Under våren har en arbetsgrupp arbetat med att ta fram alternativ till ny organisation för fakultetens forskningsinfrastruktur. Kajsa M Paulsson har lett arbetet och berättar mer. Varför vill fakulteten organisera om forskningsinfrastrukturen?– Ett stort antal av fakultetens forskningsinfrastrukturer har uttryckt att de önskar mer dialog med fakultetsledningen och ökade möjligheter till utbyte sin
Trafikverket planerar att helt stänga av väg E22 mellan trafikplats Kronetorp och trafikplats Råby vid Lund Södra under första helgen i augusti 2024. Vägen är avstängd från fredag kväll till måndag morgon. Under avstängningen den första helgen i augusti hänvisas fordonstrafiken till omledningsvägar, se karta. Påfarten till E22 söderut vid Lund Södra samt väg 108 kommer fortsatt vara öppna för traf

“A good way to see the daily life of science.” That is one of the conclusions from the summer scholarship holders from high schools in Skåne – a programme offering teenagers a way to dive into how it is to work with research. “This is a good way to see the daily life of science – how it is to work in a lab, as a fact, not just only seeing a show that is the result of something that has had been pr

“Novel nonlinear optical platforms for advanced materials” – and ”Beyond binary quantum communication”. Those are the two projects that brought associate senior lecturers Anne-Lise Viotti and Armin Tavakoli, both PI:s at NanoLund, to being appointed Research Leaders of the Future by SSF, the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research. For the ninth time, the Foundation for Strategic Research has ap

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

Can innovation strengthen research? Former NanoLun director Heiner Linke, professor of nanophysics and member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, achieved this by combining research and innovation. His own attitude towards utilisation and innovation has evolved from a sense of duty to passion: “Now I think it’s genuinely exciting.” Do you see increasing integration of innovation within resea

By studying how materials build themselves and by mimicking those processes, it is possible to create materials with new structures and properties. This is what Wallenberg Scholar Kimberly Dick Thelander, professor of materials science at Lund University, is doing. At the nano scale, which is measured in billionths of a meter, phenomena occur that do not otherwise exist. Thelander and her colleagu

Physics World reports that Researchers at NanoLund have grown single continuous GaAs nanowires consisting of segments of pure wurtzite and zincblende phases. Using photoluminescence spectroscopy, they found that the spatial confinement along the radius of a nanowire resulted in bending of the band structure of the material.Read the article "Radial band bending at wurtzite–zinc-blende–GaAs interfac

Understanding interface formation between InAs semiconductors and hafnium dioxide insulating layers Most semiconductor devices are still based on silicon, even though other semiconductor materials such as InAs have superior electrical properties. The problem with these materials is that their interface towards thin insulating layers, which are needed for e.g. transistor processing, contains many d
