The online doctoral course Power, Justice and (De)coloniality in Development is now open for applications. Application deadline is 13 June 2025. This course addresses various aspects of power in development. Rather than adapting a post-colonial perspective in which development practices and politics is portrayed as something enacted by the global North on the global South, the course is situated i

Research at Lund University in Sweden has found a new way to create nano-sized magnetic particles using ultrafast laser light pulses. The discovery could pave the way for new and more energy-efficient technical components and become useful in the quantum computers of the future. Magnetic skyrmions are sometimes described as magnetic vortices. Unlike ferromagnetic states - which occur in convention

What role does programming play in physics teaching? Can programming be used to teach physical concepts? In his dissertation, Kim Svensson examines how the movement between formula, code and visualisation can contribute to learning in physics. In the future, Kim hopes that programming can be used in a more open way, where students have the opportunity to explore their own models and ideas in a new

The lab that will take us closer to the aviation fuel of the future has now opened. The Jet Engine Lab at the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) makes it possible to conduct full-scale studies on how engines are affected by new fuels – knowledge that will become increasingly important when fossil-based aviation fuels are phased out and replaced by more sustainable alternatives. The Jet Engine Lab is at

“If we succeed, this could be a method that helps find materials to build quantum computers that can withstand higher temperatures, with the possibility of fast operations,” says Mathieu Gisselbrecht. This is a quantum mechanical phenomenon that can best be described as an ensemble of particles for which the quantum state of each individual particle cannot be described independently of the state o

Physics researchers at Lund University in Sweden recently succeeded in constructing small solar radiation-collecting antennas – nanowires – using three different materials that are a better match for the solar spectrum compared with today’s silicon solar cells. As the nanowires are light and require little material per unit of area, they are now to be installed for tests on satellites, which are p
