When the storm hit, will the dike hold?
A nature-based dike is designed to protect people and buildings from extreme storm surges. But how do soil and vegetation affect its resilience? Researchers at Lund University are investigating this on the Falsterbo Peninsula, using a wave impact generator to simulate wave load on the dike. Their findings will help build knowledge about how coastal [...]
New centre brings together Lund University's quantum research
Quantum technology is high on the agenda, with research taking place across several areas at Lund University. Now, the university’s quantum researchers are being brought together in a new centre based at the Faculty of Engineering. The centre aims to strengthen collaboration in quantum science, raise the visibility of research in the field, and [...]
New heights with new frequencies
In much the same way as a lamp switches on above you as you walk under it in a corridor, a network can be created exactly where you are standing by using a new combination of frequencies for wireless communication. Researchers at LTH are investigating the conditions for future 6G applications using dual frequencies.

LTH alumnus Kaveh Madani receives the world’s most prestigious water award
The Stockholm Water Prize is the world’s most prestigious water award and on August 26 2026 it was awarded to Lund University and LTH alumnus, Professor Kaveh Madani, a former international student from Iran and now the Director of the United Nations University Institute for Water, Environment and Health (UNU-INWEH).
Researchers mimic life’s own engines
The most advanced engines are not found in airplanes, cars or other machines - they are found in nature. Inside our cells, tiny protein motors power everything from cell division to muscle movement with an efficiency and precision that has fascinated researchers for decades and inspired long-standing efforts to replicate them. Now, scientists have [...]
Preparing for a warmer climate
A heat wave has spread across Europe in the recent weeks. The extremely high temperatures have put both people and communities to the test. “The heat in the south is a wake-up call for us in the north – we aren’t prepared for extreme heat of this kind,” says Lund University researcher Chuansi Gao, who offers advice on how best to cope with the heat [...]
What exactly is quantum – and why is everyone talking about it?
Quantum. The word appears increasingly often in discussions about future technologies, security, medicine and computing. At the same time, the field is often perceived as both abstract and difficult to understand. But, what exactly is quantum – and why is everyone talking about it?
