This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Researchers from institutions including Lund University have taken a step closer to producing solar fuel using artificial photosynthesis. In a new study, they have successfully tracked the electrons’ rapid transit through a light-converting molecule. The ultimate aim of the present study is to find a way to make fuel

 Back in 2001 the then Department of Astronomy moved from the old observatory at Svanelyckan (Stadsparken) to Sölvegatan 27.  Today it was time for the astronomers to move again.  Next time you want to visit the Division of Astronomy, we will be located in the A400 corridoor in the Physics building. Welcome.

Note: This PR was published by Lund University on 01/12/2023 Through analysis of high-resolution data from a ten-metre telescope in Hawaii, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have succeeded in generating new knowledge about three stars at the very heart of the Milky Way. The stars proved to be unusually young with a puzzling chemical composition that surprised the researchers. The study, whi

With over 1300 visitors at the telescopes and in the planetarium, it is safe to say that Culture Night 2024 was a great success. Arranging astronomy events on Culture Night is always a bit difficult since we do not know in advance if the skies are going to be clear.  We had luck with us this year.  The weather was nice and sunny during the day and once the Sun set we could bring out the telescopes

A research team led by Lund University in Sweden has discovered a small planet that displays peculiar orbital motion. The shimmying planet, located 455 light-years from Earth, shows that planetary systems can be considerably more complex than researchers have previously thought. The newly discovered planet TOI-1408c has a mass equivalent to eight Earths and circles very close to a larger planet, t

I drygt 30 år har astronomiprofessor Lennart Lindegren varit delaktig i arbetet med rymdteleskopet Gaia. Nyligen samlade instrumentet in sina sista observationer. Men teleskopets bidrag till forskningen kommer att leva kvar under lång tid. This news article is in Swedish.  It was originally published on www.naturvetenskap.lu.se by Johan Joelsson.Lennart, den 15 januari samlade Gaia in stjärnljus f

Tack vare Europeiska sydobservatoriets teleskop i Chile har astronomer gjort detaljerade observationer av den mytomspunna exoplaneten WASP-121 b. Upptäckterna av grundämnet titan och jetströmmar utmanar vår förståelse för vindar och kemi på ultraheta planeter.

A new instrument on the four-metre VISTA telescope at the European Southern Observatory in Chile has recently captured its first starlight. This marks the beginning of a new era in astronomy, as researchers prepare to map the sky in unprecedented detail. The instrument does not take ordinary images of the night sky. Instead, 4MOST – the Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope – collects spectra, that

Efter flera års arbete har Kirik och hans samarbetspartners lyckats ta fram ett helt nytt instrument som ”hyperpolariserar” molekyler och därmed gör dem möjliga att spåra med magnetresonansavbildning (MRI). Det nya instrumentet är det enda i sitt slag i Norden och tekniken öppnar upp en helt ny värld av möjligheter för att i detalj studera hur nervceller fungerar. Projektet har möjliggjorts genom
