For the first time, scientists have been able to measure the quantum state of electrons ejected from atoms that have absorbed high-energy light pulses. This is thanks to a new measurement technique developed by researchers at Lund University. This could provide a better understanding of fundamental research in the second generation of quantum revolution. When high-energy light with a very short wa

Using the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope in Chile, astronomers have made detailed observations of the mysterious exoplanet WASP-121 b. The discoveries of the element titanium and jet streams challenge our understanding of the winds and chemistry found on ultrahot planets. Just over 5,800 exoplanets – planets that orbit stars other than our Sun – have been discovered since the

Superconductors are materials that can conduct electricity without resistance and are used in electromagnets, antennas and power lines. Researchers have now studied a multifaceted superconductor that exhibits a so-called vortex lattice when exposed to a magnetic field. The discovery could revolutionise technological development. Smart superconductors are predicted to fundamentally change our every

En kurs i Canvas är aldrig bättre än sin struktur. En kurs i Canvas som saknar struktur blir lätt en kurs som studenterna upplever svår. Björn Fritz, studierektor på Institutionen för kulturvetenskaper och dessutom Canvas-koordinator berättar nedan om sina tankar kring kursstruktur:  Hur ser en bra kurs ut? Under det gångna årets arbete med canvas har det gjorts många bra kurser vid Lunds universi

Att det är en konst att skriva bra flervalsfrågor är det nog många lärare som håller med om. Flervalsfrågor, på engelska kallade Multiple Choice Questions eller MCQ, är så kallade stängda frågor, där den som svarar får välja bland ett antal givna svarsalternativ istället för att själv formulera ett svar.
