Solar energy stored in the form of fuel is something scientists hope could partially replace fossil fuels in the future. Researchers may have solved a long-standing problem that has hindered the development of sustainable solar fuels. If solar energy can be used more efficiently using iron-based systems, this could pave the way for cheaper solar fuels. “We can now see previously hidden mechanisms

Work on Lund University’s establishment in Science Village has continued this year, but with a new focus. At the end of 2024, the boards of LTH and the Faculty of Science decided not to proceed with scenario 5 – a co-location of the Department of Physics and the Department of Chemistry in the area – due to cost considerations and the challenges of running education across two sites. The project gr

The 15th International Conference on Nitride Semiconductors (ICNS-15) is just around the corner. Taking place in Malmö, July 6–11, the conference will showcase groundbreaking advancements in materials, physics, optical and electronic devices based on group-III nitride semiconductors. As the call for abstracts deadline for the upcoming conference ICNS-15 approaches, we asked one of the chairs, Vany

Modern computers are a triumph of technology. A single computer chip contains billions of nanometre-scaled transistors that operate extremely reliably and at a rate of millions of operations per second. However, this high speed and reliability come at the cost of significant energy consumption: data centres and household IT appliances like computers and smartphones account for around 3% of global

Linnéa Jönsson and Patrik Nilsson were two of the PhD students who seized the opportunity to have a research visit financed by NanoLund last year. This is a support that NanoLundians – PhD students as well as senior scientists – can apply for at any time. “Do it! You have to take the opportunity to do something like this if you get the chance,” says Linnéa Jönsson. As a researcher at NanoLund, you

Polymer nanowires remain conductive after lithography-free manufacturing enabling an excellent path for intracellular bioelectronic manipulation of stem cells and algae. A new study spearheaded by NanoLundians Damien Hughes and Martin Hjort presents a simple, yet efficient way to bring conductive polymers into a nanowire shape suitable to interface with living cells – and even allowing them to get

The Boards of the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) and the Faculty of Science have decided to aim for a more modest establishment in Science Village, i.e. the area between Max IV and ESS. They justify the decision by the fact that the Departments of Physics and Chemistry would incur high rental costs if both research and education were to move, says Annika Mårtensson, assistant dean for research progr

Dark excitons are material excitations not visible under light illumination. Some acquire intrinsic momentum and become inherently mobile, which can be exploited in charge transport applications. Studying the properties of such excitons via spectroscopy is extremely challenging due to their dark nature. “Although the intrinsic mobility of dark excitons may be suitable for charge transport in futur
