In a pioneering nano experiment, a research team in Lund has successfully constructed a new and very efficient 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

The students were recruited internationally during the pandemic. Now, with restrictions eased, it was finally possible to have a kick-off meeting, interact and identify synergies between their projects which are in materials science, biomedicine and energy. In 2020, NanoLund was awarded GenerationNano, a Marie Skłodowska-Curie COFUND nanoscience doctoral training program to address sustainability

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
