Future technology
Advanced technologies that are changing our lives as we know it
The development of advanced technological solutions is moving fast and is needed in all areas of life. New technologies are essential for society, for treatment of diseases and for the development of efficient, clean and secure energy.
High-tech research facilities and laboratories enable researchers at Lund University to pursue new research paths, to ask new questions and to study the building blocks of life in ways not previously possible. This is made possible by cutting-edge research in light and materials, cognition, e-science, nanotechnology and information technology, to name a few examples.
Research for future breakthroughs
The aim is to contribute to future technological breakthroughs in disease diagnostics, semiconductor components for high-efficiency solar cells and smart electronics. By developing artificial intelligence and creating new algorithms, researchers can for example generate new knowledge that will enable autonomous vehicles and robots that behave in ways we most associate with living things.
Researchers are also exploring how virtual reality can help us experience historical places such as Pompeii and Uppåkra, and how motion capture technology can be used to create more animated, human-like speakers.
