Hat and Ring for 75 New LTH doctors
The last Friday in May traditionally marks the doctoral conferment ceremony in Lund. In 2024, a record number of 266 doctors will be conferred. LTH will confer degrees to 75 doctors who have successfully defended their doctoral theses, three honorary doctors, and eleven jubilee doctors during a solemn and ancient ceremony in Lund Cathedral. Lund [...]
Congratulations on your Graduation!
On Friday, May 24th, a record number of graduates will receive their diplomas from the Dean's hand at LTH's formal graduation ceremony in the auditorium of the main university building. The keynote address will be delivered by Nobel Laureate Anne L’Huillier. During the ceremony, which will be broadcast live on the web, scholarships from the [...]
The internal combustion engine will remain important
The internal combustion engine is a subject that has been described as nasty and outdated. In fact, it is not outdated at all – but an area of cutting-edge research that is an important part of a sustainable energy transition.
New key to the world of quantum mechanics: the intensity of light affects electrons’ kinetic energy
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 Lund University’s Faculty of Engineering (LTH) show in a new study that entanglement can also be created in a new way, with the help of [...]
Sustainability Week: LTH discusses solutions to the climate crisis
Reindustrialisation, coastal perspectives, circular construction and carbon capture. The topics addressed by LTH during Sustainability Week 8–13 April include solutions to the climate crisis and how to use the Earth’s resources more carefully. The programme is aimed at everyone who wants to take part in the discussions on the sustainable strategies [...]
LTH’s Wallenberg Scholars are announced
Five researchers at LTH have been appointed Wallenberg Scholars, a programme funded by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation that supports excellent basic research, primarily in medicine, technology and the natural sciences.
Teachers at LTH are getting better and better
Teaching staff at the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) are getting better and better every year. From a unique set of statistics based on 300,000 questionnaires, it can be concluded that teaching has been systematically improved over the last 20 years. An important part of the explanation is a system that gives good teaching staff a higher salary, [...]
Strengthening Swedish semiconductor capability
Semiconductors – the “brains” behind electronic products and systems. Whether mobile phones, automotive, energy, home appliances, or artificial intelligence, these components (“chips”) play a key role. At the same time, Asian countries account for more than half of the world’s semiconductor chip production. Swedish semiconductor capability is now [...]
Completely recycled viscose for the first time
At present, viscose textiles are made of biomass from the forest, and there is no such thing as fully recycled viscose. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have now succeeded in making new viscose – from worn-out cotton sheets.
Unique manufacturing method produces more appealing vegan meat
Vegan food is often sidestepped due to its rubbery consistency. Food technology researchers at Lund University in Sweden have now developed a way to make vegan food more appetising by using new combinations of raw materials. So far, the research field for plant-based meat imitations, known as meat analogues, has been very small - but is now set to [...]
Energy efficiency key for future 6G technology
Everyone is familiar with the frustration that comes when otherwise excellent mobile phone reception suddenly drops out. The moment when all mobile communication becomes impossible. But why does this happen and what is really behind the numbers 3G, 4G, 5G, and the 6G to come?
Is carbon capture stored in basalt the climate savior of the future or not?
Léa Lévy, researcher in engineering geology, is receiving SEK 5.1 million from the Marianne and Marcus Wallenberg Foundation to investigate how much hope can be placed in capturing carbon dioxide directly from the air and storing it in the rock basalt.
“Challenging design conventions is a key to more vibrant design”
Bling is associated with expensive, ostentatious accessories and “bad taste”. This contrasts with the prevailing aesthetic values of the design world. But what happens when bling and design are brought together? A new thesis in industrial design from the Faculty of Engineering (LTH), Lund University in Sweden, shows that provocations – such as [...]
Students developed four new food products from food waste
Every year, a number of Master’s students in food technology are given an assignment to develop proposals for new food products made from leftovers generated by the food industry. This year’s student groups presented four completely different, but all very tasty, variants. Read about them here!
”A big thank you to all LTH researchers who continue to produce this cutting-edge research”
DEAN'S BLOG. Lund University is the most successful higher education institution in Sweden when it comes to funding allocation from Horizon Europe, and is now the ninth most successful higher education institution in Europe. It gives me great pleasure that LTH, is a major contributor to this outstanding result, writes Annika Olsson.
