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 [...]

From workplace to atmosphere – air at the centre of Aerosols’ annual meeting
Air was on the agenda during Aerosol’s full day with the profile area. Air pollution, air environment in the workplace and atmospheric aerosols were some of the topics covered. The annual meeting – the third since the profile area started its work – attracted around seventy participants.
Hello Babs Kunle – tell us about your work within LTH Water
In this interview, we talk to Babs Kunle, who works with communications and project coordination in the Water profile area.
Semiconductor ecosystem to be strengthened
The Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth – Tillväxtverket – allocates SEK 12 million from the European Regional Development Fund to Lund Nano Lab (Myfab Lund). Over the next four years, the money will strengthen cooperation between academia and industry in the field of semiconductors, and lower the threshold to the lab for companies.
More efficient use of electricity grids can ease electricity shortages
The crucial role played by electricity grids has been overshadowed by the heated debate on the best sources of power to safeguard electricity supply. This is the view of Hannes Sonnsjö, researcher at Lund University’s Faculty of Engineering (LTH), who in a new report suggests how to make the electricity grid more efficient.
How fast you can catch COVID-19 through the air
The winter season virus has struck – and COVID-19 is still part of everyday life. But unlike during the pandemic, we now know more about how the virus is spread through the air we breathe. Research results from Lund University show that it only takes a few minutes in the same room as an infected person to catch the virus.
Increased collaboration in focus at the Aerosols yearly meeting
What are the health gains of removing vehicle exhaust from busy city streets, and how can low-cost sensors help to measure the air pollution? These were some of the topics presented at the yearly meeting for the LTH Profile Area Aerosols.
