How can AI, VR and smart glasses help healthcare professionals? Researchers from Lund University, among others, are now investigating this topic in a new study. The research project has a budget of SEK 45 million. The project is investigating whether patients who are to be operated on can use VR glasses in combination with local anesthesia instead of receiving sedatives or being sedated. It could

Does SRHR Aid Work? Evidence and Knowledge Gaps. Sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) are fundamental for people’s wellbeing. The promotion of SRHR is an important part of international development cooperation, and external funding is crucial for the provision of health services in many countries. Still, evidence of what works in SRHR aid is incomplete. A new report by the Expert Group

Physics World reports that Researchers at NanoLund have grown single continuous GaAs nanowires consisting of segments of pure wurtzite and zincblende phases. Using photoluminescence spectroscopy, they found that the spatial confinement along the radius of a nanowire resulted in bending of the band structure of the material.Read the article "Radial band bending at wurtzite–zinc-blende–GaAs interfac
