The Pufendorf Institute for Advanced Studies believes that the best decisions come from blending fresh perspectives with institutional memory. That’s why the institute doesn't replace its entire board at once. Board members are appointed by the Lund University Vice Chancellor for three-year terms, with the possibility of serving an additional three years. This December, the institute expressed war

AbstractThis article takes as its point of departure the postcolonial understanding of the nation as a subject constructed through the colonial encounter. It argues that at the core of both colonial and postcolonial subject formations lies a desire for reconstructing a homogeneous nation that fulfils a ‘hunger for certainty’. The use of the term ‘hunger for certainty’ testifies to the emotional as

Jakten på att kunna kontrollera kvantfysikens märkvärdiga fenomen pågår världen över. Årets Nobelpris i fysik bidrar till att göra ämnet ännu hetare. Även vid Lunds universitet deltar man i att utforska kvanttillståndens okända och ibland hjärnskrynklande perspektiv. Fysikdocent Mathieu Gisselbrecht visar vägen ner i Laserlabbets källarkorridor på Fysicum. I ett par olika rum breder avancerad utru

Lund University has a large and broad range of research infrastructure on offer. Several are world-leading. Unfortunately, however, in many cases the knowledge among researchers of what is on offer is low. “There are many researchers who are unaware of what the University has and what is accessible or how the infrastructure can help their research”, says Kajsa M Paulsson who is infrastructure coor

Climate research in the Arctic is being hit hard as collaboration with Russian researchers is put on ice. “It’s impossible to get an overall picture of the Arctic without looking at Russia. If this becomes permanent, we will be thrown back 20 years,” says Margareta Johansson, who leads the unique research project INTERACT, which incorporates researchers from all eight Arctic countries.

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

New data presented by researchers at Lund University and others in the journal Oceanologia show that the air along the coasts is full of hazardous nanoparticles from sea traffic. Almost half of the measured particles stem from sea traffic emissions, while the rest is deemed to be mainly from cars but also biomass combustion, industries and natural particles from the sea. “This is the first time an

Last year, researchers in Lund, Sweden, launched a ground-breaking theory that Earth was formed by pebbles that were sucked together into a celestial body over millions of years. This explanatory model has now been further supported by a new study which shows that cosmic dust also played a crucial role in the creation of our planet. It has become known as the pebble accretion theory. The radical i
