Forskare vid Lunds universitet har lyckats tillverka storskaliga och sfärformade LED-ytor vilket tidigare har varit en teknisk utmaning. Experimentet, som möjliggjordes av en enkel kemisk reaktion, kan bli avgörande för en betydligt billigare produktion av lysdioder. Perovskit är ett medelhårt mineral som upptäcktes i Uralbergen 1839 och tillhör kalciumtitanoxidfamiljen. Vad den tyske mineralogen
Lunds universitet och Lunds kommun arrangerar tillsammans hållbarhetsveckan 17–22 april. Detta är den sjunde hållbarhetsveckan.

In many studies, bariatric surgery has been highlighted as an almost magical method for weight loss and reversing type 2 diabetes. One question that has remained largely unanswered is how the effect of surgery differs from the effects of a strict low-calorie diet. This question has now been examined by researchers at Lund University in Sweden in a study published in the journal Diabetes. By monito

A study published in The Lancet HIV shows that HIV-2 is more pathogenic than previously demonstrated. The new findings indicate that early treatment should be applied to all patients with HIV, not only to those with HIV-1. “The study is unique in that we have followed cohort of study participants frequently over a long period, which enabled us to determine when the patients became infected by HIV,

Livet i staden är hårt – om du är fågelunge påverkas du tydligt av en viss typ av luftförorening, samt av vilka träd som finns i närheten av boet, visar ny forskning från Lund. Bakom studien ligger ett nytt mer detaljerat sätt att undersöka vilka faktorer i urban miljö som ger en effekt på fåglar och djur. Städer är generellt en tuff miljö för fåglar och andra djur att leva i, men varför det är så
Growing up in Saddam Hussein’s Iraq, he knew that one wrong word could get you killed; as a forced recruit, he came close to death many times. But after three Master’s degrees, Dara Maghdid has earned a PhD with his investigation of cultural differences in the teaching of mathematics. Now he wants to thank Lund University. In the future, motivation among students of mathematics could increase – in

Food researchers at Lund University in Sweden have discovered that consuming small amounts of chromium mixed with certain amino acids before eating is healthy. Why? Well, this mixture diluted in water suppresses the blood sugar spike that occurs when we eat. Now, they are hoping that the drink – which tastes like ordinary mineral water – will be able to compete with soft drinks and flavoured water

Researchers at Lund University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States have developed a method to analyse and separate cells from the blood. Ultimately, the method, which goes under the name iso-acoustic focusing, can become significant to measure the efficiency of cancer treatments for individuals. In brief, the new method involves exposing cells to ultrasound when they
