisting of segments of pure wurtzite and zincblende phases. Using photoluminescence spectroscopy, they found that the spatial confinement along the radius of a nanowire resulted in bending of the band structure of the material.Read the article "Radial band bending at wurtzite–zinc-blende–GaAs interfac

Researcher Karin Steen is leading a new Formas project on love, gender and agriculture in Zimbabwe. – I wanted to pursue research that took a different approach to sustainability, gender, power and agriculture. Usually, you look at things like ownership and access to land. By focusing on immaterial values such as love, I believe that you can gain new insights into existing power structures, and ho

Take the opportunity and apply for the capacity building programme Land is Life. The programme aims to train future leaders and decision-makers from across Africa to build knowledge, understand measurement and develop leadership on SDG15 – Ecosystem and biodiversity.  Land is at the heart of what makes agriculture function in sub-Saharan Africa, and as such it is also crucial to reducing poverty.

Agriculture is critical to achieving many of the Sustainable Development Goals. New research from Lund University shows that researchers, policymakers, and farmers in Europe currently have different, often conflicting priorities for sustainable agriculture. The researchers propose a way forward built on shared priorities. – We identified precisely where the major gaps between research, policy, and

Last summer's extreme drought hit farmers and horse stables in county Skåne hard. Yields were smaller than normal and the price of fodder has increased.  Now, researchers from LUCSUS and Lund University want to gather farmers’ experiences of the drought to find out more about the major challenges to adapt the Swedish agricultural sector.  – We are interested in how different famers handled the dro
