Quantum. The word is appearing more and more frequently in discussions about future technologies, security, medicine and computing. At the same time, the field is often perceived as both abstract and difficult to understand. But what exactly is quantum physics, and why is there so much interest in it right now? “Quantum physics was developed to describe the very smallest building blocks of the uni

The annual summer scholarship for high school students in Skåne is a programme that offers teenagers a chance to dive into what it is like to work in research. This year, students from Hässleholm, Helsingborg, and Malmö got the opportunity to have a closer look at science. After a thorough safety introduction, the schedule was packed with nanowire-based solar cells for space applications, fluoresc

PhD student William Samuelson et al have developed a theoretical framework showing how Majorana bound states can remain robust even in strongly interacting quantum systems. In a recent article published in PRX Quantum, the authors connect the locality of Majorana states to their protection against environmental disturbances, an important step toward understanding how topological approaches could s

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. Fast and reliable detection is essential for probing quantum

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 r

AI requires ever-larger data centres and ever more power. Now, researchers have developed an artificial neuron that operates using light and brings together several of the brain’s most important functions in a single component. The technology could eventually pave the way for more energy-efficient AI and intelligent sensors. Training today’s largest AI models requires enormous data centres filled

How blood-clotting proteins arrange themselves at fluid interfaces may be more complex than previously thought. New research presented by Glenn Coope et al., using neutron reflectometry and complementary techniques, shows that fibrinogen does not simply tilt into a single layer, as previously believed, but instead forms multiple, distinct layers – a discovery with implications for wound healing, l

Yue Zhao, Haonan Chen and Magnus Borgström at NanoLund have developed a new type of light-emitting diode based on thin branched nanowires, which could offer significantly higher efficiency and lower production costs than current technology. By controlling where in the structure the light is generated, the researchers have reduced the losses that would otherwise limit the amount of light that can b

Backed by an initial public offering (IPO) and a Vinnova grant the NanoLund spin-off company NordAmps is now gathering resources to take its technology to market. NordAmps addresses the growing demand for faster and more energy-efficient data transmission in areas such as telecommunications, satellite communications, advanced sensor systems, and defence electronics. NordAmps AB was founded a decad

NanoLundians were all over the Department of Physics during the Culture Night (Kulturnatten) – an event during which establishments throughout the city of Lund open their doors to the public. Our pride knew no bounds when our newest PhD, Patrik Nilsson, took home the victory at the Science Slam. During Kulturnatten, visitors to the Department of Physics explored a wide range of physical phenomena.

Quantum technology is high on the agenda, with research underway in several areas across Lund University. The university is now bringing its quantum researchers together in a new centre based at the Faculty of Engineering. The centre aims to strengthen collaboration in quantum science, raise the visibility of research in the field, and create better conditions for new ideas to emerge. Quantum rese

Vårt minne registrerar detaljer och upptäcker mönster i vardagen – ofta utan att vi tänker på det. Forskare vid Lunds universitet har för första gången lyckats visa att hjärnan i realtid gör båda sakerna samtidigt. För att undersöka detta användes vardagliga situationer från datorspelet The Sims för att förstå hur vi tar in information i verkliga livet. Vi förlitar oss på minnet varje dag. För att

Var tredje av Sveriges 18 800 familjehemsplacerade barn tvingas flytta oväntat när en placering bryts. En ny intervjustudie från Lunds universitet visar hur barn själva upplever dessa plötsliga uppbrott – och vad som kan hjälpa dem att läka, återfå trygghet och gå vidare. ”Jag behöver orka med känslan av att jag är som en loppisdocka som byts till olika ställen. Orka leva med den känslan. Orka fly

Det närmar sig vår sista disputation innan sommarledigheten. Det är Gizems Hans tur att försvara sin avhandling som bär titeln Nature and Functions of Scripted Attachment Knowledge: Assessment, Cognitive Processes, and Neural Correlates. Avhandlingen handlar om hur våra tidiga relationer – särskilt till föräldrar eller andra omsorgspersoner – formar de inre “manus” som styr hur vi förväntar oss st

Personlighet och sociala relationer har större betydelse för välbefinnandet än faktorer som inkomst. Detta visar ny stor studie om svenskars välbefinnande. Resultaten bekräftar också att det finns en tydlig generationsskillnad, där yngre vuxna tydligt rapporterar lägre välbefinnande än äldre – ett skifte som började under pandemin. Forskarna har analyserat svar från över 34 000 representativa sven

Klimatpolitiska rådet släppte den 21 mars 2026 sin årsrapport. Rapporten är en genomlysning av klimatpolitiken under regeringens hela senaste mandatperioden. Den slår fast att Sverige inte är på väg att nå klimatmålen till 2030 och 2040, att gapet till målen har ökat, och att nödvändiga beslut har skjutits på framtiden. Rådet betonar att kraftfulla åtgärder brådskar, och riktar sina rekommendation

Svenska urskogar lagrar 83 procent mer kol än brukade skogar, visar en ny studie från Lunds universitet. Skillnaden är betydligt större än tidigare uppskattningar och beror främst på stora kollager i marken. Studien, som publiceras i den vetenskapliga tidskriften Science, är den hittills mest omfattande kartläggningen av hur mycket kol som lagras i svenska urskogar. Resultaten visar att urskogar l
