How do you challenge the struggles with your PhD? How do you explain nanoscience to pupils in elementary school? And how do you maintain the balance between science and social activities? These are topics discussed in a podcast where Areej Al-Sabban from Lund University Global Engagement talks to Adam Burke, Patrik Nilsson, and Pratik Bhagwat. In a recent podcast made by Areej Al-Sabban from Lund

This year we are organising support activities on how to write a competitive proposal for an ERC grant. And we are happy to see so many taking part in the first workshop with a deep-dive into the finer points of how to effectively present and position yourself as the PI of a high-impact research grant. Researchers from NanoLund are welcome to participate in support activities on how to write a com

Think of the proteins in your brain as delicate pieces of origami. A new study from the Medical Microspectroscopy group at Lund University reveals that polystyrene nanoplastics, commonly found in everyday items like food packaging, act like “clumsy hands” that force these proteins to fold incorrectly. Lead author Iran Augusto Neves da Silva used advanced label-free optical photothermal infrared (O

The Swedish Research Council has recently recommended that the government establish new strategic research areas. In two of them, researchers within NanoLund play key roles: Quantum technologies and Advanced materials. These are two fields that are crucial for the future energy transition, digitalisation, and technological development. Strategic Research Area Advanced MaterialsWithin the research

More than half a billion people are affected by type 2 diabetes – and the number is growing. In a recent publication in the journal Small, researchers explain how nanoelectroporation can be used to deliver molecules that can affect insulin expression through epigenetic means, potentially leading to new treatments. Genetics cannot explain type 2 diabetes, and epigenetics (i.e. chemical modification
