The quest to control the remarkable phenomena of quantum physics is ongoing around the world. This year’s Nobel Prize in Physics is making the subject even hotter. Lund University is also involved in exploring the unknown – and at times mind-boggling – perspectives of quantum states. Mathieu Gisselbrecht, senior lecturer in Physics, leads the way down the basement corridor of the Laser Centre at F

What does future-ready education look like in practice? During LUSEM Pedagogical Week 2026, teachers, students and invited guests came together to explore exactly that – through a week filled with workshops, discussions and new perspectives on teaching and learning. For the second year in a row, the initiative created a space for colleagues across LUSEM to step back from their everyday teaching an

Hani Alsafadi defended his Ph.D. thesis on the 13th of February, 2023. With a longstanding interest in biomedical research and a passion for better understanding one of the least regenerative organs in the body, the lung, he has spent the past four years helping to uncover some of the mechanisms that may drive a lung disease currently without a cure, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

The first submission deadline is on 24 November 2025. Lund University supports the SRA Collegium’s initiative to announce a call for seed funding aimed at supporting emerging and innovative interdisciplinary research topics for the university’s Strategic Research Areas (SRAs). A total of 6 MSEK has been allocated for this call, which also aims to foster novel collaborations among the SRAs.We now i
Honeybees are common pollinators, but other insects such as hoverflies, beetles and butterflies, and wild bees, including bumble bees, are also needed for pollination and are important in many different ways. With simple measures, we can help these insects thrive so they can contribute to a diversity of wild flowers, crops and rich nature experiences. Oilseed rape, apples, strawberries and field b

Great reed warblers normally migrate by night during its month-long migration from northern Europe to Sub-Saharan Africa. However, researchers have now discovered that during the few occasions when it continues to fly during daytime, it flies at extremely high altitudes (up to 6300 meters). One possible explanation for this unexpected and consistent behaviour could be that the birds want to avoid

These are busy times for atomic physicist Anne L’Huillier. Earlier this year, she received the prestigious Wolf Prize – perhaps not as widely known among the general public, but within the field of physics it is considered second only to the Nobel Prize. Anne L’Huillier was honoured for her contribution to ultrafast laser science and attosecond physics. “I haven’t really taken it all in yet. I hav

Researchers from Lund Stem Cell Center highlight the importance of controlling viral elements that reside in the genome and how their activation during development may contribute to brain disorders later in life. Around 10% of the human genome is composed of DNA sequences originating from viruses that infected our ancestors throughout the millions of years of our evolution. Under normal conditions
