NanoLund’s affiliated member Pablo Villanueva Perez from Synchrotron Radiation Physics has been awarded an ERC Starting Grant for the project Probing MHz processes in 3D with X-ray microscopy. The ERC project aims to develop a novel X-ray microscope capable of filming processes in 3D, at least 100 times faster than up-to-date 3D X-ray imaging techniques. Today, this is done with microtomography (μ

How come bees always find their way home, not to mention in a straight line? What is it about the insect brain that allows them to navigate so easily? Could we copy that function? A step in this direction has now been taken by a group of scientists in a project combining the fields of biology, physics, nanoscience and informatics. At first, the line looks like a jumble. It makes turns in all direc

An international team of researchers – consisting of no less than four from NanoLund – have used nano focused X-rays at the NanoMAX beamline to image the complex structure of metal halide perovskite nanowires. The high-resolution imaging made it possible to see domains inside the nanowire, as the temperature was increased across a structural phase transition. The structure of perovskite materials
