A new method that slowly releases drugs locally in the brain has been developed by researchers at Lund University in Sweden. The drug is encapsulated in nanoparticles and delivered to the brain tissue via flexible electrodes. The method has been tested on mice and published in the Journal of Nanobiotechnology among others – and was recently presented in a doctoral thesis. The brain is both our mos

If silence is golden, speech is silver – and singing the worst. Singing doesn’t need to be silenced, however, but at the moment the wisest thing is to sing with social distancing in place. The advice comes from aerosol researchers Jakob Löndahl and Malin Alsved at Lund University. They have studied the amount of particles we actually emit when we sing – and by extension – if we contribute to the i

By studying cold atoms, researchers have in a unique way been able to observe a precursor to a quantum phase transition, and thereby study physical processes that can be compared to the Higgs mechanism. The discovery can, among other things, provide more knowledge about quantum mechanical processes that are similar to the processes in which matter changes its state from gas, liquid, or solid form

As odd as it sounds, many scientists have attempted to place extremely small diamonds inside living cells. Why? Because nanodiamonds are consistently bright and can give us unique knowledge about the inner life of cells over a long time. Now physics researchers Elke Hebisch and Christelle Prinz from the strategic research area NanoLund have succeeded in injecting a large number of nanodiamonds dir

We are facing new challenges, and consequently we need the development of electronics to continue. But the question is: how do we do that? Mattias Borg, co-coordinator of Exploratory Nanotechnology, explains how. The basis of the electronics we use today, such as home computers and mobile phones, was invented more than 50 years ago. And in recent years its development has begun to stall. According

A research team has succeeded in uncovering the fundamental properties of plexcitons, which were previously shrouded in mystery. Now the researchers can show how the plexcitons function and suggest how they could be used in potential applications in the future. A plasmon is a quasiparticle that stems from quantisation of oscillations in a plasma or a metal particle. An exciton is a bound state of
