Positivity, humour and tireless energy have characterised Professor Roland Andersson's 40 years at the Faculty. As a happy retiree-to-be, he looks back on his time here. "My advice is to prepare in time", he says. Roland Andersson is a surgeon and professor. He is also one of the pioneers in life science and innovation and was involved in the founding of the Lund company Probi. For some time he wa

Astronomers from Lund University in Sweden have now found the explanation to a recent mystery at the centre of the Milky Way galaxy: the high levels of scandium discovered last spring near the galaxy’s giant black hole were in fact an optical illusion. Last spring, researchers published a study about the apparent pres

Phasing out coal for 2 °C target requires worldwide replication of most ambitious national plans despite security and fairness concerns. Ending the use of unabated coal power is a key climate change mitigation measure. However, we do not know how fast it is feasible to phase-out coal on the global scale. Historical experience of individual countries indicates feasible coal phase-out rates, but can

The energy sector is one of the sectors that need to undergo both rapid and far-reaching transformation to limit the effects of climate change. What is the significance of basic research, which investigates new theories and new approaches, in driving development? Solar energy has great potential to become one of our most important energy sources. The energy in the sun’s rays corresponds to more th

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

Climate change is damaging public health and is also leading to premature deaths. At the same time, the healthcare sector itself is responsible for significant emissions. Studies of intensive care and surgical care in Sweden show that over 60 per cent of the climate impact in intensive care is driven by the growing volume of single-use products, according to research by Linn Hemberg at Lund Univer

The Swedish Research Council has recently recommended that the government establish new strategic research areas. In two of them, researchers within NanoLund play key roles: Quantum technologies and Advanced materials. These are two fields that are crucial for the future energy transition, digitalisation, and technological development. Strategic Research Area Advanced MaterialsWithin the research

Bioenergy plays a vital role in the transition to a fossil-free society. However, the "unused" agricultural land, so-called marginal land, deemed suitable for bioenergy cultivation in southern Sweden is practically nonexistent, according to a new study from Lund University. Much of the land is already in use, for example, for horse grazing. "Our study shows that the potential for bioenergy product
