A recent article in Nature Nanotechnology by NanoLund researchers show that a quantum dot-based heat engine can convert heat into work with an efficiency similar to that of similar machines with moving parts. As quantum dot-based engine has no moving parts it may be useful in applications such as nanotechnology and remote sensing. To Chemistry World, Heiner Linke explains: We have shown that we ca

NanoLund researcher Jesper Wallentin has been granted an ERC starting grant. His project will investigate whether semiconductor nanowires can be used as high resolution X-ray detectors. Wallentins group have some initial results that show that they can get a measurable electric current from single nanowires that are exposed to X-rays. Long term, the hope is that nanostructured X-ray detectors coul

By 2023 the University is to have reduced its CO2 emissions by half, according to the new sustainability plan. Things look promising right now due to Covid-19 – there will be a radical reduction this year as air travel is the biggest CO2 villain. The number of flights booked between April and October 2020 fell by 97 percent compared with 2019. Based on average emissions of previous travel, this me

Torbjörn von Schantz finds that he has made good progress on the road to a united University. In his management group, he now sees more of a shared assumption of responsibility and less of a silo mentality and special interests. What he has missed most during his years as vice-chancellor is proximity to the rest of the organisation. "I like talking to people", he says. After forty years in academi
