A long-standing bottleneck in technology development has been how to make processors and memories work faster together. Now, researchers in Lund have presented a new solution in which a memory cell is integrated with the processor, so that calculations can be performed much faster as they take place inside the memory circuit itself. In an article in Nature Electronics, the researchers describe the

In order to reprogram readily available cells into specific immune cells that fight various diseases, one must know the “recipe” for the transformation. Researchers at Lund University have now created a library of the 400 factors needed for reprogramming and have begun the work of finding the right combination – the recipe – for each type of immune cell. Our immune system consists of different typ
