Andreas Bruzelius, a Ph.D. student at Lund University, defended his PhD thesis on Friday, 20 October 2023. Andreas' research focuses on generating brain cells, specifically interneurons, in the lab, which has significant implications for the study of neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders. Combining cell biology and electrophysiology, his work has the potential to create personalized dis

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. A research team has succeeded in uncovering the fundamental properties of plexcitons, which were previously shrouded in mystery. Now the researchers can show how the plexcitons function and suggest how they could be used in potential applications in the future. A plasmon is a quasiparticle that stems from quantisation

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. By generating 3D images of bumblebees’ compound eyes, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have discovered how bumblebees differ in their vision. The results could contribute to increased knowledge about the pollination process - once researchers are able to determine which flowers different bees see easily, and w

Using micro-engineered soil models, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have investigated the effect of tiny polystyrene particles on bacteria and fungi. While these nanoplastics reduced both bacterial and fungal growth, the fungus actually managed to “clean up” their surroundings, thereby easing the effect of the plastics. “Plastic waste is a huge global problem. Whether carelessly discarded

Geologer har länge hävdat att djurens uppkomst möjliggjordes tack vare en ökande syrehalt i atmosfären, men det är en tes som varit svår att bevisa. Nu har forskare vid Lunds universitet angripit frågan tvärvetenskapligt och lagt fram en ny hypotes om varför djuren lyckades diversifiera för cirka 543 miljoner år sed
