Lars-Erik Wernersson, professor of nanoelectronics, has received an ERC Advanced Grant for the integration of new materials into the high-performance, energy-efficient transistors and circuit solutions of the future. Silicon is the current material of choice for most transistors and other components. The problem is that in certain cases these parts consume a lot of energy and get hot, which can le

Many of us have digital maps at our fingertips in our smartphones, but these maps are not adapted to guide us when walking or finding our way in new environments, for example, as tourists in an unfamiliar big city. Creating such maps requires in-depth knowledge about map design which can be further improved by using new technology that can process large amounts of data. “We are collaborating with

The new excavations in Uppåkra are at the forefront of cutting edge archaeological techniques. By combining big data, data modelling and DNA sequencing, researchers are currently solving significant parts of a historical puzzle. Perhaps we will learn whether the Justinianic Plague, the forerunner of the Black Death, reached Uppåkra. Until now, this has been uncertain. Torbjörn Ahlström, profes

We were all small, newborn infants once. But some of us were perhaps too small as newborns? A child that is born “small for gestational age” means that they have not grown according to their normal curve during the foetal period. By studying the group of small newborns in epidemiological, or register, studies, researchers follow what happens to these infants later in life. This knowledge is of gre

Efforts to understand whether someone is lying often focus on how the person talks. New research suggests it could be promising to also examine how someone writes. This is according to Kajsa Gullberg, researcher in general linguistics, who hopes that her thesis can provide insights into people’s complex language skills.
