For the first time, researchers have succeeded in growing vertically aligned, free-standing metal halide perovskite (MHP) nanowires. This scalable, self-aligned, and lithography-free approach to achieving high-quality free-standing MHP nanowires arrays and heterostructures, offers new possibilities for optoelectronic applications such as solar cells, light-emitting diodes, and X-ray detectors. “In

A new study from LUCSUS shows that the UN's sustainable development goals as a whole do not contribute to making us more resilient to cope with disruptive changes, such as climate change. The researchers behind the study believe that the next global agenda should put the relationship between ecosystems and humans in focus and start from flexible goals that promote transformative leadership and are

Packed tightly together like twinkling stellar beehives, these globular clusters are made up of hundreds of thousands of stars. Now, for the first time, a team of scientists can reveal how the ancient and mysterious star systems actually form. The existence of these globular clusters, comprising millions of stars, has been known since the invention of the telescope in the 17th century. Globular cl

Packed tightly together like sparkling beehives in space. That's what the globular clusters of hundreds of thousands of stars look like. Now, for the first time, a team of researchers can reveal how these ancient and mysterious star systems are actually formed. The existence of these spherical clusters of millions of stars has been known since the invention of the telescope in the 17th century. Th

Opinionsundersökningar känns självklara idag – men deras historia är kort och fylld av debatt. En ny avhandling vid Lunds universitet visar hur Gallupundersökningen blev ett verktyg som förändrade synen på folkviljan och formade både politik och reklam i efterkrigstidens Sverige. Valåret 2026 är i gång och med det ett antal opinionsmätningar fram till valdagen 13 september. Idag är det självklart

Some blood pressure medications can make the skin extra prone to sunburn. A registry study from Lund University in Sweden shows a possible increased risk of basal cell carcinoma with certain blood pressure medications. The risk increase is relatively low—at most nine percent. “Blood pressure treatment should not be discontinued. But it’s good if doctors inform patients that extra sun protection ma
