Delving into the realm where light and matter converge, Mattias Bertolino's embarks on a theoretical exploration of photoionization. Focusing on multiphoton ionization of noble gas atoms, using a mixture of extreme-ultraviolet and infrared light, he explores the intricate interplay between light and matter. He aims to improve our understanding of the fundamental interactions between light and matt

However, two safety challenges which need to be solved along the way, and which are different for ships compared to cars, are navigation without GPS and remote control. In his research, Mårten Lager has developed use

They become smaller as urbanisation increases. Troublesome, according to researcher Helena Hanson, because urban private gardens affect both cities’ biodiversity and human wellbeing by functioning as social green spaces. Now she strikes a blow for gardens in the urban planning. Green spaces, such as parks and allotment gardens, have a major impact on our physical and mental health and wellbeing –

To share experiences and improve teaching, LUCA organises the annual LU Case Day conference, where teachers gather to exchange ideas and find inspiration. The Lund University Case Academy (LUCA) was founded in 2012 by faculty members at Lund University as a cross-faculty network to promote case-based and student-centered learning. This year’s event was held in April at the Lund University School o

The Nomination Committee has proposed that, from the turn of the year, LTH should be led for three years by Margaret McNamee and Ulf Ellervik. Working together and deciding who should do what was uncontroversial, say the candidates for the positions of Dean and Deputy Dean of LTH. In the almost fully seated IKDC lecture hall, LTH students and staff had gathered to listen to the Nomination Committe

Can you tell me a little about your research area?I research diseases and conditions of the hip joint that affect children but can also cause pain and osteoarthritis in adulthood. One example is hip dysplasia, where the acetabulum does not sufficiently cover the femoral head. Hip dysplasia occurs in 0.5-1% of newborns in Sweden and is almost always detected at the maternity ward. When diagnosed ea

For the first time, researchers have been able to measure the quantum state of electrons ejected from atoms that have absorbed high-energy light pulses. This is thanks to a new measurement technique developed by researchers at Lund University in Sweden. The results can provide a better understanding of the interaction between light and matter. When high-energy light with a very short frequency in

Researchers at Lund University and DTU in Copenhagen have discovered enzymes in the colon that, when mixed with red blood cells, can cut away parts of the carbohydrates that separate our ABO blood groups from each other. The method brings us closer to the dream of a universal blood for everyone. It has long been known that blood from different individuals cannot be mixed randomly without the risk

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have used virtual reality and 3D eye-tracking technology to examine what drew the attention of the visitors when entering the stunning environment of an ancient Roman house. The team recreated the House of Greek Epigrams in 3D and tracked the gaze of study participants as they viewed the home. Unlike today, Roman houses were not a place of refuge from work.
