The winter season virus has struck – and covid-19 is still part of everyday life. But unlike during the pandemic, we now know more about how the virus is spread through the air we breathe. Research results from Malin Alsved and Jakob Löndahl show that it only takes a few minutes in the same room as an infected person to catch the virus. The aerosol researchers at LTH are behind the study, in which

The Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth – Tillväxtverket – allocates SEK 12 million from the European Regional Development Fund to Lund Nano Lab (Myfab Lund). Over the next four years, the money will strengthen cooperation between academia and industry in the field of semiconductors, and lower the threshold to the lab for companies. Anneli Löfgren, deputy director of NanoLund, will be

The 15th International Conference on Nitride Semiconductors (ICNS-15) is just around the corner. Taking place in Malmö, July 6–11, the conference will showcase groundbreaking advancements in materials, physics, optical and electronic devices based on group-III nitride semiconductors. As the call for abstracts deadline for the upcoming conference ICNS-15 approaches, we asked one of the chairs, Vany

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
