A research team has succeeded in uncovering the fundamental properties of plexcitons, which were previously shrouded in mystery. Now the researchers can show how the plexcitons function and suggest how they could be used in potential applications in the future. A plasmon is a quasiparticle that stems from quantisation

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The ability of global ecosystems to absorb carbon dioxide is regulated to a large extent by the nutrients nitrogen and phosphorus. With lower plant access to these nutrients, greater volumes of carbon dioxide stays in the atmosphere, instead of being absorbed by forests and other ecosystems. A new study has now charte

Thanks to the Gaia space telescope, scientists have discovered a black hole in the Milky Way. The object, Gaia BH3, is located in the Eagle constellation, less than 2 000 light years from the Sun. Lennart Lindegren, Professor Emeritus of Astronomy at the Department of Physics, who has worked for many years to develop the measurement methods used by Gaia, is delighted with the new space discovery.

NEW THESIS ON ULTRA-FAST PHYSICS: By firing a short laser pulse at an atom, an electron can be ejected from its previous context. What happens to it, where does it go? In his thesis, Hugo Laurell develops a method to study ejected electrons and their behaviour. His work may have implications for the development of new materials and for photochemistry. Hi Hugo, you will defend your thesis soon, wha

Researchers from Lund University in Sweden collected wild flatworms from Malmö’s largest park, Pildammsparken. These creatures are masters at regenerating after injury. Now, for the first time, the worms’ unique ability to regenerate has been harnessed to help accelerate wound healing in human skin models. A research team at Lund University was recently contacted by researchers at a Korean skincar

Our brains are "programmed" to learn more from people we like – and less from those we dislike. This has been shown by researchers in cognitive neuroscience in a series of experiments. Memory serves a vital function, enabling us to learn from new experiences and update existing knowledge. We learn both from individual experiences and from connecting them to draw new conclusions about the world. Th
