Research at Lund University in Sweden has found a new way to create nano-sized magnetic particles using ultrafast laser light pulses. The discovery could pave the way for new and more energy-efficient technical components and become useful in the quantum computers of the future. Magnetic skyrmions are sometimes described as magnetic vortices. Unlike ferromagnetic states – which occur in convention

Birds fly more efficiently by folding their wings during the upstroke, according to a recent study led by Lund University in Sweden. The results could mean that wing-folding is the next step in increasing the propulsive and aerodynamic efficiency of flapping drones. Even the precursors to birds – extinct bird-like dinosaurs – benefited from folding their wings during the upstroke, as they develope

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. 5G handlar inte bara om snabbare surf. En minst lika stor ”game changer” är att 5G gör mer kommunikation trådlös än idag. Forskaren Emma Fitzgerald listar prylarna som kan kopplas upp - och de tekniska utmaningar som först måste lösas för att förändringen verkligen ska hända. Teknikskiften förändrar samhället, hur v

Three questions for Juanita Francis, who successfully defended her thesis in Pure and Applied Biochemistry at Lund University's Faculty of Engineering (LTH). What inspired you to pursue this research topic, and how has your understanding of it evolved throughout your PhD journey?Well, I can definitely say it’s not because I like spiders! But what they can do, efficiently producing high-performance

In 2028, the first observations will be made at the world's largest optical telescope being built in Chile. It is now clear that the facility will be equipped with a powerful spectrograph that researchers in Lund will help to develop. The telescope is called the Extremely Large Telescope and is being built by the European Southern Observatory, ESO - an international organisation with 16 member cou

Set a goal for your training for one to four months and pay in SEK 1,000. You get your money back if you achieve your goal. Crazy? Perhaps, but in a study by Professor of Economics Erik Wengström and his colleagues, the incentive proved to be quite effective compared with the control groups. “I’ve had a long-standing interest in how people behave in strategic situations and if you look at it from

In March this year, LINXS received a new organisational placement within the Faculty of Science. Rather than being part of the Department of Chemistry, LINXS is now established as a separate unit reporting directly to the Dean. The decision follows a strategic review and an external evaluation of the organisation conducted last year, both of which yielded very positive results.Established in 2017,
