In a joint initiative, six Swedish universities are now joining forces to establish the Swedish Center for Quantum Technology, a national centre for research, innovation, education and capacity building in quantum technology. The initiative aims to strengthen Sweden’s competitiveness in the field and to serve as a driving force for the development and application of the technology. Globally, quant

In an article published in Nature Communications, researchers Fan Wu, Tu C. Nguyen-Phan, Richard Cogdell, and Tönu Pullerits suggest that optical microcavities can be a strategic tool for modifying excitation energy transfer between molecular complexes. “We show that optical microcavities can enhance energy transfer between photosynthetic light-harvesting complexes, even in the weak coupling regim

A groundbreaking study from Lund University in Sweden shows that the Australian Bogong moth uses the stars and the Milky Way as a compass during its annual 1,000-kilometre journey to cool inland caves. It also reveals that the Earth’s magnetic field plays an important role in the enigmatic moth’s navigation. It is absolutely amazing considering the length of the journey. It’s the equivalent of a h

A new study from Lund University shows that migratory birds fly most efficiently at moderate speeds – precisely the pace they use during their long journeys across continents. Now, at the end of summer, when thrush nightingales leave Sweden for Southern Africa, they don’t fly flat out. Instead, they cruise at a steady pace – and according to the study from Lund, that’s no coincidence.Migratory bir
