Mathematical model useful in pandemic planning

Using a mathematical model, researchers have been able to link confirmed covid-19 cases with intensive care admissions and deaths. The model, which allows prediction and planning of health care burden, could be valuable during the current pandemic as well as in future epidemics. A Swedish research team, including Lund University, has used a so-called FIR model (a type of filter for digital systems

Researchers create exotic magnetic structures with laser light

Research at Lund University in Sweden has found a new way to create nano-sized magnetic particles using ultrafast laser light pulses. The discovery could pave the way for new and more energy-efficient technical components and become useful in the quantum computers of the future. Magnetic skyrmions are sometimes described as magnetic vortices. Unlike ferromagnetic states - which occur in convention

Digital open-book exam - an option for covid spring?

Photo by Markus Spiske on Unsplash Covid-19 has forced us to find alternatives to our traditional exam methods, alternatives that work digitally and on remote. The most common ways to deal with this have been to try to squeeze the traditional methods into a digital format, reduce the time available and add remote “surveillance” of the students. These alternatives have worked fairly well (check her
