The AI Welfare State – Awarded grant for research cluster
The Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Programme – Humanity and Society (WASP-HS) has awarded funding for research into the societal impact of AI to five research clusters. One of these clusters is partly led by Stefan Larsson at LTH and will focus on the welfare state and vulnerabilities in how it is being transformed through the [...]
Amplify the good – A new concept for stable wireless network
For each new generation of network, there is a certain technology shift. How can existing wireless network technology be improved, and in what way can it meet the requirements that will be set on the future 6G network? Researchers at The Faculty of Engineering at Lund University suggest a new way of both enhancing and distributing wireless networks [...]
Lund semiconductor research moves to Science Village
Science Village will now be the focal point for semiconductor research in Lund after Lars-Erik Wernersson's research group moved to The Loop. The move is expected to provide new opportunities for collaboration, as well as increased cooperation with MAX IV, ESS and the upcoming Nanolab Science Village. The move is described by Lars-Erik Wernersson [...]
Meet Susanna Rezende within the ELLIIT environment
Recently appointed as a Wallenberg Academy Fellow 2023, Susanna Rezende is organizing a research school on complexity theory and starting new collaborations across her field. We spoke with her about her research and ambitions, as she aims to foster more interdisciplinary collaborations within the ELLIIT environment.
"A crisp proposal" is requested during Almedalen talk on semiconductors
A discussion on semiconductors was on the agenda in Almedalen. The dialogue, hosted by LTH at Lund University, addressed how Sweden can contribute to the efforts being made in Europe. One of the conclusions of the discussion was "the crisper the proposal – the more policy influence".
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?
Cutting edge transistors for semiconductors of the future
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 [...]
Reconfigurable transistors important in future semiconductors
Reconfigurable transistors are key elements in the development of future semiconductors. As conventional transistors approach the limit of how small they can become, more functions in the same number of units will become increasingly important in developing small and energy-efficient circuits for better memories and more powerful computers.
A tent for raising serious issues
The LU tent will soon be raised in Visby for two days of panel discussions. The University’s programme for Almedalen Week highlights the global challenges we are facing – such as air pollution and food poverty. However, the programme also inspires hope of finding solutions in external engagement between academia and society at large.
LTH launches profile areas for stronger responses to societal challenges
Lund University’s Faculty of Engineering, LTH, is now launching profile areas for its collective excellence in research. The areas are interdisciplinary and will contribute to increased collaboration with business and industry as well as wider society. Seven themes form the profile areas: aerosols, circular construction industry, energy transition, [...]
