En utmaning med transplantation är biverkningar av immundämpande läkemedel. För att slippa detta och minska risken för celldöd prövas nu en ny metod på Akademiska sjukhuset där insulinproducerande ö-celler

How do some planets end up extremely close to their host stars, despite appearing to have formed much farther away? A new international JWST study, led by the University of Southern Queensland in collaboration with MIT, seeks to answer this question. From Lund University, Judith Korth contributed key dynamical analysis. The study focuses on TOI‑1130b, a mini‑Neptune orbiting a star about 190 light

Magnetic fields are not a phenomenon confined to our Solar System. A recent study shows that distant exoplanets carry clear signatures of magnetism – something that had not previously been known. The findings open up new ways to study alien worlds and identify potentially habitable planets. The Universe is full of strange planets. Among the most puzzling are the so-called “ultra-hot Jupiters” – en

The strange space object ‘Oumuamua took the scientific community by storm nine years ago. In the wake of its passage close to our planet, many questions have been raised. Recently, an international initiative was launched to search for more visitors from other solar systems. One night in October 2017, a telescope in Hawaii is carrying out its routine task of scanning the night sky. The following d

The most advanced engines are not found in airplanes, cars or other machines - they are found in nature. Inside our cells, tiny protein motors power everything from cell division to muscle movement with an efficiency and precision that has fascinated researchers for decades and inspired long-standing efforts to replicate them. Now, scientists have taken an important first step. An international re

Researchers at Lund University are playing a central role in the international effort behind ESA’s new telescope, ARRAKIHS. The telescope will help scientists search for answers to how galaxies form and to the mysteries surrounding the Universe’s elusive dark matter. The European Space Agency (ESA) has now given the green light for the final phase of the ARRAKIHS project, a telescope scheduled to

In a recent article, Harald Havir et al. present a method for rapid and efficient detection of electrical charge in quantum systems using a nonlinear resonator that amplifies the signal without matching the sensor’s dissipation conditions. Thereby, they overcome previous limitations and make it applicable to various oscillating systems. In a recent article, Harald Havir et al. present a method for

Astronomers at Lund University have found evidence of exocomets, comets in other solar systems, around a young star resembling our Sun. The observations point to a possible mechanism by which water can be transported from the cold outer regions of a planetary system to the areas where planets form. The planetary system PDS 70 is just over five million years old and lies around 370 light-years from

With support from a €1.9 million ERC Starting Grant, Lund University researcher Kim Cuong Le will develop new laser- and X-ray-based methods to study how soot forms, evolves in the atmosphere and affects climate. Soot is one of the most harmful air pollutants. Produced by incomplete combustion from sources such as transport, biomass burning and waste incineration, it poses risks to both human heal

Researchers at the Division of Solid State Physics and NanoLund at LTH have developed a new type of light-emitting diode (LED) built from branched nanostructures. The technology could pave the way for LEDs that are both more energy efficient and less costly to manufacture than those available today. By controlling exactly where light is produced within the structure, the team has reduced the losse

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
