By studying cold atoms, researchers have in a unique way been able to observe a precursor to a quantum phase transition, and thereby study physical processes that can be compared to the Higgs mechanism. The discovery can, among other things, provide more knowledge about quantum mechanical processes that are similar to the processes in which matter changes its state from gas, liquid, or solid form

What is all the dark matter in the universe made of? Could it be connected to new particles that can be produced at the Large Hadron Collider? Caterina Doglioni, assistant senior lecturer in particle physics, will search for new particles beyond the known fundamental components of matter with the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Caterina Doglioni is receiving around SEK 20 mill

If silence is golden, speech is silver – and singing the worst. Singing doesn’t need to be silenced, however, but at the moment the wisest thing is to sing with social distancing in place. The advice comes from aerosol researchers at Lund University in Sweden. They have studied the amount of particles we actually emit when we sing – and by extension – if we contribute to the increased spread of Co

We are facing new challenges, and consequently we need the development of electronics to continue. But the question is: how do we do that? Mattias Borg, co-coordinator of Exploratory Nanotechnology, explains how. The basis of the electronics we use today, such as home computers and mobile phones, was invented more than 50 years ago. And in recent years its development has begun to stall. According
