Dark excitons are material excitations not visible under light illumination. Some acquire intrinsic momentum and become inherently mobile, which can be exploited in charge transport applications. Studying the properties of such excitons via spectroscopy is extremely challenging due to their dark nature. “Although the intrinsic mobility of dark excitons may be suitable for charge transport in futur

This Regional Outlook focuses on the obstacles of delivering humanitarian aid to Gaza and the challenges of rebuilding and reconstructing the area after the war. In 2007, the blockade imposed by Israel and Egypt in Gaza transformed the Strip into an area entirely dependent on humanitarian aid and external support, with the movement of people and goods under Israeli and Egyptian control. The 7 Octo

A new study from Lund confirms that pesticides commonly used in farmland significantly harm bumblebees. Data from 106 sites across eight European countries show that despite tightened pesticide regulations, more needs to be done. Despite claims of the world's most rigorous risk assessment process, the use of approved pesticides in European agricultural landscapes still negatively affects non-targe

Fish deaths, algae growth, bans on swimming, and fecal bacteria – now they are just a distant memory. This year, the engineers were able to hold their annual lake battle, the Regatta, on home turf again. This was thanks to LTH’s landlord Akademiska Hus, and their collaboration with VA SYD. But it is also the story of two LTH alumni who, in their professional roles, joined forces to deal with flood
