Tusentals människor i Sverige har fått ett mikrochip inopererat som fungerar som ett kontaktlöst kreditkort, passerkort och även tågkort. Med chipet under huden finns det inte längre anledning att oroa sig för att tappa kortet eller att bära på en tung plånbok. Men för många människor är tanken på att ha ett mikroch

Behovet av energilagring växer i takt med att andelen oplanerbar el från vind- och solkraft växer. Forskare har börjat inse att vanliga metaller, såsom järn och aluminium, fungerar alldeles utmärkt att förbränna för att göra el och värme av. Med hjälp av sol- eller vindenergi kan det oxiderade pulvret sedan bli vanlig metall igen. Enligt forskarna är processen säker, billig och fossilfri. De hoppa

Att leva i ett samhälle med rent vatten och fungerande avloppssystem är grundläggande för människans goda hälsa. I Kazakstan i Centralasien kan man inte räkna med säker vattenförsörjning och många riskerar att få allvarliga infektionssjukdomar. Men nu vill landet fokusera på att förbättra befolkningens hälsa och man vänder sig till Lunds universitet för hjälp. Ungefär 2,1 miljarder människor på jo

Sameh Egyptsons avhandling är en av de mest uppmärksammade – och kritiserade – som lagts fram i Lund på många år. Från början ett slags fredsprojekt för att främja dialog och samtal mellan teologer inom islam och kristendom har hans forskning tjugo år senare landat i en mer än 740 sidor tjock skrift om politisk islam och dess inflytande och påverkan på Sverige. Det har skrivits spaltmeter efter di

Researchers at Lund University have produced the most detailed map of carbon emissions from Swedish forest fires to date. The results show that the largest emissions occur below the ground surface, in peat and organic soils. During the extremely hot summer of 2018, 324 forest fires were reported in Sweden. Using field measurements, models, and data from the Swedish Forest Agency, the Swedish Envir

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
