ClassIC – creating a Swedish hub in semiconductor chip design
Now it is official – the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research, SSF, is funding the multidisciplinary research center ClassIC with up to a total of 60 million SEK during a six-year period. The investment aims to build a research and education node for semiconductor system design to strengthen Swedish academia and industry in the field.
Celebrating electricity and the birthday of a legend of the Faculty of Engineering, LTH
A themed day about electricity was held to celebrate an 80-year-old LTH legend. Sture Lindahl has been a part of LTH since the 1970s and is about to celebrate a milestone birthday. Most recently, he was adjunct professor of industrial electrical engineering and automation, and over a hundred people met to reflect on his contributions, and to look [...]
Almost time to move in to the newly renovated M Building
Back then, the red brick buildings rose like a lonely wall against the open fields of eastern Lund. Now, the buildings are a hub in the middle of the knowledge highway that links the centre of the city with the research facilities on the outskirts of Brunnshög. We are talking, of course, about the buildings on the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) [...]
Anne L’Huillier new Frontiers of Knowledge Awardee
vFor her pioneering work in attosecond physics, Anne L’Huillier is one of the three new laureates of the Frontiers of Knowledge Award in basic science, a prize from the BBVA Foundation.
New report to help reduce flicker from LED lighting
LED technology is often mentioned for its advantages – being energy efficient, long life time and the fact that the technology can be controlled in various ways. LED lamps’ ability to produce flicker is not mentioned as often. One reason for this is a lack of knowledge about how to measure the phenomenon and its health effects. That is something [...]
Kimberly Dick Thelander is awarded the Göran Gustafsson Prize in chemistry
With the help of the microscope, nanocrystals can become new semiconductors – and “for the study of the atomic structure of nanomaterials and its characterization by in-situ electron microscopy”, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awards Kimberly Dick Thelander, professor of Materials Science, the Göran Gustafsson Prize.
Strategic collaboration with the Olle Engkvist Foundation: 100 MSEK for Nanolab Science Village
NanoLund at Lund University has established a long-term strategic collaboration with the Olle Engkvist Foundation, which intends to support the purchase of equipment for Nanolab Science Village to the tune of SEK 100 million over five years.
Measurement of microwave photons could reveal mysteries of the universe
Ville Maisi, senior lecturer at the Deparment of Physics at Lund University’s Faculty of Engineering (LTH) and researcher at NanoLund, has been awarded a European Research Council Consolidator Grant worth SEK 28 million for the QPHOTON project. The research will focus on building microwave detectors over a five-year period.
The Baltic Sea Flood – the forgotten storm surge that can provide lessons for the future
The Baltic Sea Flood 150 years ago, which swept away entire communities and caused several hundred fatalities, is almost forgotten today. Nonetheless, the Baltic Sea Flood is one of the worst natural disasters ever to strike the southern Baltic Sea. However, using lessons learned from history and new knowledge about storm surges in the wake of [...]
Interdisciplinary research school on Skåne’s beaches
The coast is changing. The sea is encroaching further inland, and the shoreline of childhood memory no longer looks the same. Climate change is impacting beaches and the sea, but time is also a factor.
