This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Building engines – out of proteins. That’s the aim for a research project, coordinated by Heiner Linke at NanoLund, Lund University in Sweden. The project is now being funded by the European Research Council (ERC) – it received a EUR 10 million ERC Synergy Grant. The 2016 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to resear

The complex challenges in our society require new solutions. We need high-quality, challenge-relevant research brought together in collective efforts over subject and sector boundaries, combined with strong curiosity-driven research. With this need in mind, the Strategic Research Areas (SRAs) were initiated about ten years ago. Lund University has now launched a new strategy for its SRAs. NanoLund

A team of researchers from Lund University has imaged the beam focus at the hard X-ray nanoprobe NanoMAX using a single nanowire as the detector. The result is an unprecedented ultrahigh-resolution 3D image of the 88 nanometer diameter focus revealing fine details of the beam. “A basic way of describing an X-ray exper

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. If silence is golden, speech is silver – and singing the worst. Singing doesn’t need to be silenced, however, but at the moment the wisest thing is to sing with social distancing in place. The advice comes from aerosol researchers Jakob Löndahl and Malin Alsved at Lund University. They have studied the amount of parti

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. By studying cold atoms, researchers have in a unique way been able to observe a precursor to a quantum phase transition, and thereby study physical processes that can be compared to the Higgs mechanism. The discovery can, among other things, provide more knowledge about quantum mechanical processes that are similar to

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 of oscillations in a plasma or a metal particle. An exciton is a bound state of
