Site-selected crystal material synthesis at the atomic scale has been a long-standing challenge. NanoLundians Rainer Timm and Yi Liu use nanowire crystal phase heterostructures as templates for self-selective growth of one- and two-dimensional GaBi nanostructures, which allows a versatile design with atomic-scale precision. Scaling down material synthesis to crystalline structures only a few atoms

In this article published in Sydsvenskan, CMES scholars Sarah Anne Rennick and Dalia Abdelhady argue that the political mobilization of Middle Eastern migrants in European states represents a unique opportunity to revitalize our own democratic practices. Read the article in Swedish in Sydsvenskan Last decade, pinpointing political mobilization in the Middle East was a straightforward affair. At pr

A lab where you can “craft” new materials on the atomic level, bringing together cross-disciplinary scientists to produce nanomaterials and semiconductor components. A neighborhood with major research infrastructures, complementary to each other. And most important: an open environment where academia, industry, and society can meet and collaborate, finding solutions for a sustainable world. Intrig

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The coronavirus pandemic has not put Lund University in any financial difficulty. There is money in the University's coffers, assures the head of planning Tim Ekberg. The agency capital currently amounts to SEK 1.7 billion. "It is money that could be useful to support affected areas of activity", he comments. The agen

For the first time, scientists have been able to measure the quantum state of electrons ejected from atoms that have absorbed high-energy light pulses. This is thanks to a new measurement technique developed by researchers at Lund University. This could provide a better understanding of fundamental research in the second generation of quantum revolution. When high-energy light with a very short wa

For many cancer patients, successful treatment depends on whether the disease is detected early or responds to existing therapies. With new grants from the Swedish Cancer Society (Cancerfonden), three postdoctoral researchers at Lund University’s Lund Stem Cell Center will investigate new drivers of cancer development and how the immune system can be more effectively mobilised against tumors. In M

Interview with CMES researchers Nina Gren and Svante Lundgren about suspected war crimes in Israel and Palestine. The original article, in Swedish, was published on 7 November 2023 as part of the LU Newsletter Apropå. In the long-running conflict in Israel and Palestine, it is the innocent civilians who pay the highest price. No matter what the other side has done, international humanitarian law m

Inför riksdagsvalet 2022 flyttade en del av den politiska diskussionen till TikTok. Att vi diskuterar svensk politik på en Kinaägd plattform där snabba klipp som tangerar primära känslor premieras av algoritmerna har förfärat många. Men formen är varken farlig eller särskilt ny - utan användes redan i antikens Grekland. Det säger kommunikationsforskaren Nils Gustafsson. Medieakademins årliga kartl

Inom diabetesforskningen screenas personer som är i riskzonen för att utveckla typ 1-diabetes. Dagens metod innebär att det tas flera blodprov vid varje besök. Ett internationellt forskarlag har nu upptäckt att det går att följa upp risken för sjukdom med ett enkelt stick i fingret. Både barn och vuxna kan få typ 1-diabetes, som kräver behandling med insulin hela livet. Symtomen kan utvecklas unde

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. En stor studie bekräftar att mängden gluten sannolikt inverkar på risken att utveckla celiaki. I den nya långtidsstudien från Lunds universitet ingår barn från flera länder. Studien är av observationstyp och påvisar därför inte orsakssamband, men den är den hittills mest omfattande i sitt slag. Resultaten presentera

Riksbanken rekordhöjer räntan – energipriserna skjuter i höjden. Hur påverkar bistrare ekonomiska tider hur vi klär oss? Historiskt sett har recession inte inneburit att vi slutat klä oss elegant. Däremot har vi återanvänt kostsamma festkläder och istället köpt enskilda lyxprodukter. Och kortare kjolar i tider av lågkonjunktur är en myt. – I knappa tider tenderar vi att konsumera det som inte gräv

The Planetary Health Diet. That's the diet that will keep us healthy and put food on the table for a future world population of 10 billion. But will it reduce strokes, premature deaths and greenhouse gas emissions? To find out, Agenda 2030 PhD student Anna Stubbendorff compared different dietary indices. Her own index came out on top, and the results are now published in the prestigious Lancet Pla
