MultiPark leads one of the four projects recently selected by Lund University to pursue emerging research topics. The project eSCIENCE MOVES will apply artificial intelligence and machine learning to achieve new definitions of motor alterations in patients affected by Parkinson´s disease as well as rodent models of human parkinsonian features. Movement is the visible output of neuronal pathways li

The PI retreat in January resulted in a groundbreaking decision: MultiPark’s working groups should be replaced by a more dynamic organization including both "special interest groups” and “task force groups”. Here is what will happen. Discussing the MultiPark seven translational working groups was an important point in the agenda of the PI member retreat in January. Already while planning for the m

Particles, sometimes a long way from one another, can be entangled. This strange phenomenon completely confounds our intuition, but the explanation for it has been provided through quantum mechanics. Researchers at the Department of Physics show in a new study that entanglement can also be created in a new way, with the help of intense light, and that they can change the kinetic energy of electron

Thanks to the Gaia space telescope, scientists have discovered a black hole in the Milky Way. The object, Gaia BH3, is located in the Eagle constellation, less than 2 000 light years from the Sun. Lennart Lindegren, Professor Emeritus of Astronomy at the Department of Physics, who has worked for many years to develop the measurement methods used by Gaia, is delighted with the new space discovery.

Mats Lindroos has suddenly left us. Until recently, he worked at the Department of Physics. We remember him as a passionate, brave and valued colleague. Mats was an adjunct professor at the Division of Particle and Nuclear Physics. His colleagues at the research division miss a valued fellow researcher:"Mats Lindroos, in memoriamIt was with great regret that we learnt of the sudden death of Mats L

How planets form is a question that has long vexed the world's astronomers. In recent years, the so-called pebble theory - where tiny gravel particles are sucked together - has gained ground. A new paper shows that ice plays a crucial role in allowing these celestial bodies to reach a certain size where they can continue to grow to planetary size. Just over 4.6 billion years ago, our planetary sys

For the 73rd time, the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting will be arranged. It takes place 30 June–5 July 2024 in Bayern, Germany, by the beautiful Bodensee. One of the participants this year is Ruby Davtyan, a doctoral student at NanoLund and Solid State Physics. The Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings are internationally renowned conferences, attended annually by about 30–40 Nobel Laureates and some of th

An extraordinary event has taken place this summer in a small, overlooked village north of Uppsala, blending the rich history of Swedish religious movements with cutting-edge quantum research. The village of Mehedeby, home to fewer than 600 residents, recently hosted a remarkable science conference titled "Quantum Redemption" in its 125-year-old Free Church. The conference, organized by Lund Unive

In 2028, the first observations will be made at the world's largest optical telescope being built in Chile. It is now clear that the facility will be equipped with a powerful spectrograph that researchers in Lund will help to develop. The telescope is called the Extremely Large Telescope and is being built by the European Southern Observatory, ESO - an international organisation with 16 member cou

A few sharp minds working together for almost an entire summer. The task: to tackle the problem that a couple of days of work generates so much data, that it would take months to analyse. Synchrotron X-ray diffraction is a technique that allows us to obtain precise and detailed structural information of materials and their properties, and to fundamentally understand physical processes at the atomi

A team of researchers, led from Lund, has discovered a small planet that has a peculiar way of moving in its orbit. The wobbling planet TOI-1408c, located 455 light years from Earth, shows that planetary systems can be far more complex than scientists previously thought. The newly discovered planet has a mass equivalent of eight Earths and orbits very close to a larger planet, the hot gas giant TO
