I december samlades över 70 psykologer, psykoterapeuter, socionomer och forskare för symposiet Barn i relationellt laddade sammanhang. Under två intensiva dagar stod barns utveckling, röst och rättigheter i centrum – i mötet mellan forskning och klinisk praktik. Symposiet arrangerades av forskare inom utvecklingspsykologi vid Institutionen för psykologi, i samverkan med nätverket Barns röst, rätti

Vårt minne registrerar detaljer och upptäcker mönster i vardagen – ofta utan att vi tänker på det. Forskare vid Lunds universitet har för första gången lyckats visa att hjärnan i realtid gör båda sakerna samtidigt. För att undersöka detta användes vardagliga situationer från datorspelet The Sims för att förstå hur vi tar in information i verkliga livet. Vi förlitar oss på minnet varje dag. För att

Var tredje av Sveriges 18 800 familjehemsplacerade barn tvingas flytta oväntat när en placering bryts. En ny intervjustudie från Lunds universitet visar hur barn själva upplever dessa plötsliga uppbrott – och vad som kan hjälpa dem att läka, återfå trygghet och gå vidare. ”Jag behöver orka med känslan av att jag är som en loppisdocka som byts till olika ställen. Orka leva med den känslan. Orka fly

Det närmar sig vår sista disputation innan sommarledigheten. Det är Gizems Hans tur att försvara sin avhandling som bär titeln Nature and Functions of Scripted Attachment Knowledge: Assessment, Cognitive Processes, and Neural Correlates. Avhandlingen handlar om hur våra tidiga relationer – särskilt till föräldrar eller andra omsorgspersoner – formar de inre “manus” som styr hur vi förväntar oss st

Personlighet och sociala relationer har större betydelse för välbefinnandet än faktorer som inkomst. Detta visar ny stor studie om svenskars välbefinnande. Resultaten bekräftar också att det finns en tydlig generationsskillnad, där yngre vuxna tydligt rapporterar lägre välbefinnande än äldre – ett skifte som började under pandemin. Forskarna har analyserat svar från över 34 000 representativa sven

The NanoLund Annual Meeting 2025 took place on October 8th at the Loop. Not only underlined by the Nobel Prize in Physics announced the day before, this year’s theme, “Quantum science and technology – from fundamental science to applications”, is also connected to the 2025 International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ), which marks a century since the foundational discoveries that gave

Work on Lund University’s establishment in Science Village has continued this year, but with a new focus. At the end of 2024, the boards of LTH and the Faculty of Science decided not to proceed with scenario 5 – a co-location of the Department of Physics and the Department of Chemistry in the area – due to cost considerations and the challenges of running education across two sites. The project gr

On-chip optical communication between tiny light-based components can make neuromorphic (brain-inspired) computing much smaller and more energy-efficient. In this work, researchers demonstrate that individual nanowire devices on a silicon chip can transmit and receive light signals directly to each other. These miniature circuits communicate reliably, using significantly less power than convention

When light ejects electrons from atoms, understanding their full quantum nature goes beyond measuring momentum. Using quantum-state tomography, researchers reconstructed the complete quantum states of electrons emitted from helium and argon atoms by ultrashort extreme-ultraviolet light pulses. They found that helium produces a pure state, while argon’s spin–orbit interaction entangles the electron

“X-ray and neutron-based characterization of advanced semiconductors (Semiconductors)” is the name of one of the new Themes at LINXS, the advanced studies institute whose mission is to promote science and education focusing on the use of neutrons and X-rays. LINXS recently announced that, subject to formal acceptance by the applicants, four new Themes will start at LINXS as of 1st January 2026. Th

Electrotherapy using injectable nanoparticles delivered directly into the tumour could pave the way for new treatment options for glioblastoma, according to a new study from Lund University in Sweden. “By drop casting the nanoparticles into the tumour cavity after an operation, we could electrify the edges while the immune system is also activated”, says Roger Olsson, professor of Chemical Biology

What started as a discovery in Lund Nano Lab ten years ago is now turning into a sustainable path for the semiconductor industry. AlixLabs recently closed a €14.1 million Series A funding round, and aims to build a new generation of semiconductor manufacturing solutions. “Lund Nano Lab has been foundational. AlixLabs would not exist without it. The lab provided the infrastructure, expertise, and l

The LTH Faculty Board has decided to support building a new nanolab and the establishment of more activities in Science Village. The board of the Faculty of Science has, given current conditions, decided not to proceed with their establishment in Science Village. The University Board and University Management continue to see the University’s establishment there as an important goal. “For Lund Univ

Since the discovery of graphene twenty years ago, physicists have been looking for materials that consist of two-dimensional layers. This study is about a newly emerging family, the transition metal halides. “Transition metal halides are a new class of van der Waals materials that we have identified as an ideal platform for many-body engineering. We are very enthusiastic about this class of materi

Can a bee’s brain teach us to build better computers? Bees navigate with remarkable precision using less than one hundredth of a watt of energy, while today’s navigation chips often use over 7 watts and weigh about 80 times as much as a bee. In an interview with Horizon, Anders Mikkelsen, coordinator of the European Innovation Council-funded project InsectNeuroNano, tells us about how nature’s nav

Think of the proteins in your brain as delicate pieces of origami. A new study from the Medical Microspectroscopy group at Lund University reveals that polystyrene nanoplastics, commonly found in everyday items like food packaging, act like “clumsy hands” that force these proteins to fold incorrectly.
