Increased use of solar cells in the future requires higher efficiency and lower production costs. Innovative research from the interdisciplinary centre NanoLund wants to optimize the nanowires so that sunlight can be harvested more efficiently. Meet three young international researchers in the PhD4Energy project, working on hunting the sun. Solar energy, which reaches our earth every day, correspo

The headlines about non-functioning security alarms, about cameras and soon also AI in the home service, are getting more and more. But what happens when the welfare technology does not work? Next year, a new research project will be launched which will investigate this very thing. The CASE researchers, associate professors Gunilla Carlsson, Connie Lethin and Agneta Malmgren Fänge, have in previou

Underground fungi play a central role in the fragile ecosystems of atoll islands. The unique symbiotic relationship between these fungi and rainforest trees is vital for the restoration of nature and ultimately for the survival of coral reefs. New research shows how fungi help nutrients to move between the forest and the sea. Palmyra Atoll is a remote and uninhabited cluster of small islands halfw
