Minor changes in moisture level can promote lipid molecules to reorganise themselves in biomaterial or biomembranes. This can affect how the skin, lungs and tear film protect us from dehydration. This mechanism was studied in a paper by Nikol Labecka, Emma Sparr and co-workers recently published in PNAS.

Emma Sparr, Lund University, has been awarded the Edlundska Prize 2026. Amount: 345 000 SEK.“for boundary‑crossing research that has provided a mechanistic molecular understanding of membrane permeability. The research has also contributed to insights into disease processes driven by membrane‑mediated protein aggregation.”Read more about Emma Sparr’s Edlundska Prize award (swedish)

Judith has an outstanding research profile in the application and development of small-angle neutron and X-ray scattering methods. Her research spans both fundamental model systems, including microgels, surfactants, and soft colloidal matter, and a remarkably broad range of applied systems, from food science, such as spaghetti, and other complex food matrices, to environmental and biological syste
Karin Schillén defended her PhD in 1994 in Uppsala under Professor Wyn Brown, who was one of the pioneers in light scattering techniques and modeling of scattering data. During her postdoctoral period with Professor Per Claesson at KTH, she broadened her research to include colloidal interactions, and during her continued postdoctoral period with Professor Mitchell Winnik at the University of Toro

What keeps spaghetti from disintegrating in boiling water? The answer, according to new research, is gluten. The amount of salt in the water also has an unexpected significance.Using advanced techniques, researchers examined the internal structure of regular and gluten-free spaghetti – straight off the shelf. The results show that gluten has a crucial role in protecting the structure of pasta duri

Here in the context of a science slam for secondary school students (forskargrandprix.se).The function of skin is one of the many important cases where understanding of biomolecular assembly provides unique insights into biofunction - and thus a great example of how physical chemistry can help to understand complex biological systems!
Solution viscosity is a key quantity for high concentration formulations of monoclonal antibodies suitable for subcutaneous injection. A dramatic increase of the viscosity with increasing antibody concentration is frequently observed, and charge effects are often believed to play a major role in this phenomenon. Unfortunately, our ability to successfully predict this for different antibodies based

The policy lab House Europe! wants to create incentives that make renovation over demolition the new norm. This will boost the renovation market and give new value to what is already there. The goal is to preserve homes and communities, ensure a fairer and more local building industry, save energy and resources, and preserve our memories and stories. Sign, spread and follow. With one million signa

This half-day event will bring together architects, students, and researchers to explore how we can move towards more sustainable building practices while embracing the unique possibilities that new digital tools and methods afford. We will discuss how architecture can go beyond standardisation — by working with local and unprocessed resources, reuse and recycling, and by developing digital approa
