Presentation

As research communicator I write articles and news items about research at the university in the fields of medicine, chemistry, biology and physics.

Main tasks:
  • Writing press releases and articles about current research in the fields of medicine and the natural sciences
  • Helping journalists and researchers to contact each other through various channels
  • Working with LiU News and LiU Magazine
  • Participating in courses in research communication for doctoral students and researchers
  • Helping the general public to receive answers to questions through Ask a Researcher.

A breakthrough that enables practical semiconductor spintronics

Future quantum computers might use electron spin to process information. Researchers have now constructed a component in which information can be efficiently exchanged between electron spin and light – at room temperature and above.

Mechanism behind compulsive alcohol use revealed

A small group of nerve cells in the brain determines whether an individual continues to consume alcohol even when it has negative consequences. The scientists have identified a mechanism that may be a suitable target for treatment by medication.

New material promising for making renewable energy from water

One prospective source of renewable energy is hydrogen gas produced from water with the aid of sunlight. LiU researchers have developed a material that exhibits promising properties to capture solar energy and split water for hydrogen gas production.

Dogs mirror owner’s stress

The levels of stress in dogs and their owners follow each other, according to a new study. The scientists believe that dogs mirror their owner’s stress level, rather than vice versa.
