This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Researchers have now succeeded in formulating a mathematical result that provides an exact answer to the question of how chaos actually behaves. The researchers have analysed chaotic states at the atomic level. What does chaos look like in the smallest of worlds that we can imagine – inside atoms? The world in there b

Lund University is hiring 45 new assistant professors and visiting professors this spring. The initiative, which involves just over SEK 30 million in university-wide funding, represents a significant boost to operations – not least at the Faculty of Social Sciences, which is welcoming nine of the new recruits. The number of applications for Lund University’s international recruitment drive was hig

Research at Lund University in Sweden has found a new way to create nano-sized magnetic particles using ultrafast laser light pulses. The discovery could pave the way for new and more energy-efficient technical components and become useful in the quantum computers of the future. Magnetic skyrmions are sometimes described as magnetic vortices. Unlike ferromagnetic states - which occur in convention

A large number of road construction projects are underway in and around Lund, affecting commuters’ ability to reach their workplaces. More disruptions are expected in spring 2026 when the Swedish Transport Administration begins work on the E22 between the Gastelyckan and Lund North interchanges. Roadworks present challenges but also opportunities to be inspired to find alternatives to driving. The

The Central Administration’s aim is to offer the best possible support for the University’s operations. In order to do this, we need to continuously review the organisation and working methods so that optimum support is provided while balancing the budget. Based on this, a number of changes are being made. One example is that the major part of the support relating to contract education will be mov

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Is there any underlying biological explanation for why men are responsible for such a large proportion of sexual assaults compared to women? Or, from a biological point of view, could women just as easily have been the ones to commit this type of harassment and assault, if the social and historical power structure wer

Transistors that can change properties are important elements in the development of tomorrow’s semiconductors. With standard transistors approaching the limit for how small they can be, having more functions on the same number of units becomes increasingly important in enabling the development of small, energy-efficient circuits for improved memory and more powerful computers. Researchers at Lund
