Sweden’s Innovation Agency, Vinnova, will invest in 11 new competence centers starting in January 2024. Among the new ones, two are directly connected to NanoLund – adding up to the already existing center C3NiT. New research environments for sustainable and digital transformation are emerging. In the competence centers, universities and companies will jointly conduct excellent research and educat

Lung exposure to nanowires induces an inflammatory response and allergic response when tested on mice. “This emphasizes how important it is that we continue to take nanosafety into account”, says Professor Christelle Prinz, one of the researchers behind the study. In a collaboration with the National Research Center for the Working Environment in Copenhagen, led by Ulla Vogel, and the Finnish Inst

“Twisted or planar?” is the question that our brand new NanoLundian, Assistant Professor Maning Liu, and his colleagues explore in their new article. The Wallenberg Initiative Materials Science for Sustainability, WISE, thereby celebrates its very first scientific publication – making it to the cover of Solar RRL. The current energy crisis underlines the urgent need to develop robust energy system

If we can understand how and why light and matter behave as they do, we are one step closer to solving some of the most fundamental problems in physics. Finding the answers to these questions drives Ville Maisi, Associate Professor of Solid States Physics at NanoLund. As long as he can remember he has been interested in electric circuits and physics. With the support of a new ERC Consolidator Gran

WISE (Wallenberg Initiative Materials Science for Sustainability) has opened two calls for the development of graduate courses and summer schools in 2024 with relevance to materials science for sustainability. The call for WISE Summer School 2024 aims to support the organisation of a one-week summer school. The summer school must be able to accommodate a minimum of 50 WISE graduate school members

Metal patterns printed on a III-V semiconductor material can control the appearance and positions of droplets arising on its surface when heated. The result is a significant step forward for controlled device fabrication on a chip. Semiconductor materials are used in electronic devices because of their unique electrical properties. III-V semiconductor materials consist of elements from the third a

Researchers at Lund University, together with colleagues at the NIST Synchrotron Facility in the USA, have mapped on an atomic level what happens in a virus particle when the temperature is raised. “When the temperature rises, the virus’s genetic material changes its form and density, becoming more fluid-like, which leads to its rapid injection into the cell,” says Alex Evilevitch who led the stud

Using micro-engineered soil models, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have investigated the effect of tiny polystyrene particles on bacteria and fungi. While these nanoplastics reduced both bacterial and fungal growth, the fungus actually managed to “clean up” their surroundings, thereby easing the effect of the plastics. “Plastic waste is a huge global problem.

First, they discovered how DNA can move in wavelike patterns on the millimeter scale in microfluidics devices – now they also have found a way of controlling the behaviour. Four researchers connected to NanoLund have presented results that may be useful in several ways: to enhance or suppress the mixing of microfluidics, relevant for medicine and food industry as well as water treatment.
