The NanoLund Annual Meeting is on! Our director Anders Mikkelsen introduces us to a day full of exciting presentations under the headline ”Nano and New Frontiers in Computing – technologies and insights in biology, materials, light and quantum”. #nanoscience #nanotechnology Lunds universitet • Lunds Tekniska Högskola • Medicinska fakulteten, Lunds universitet • Naturvetenskapliga fakulteten, Lunds universitet

One year of talking to society about science. Anne L'Huillier meets Sanna Trygg and reflects on how her life has changed since the announcement of the Nobel Prize in Physics. #attophysics #electrons #nanoscience #laserpulses

🌊 Every year, the amount of plastic in the world’s oceans increases by between five and 13 million tonnes. Over time, plastic breaks down into micro and nanoparticles that are invisible to the naked eye. Researchers at Lund University have investigated how these small plastic particles affect organisms in aquatic ecosystems.  They found that some species of grazing zooplankton, daphnia, an important source of food for fish, were particularly vulnerable. Phytoplankton diatoms were also severely impacted. However, other types of algae, such as blue-green algae (cyanobacteria), which contribute to algal blooms, were completely unaffected. “We don’t yet know why some collapse while others continue to thrive as usual. If the concentrations of nanoplastics increase, even those that can handle a few particles at present will also likely suffer,” says lars-anders hansson, professor of aquatic ecology. #nanoscience #nanotechnology #nanoplastics Lunds universitet • Naturvetenskapliga fakulteten, Lunds universitet • NanoLund https://lnkd.in/gxBVg8Tt

Our heartfelt congratulations to Yuhe Zhang who recently got the Werner Meyer-Ilse Award for her work on using deep learning for 2D, 3D and 4D X-ray images!🏅🔬🌠 #xraymicroscopy #xray #deeplearning #physics #nanoscience #nanotechnology Lunds universitet • Naturvetenskapliga fakulteten, Lunds universitet • MAX IV Laboratory https://lnkd.in/dAhXQtSk

💫 No less than seven PhD and postdoctoral projects at NanoLund have been awarded funding in the second academic call from WISE – Wallenberg Initiative Material Science for Sustainability. 🔬 “I am really excited that our researchers were awarded the WISE grants, combining excellent research and efforts for a sustainable society is central for NanoLund,” says Anders Mikkelsen, Director of NanoLund. https://lnkd.in/dFWRuBke Lunds universitet • Lunds Tekniska Högskola • Sara Blomberg • Edvin Lundgren • Magnus Borgstrom • Mattias Borg • Vanya Darakchieva • Erik van Loon • Jesper Wallentin • Medicinska fakulteten, Lunds universitet • Naturvetenskapliga fakulteten, Lunds universitet • Lund Nano Lab • MAX IV Laboratory #nanoscience #nanotechnology #materialsscience #sustainability #AI #semiconductors #perovskite #nanochrystals #spintronics #catalysts #electrodes #nanowires #electrodes #biofuel #LED #hydrogen

Our warmest congratulations to Kristi Adhami who has now defended his thesis, “Charge Carrier Diffusion Induced Light Emitting Diodes”! ✴ 🥂 🎉 ☀ We wish you the best of luck in your new position at AWA! From Kristis’ LinkedIn account: Yesterday marked the completion of my doctoral studies! It is a great pleasure for me that after 5 years in Lund and 11 years in the world of academia to realize my high school dream of completing a PhD in Physics. This journey filled with great challenges, has been an extraordinary experience. Over the years, I have had the opportunity to expand my horizons in the field of LED lamps, a field that stands firmly close to my heart. I want to express my deepest gratitude to my family, who have always been by my side, supporting and encouraging me every step of the way, and to my mentors for their guidance and guidance. For anyone with curiosity and interest, my topic is in the following link, with a “popular science summary” entry also in Albanian. #nanoscience #nanotechnology #LED #physics Lunds Tekniska Högskola • Lunds universitet https://lnkd.in/gUcsgRYy

Our warmest congratulations to Nobel Laureate Anne L'Huillier, who is awarded the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences, IVA’s Grand Gold Medal 2024 for significant contributions to the Academy’s field of activity 🥇👏   Anne L’Huillier is awarded the prize for developing new laser techniques for generating ultrashort light pulses, and studies of ultrafast physical processes in atoms and matter. Her research has increased the understanding of the dynamics of electrons in atoms and matter at the atomic scale, with applications in electronics, chemical reactions, and nanotechnology, among others.   “I believe I have an important role as a role model. It is important to inspire the younger generation. Especially young girls,” says Anne L’Huillier in IVA’s press release.✨ Lunds Tekniska Högskola • Lunds universitet • Kungl.
