Licensing VS Building a startup? Some findings are well suited for a licensing deal while in the majority of cases, the case needs to be further developed before existing companies are interested adopting your findings. Research results are rarely packaged so neatly that a patent can be taken out, licensed, and then it's done. By developing the idea more thoroughly and adding the necessary skills,

Trauma surgeon Dr. Gabriel Börner often saw patients suffer from complications after open abdominal surgery. Inspired by evidence that the small-bites technique could significantly reduce these issues, he founded Suturion in 2018. Now Suturion has entered the first commercial production of SutureTOOL™. Resembling an advanced surgical sewing device, SutureTOOL™ enables surgeons to adopt the recomme

At the Department of Physics, she is Stina Loo, education administrator for first and second cycle programmes. But she can also call herself a linguist, entrepreneur and television personality. And now, with a dream come true: author. The book ‘Hitta din historia – släktforskning för alla’ (Find your story – genealogy for everyone), which Stina wrote together with Ingeborg Arvastsson, will be rele

Welcome back to a new termAfter a quiet August at Fysicum, everyone is back. Lund is once again a lively city, and there are more student activities at Fysicum than just resits. Last week, a mischievous group of students caused a commotion in the office corridor, but we will soon get used to it again. And of course it's nice to have the students back! Some are here for the first time, and the new
Cake and a packed Rydberg Hall set the tone when Fysicum celebrated its 75th anniversary. The Department of Physics invited guests to a party, and the audience was treated to a dizzying journey through history, presented by Professor Erik Swietlicki. When Lund University was founded in 1666, there was no faculty of natural sciences. Instead, physics was part of the faculty of philosophy, and for a

Packed tightly together like sparkling beehives in space. That's what the globular clusters of hundreds of thousands of stars look like. Now, for the first time, a team of researchers can reveal how these ancient and mysterious star systems are actually formed. The existence of these spherical clusters of millions of stars has been known since the invention of the telescope in the 17th century. Th

‘It's about feeling safe.’ That's roughly how the advert broadcast in Denmark during my youth went. I'll avoid mentioning the company behind it, although I agree with the message: we need to feel reasonably safe in order to be creative and dare to look beyond short-term solutions.Security is a broad concept. It can mean not being exposed to violence, threats or unpleasantness in the workplace. It

Recently, a new instrument on the four-metre VISTA telescope at the European Southern Observatory in Chile captured its first starlight. This marks the start of a new era in astronomy, where researchers will map the sky in unprecedented detail. The instrument, called 4MOST (Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope), does not take ordinary images of the night sky. Instead, it collects spectra or colour
