1. 1. Optical Communication using Nanowires and Molecular Memory Systems

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Synkrotronljusfysik

   Author : Thomas Kjellberg Jensen; [2024]
   Keywords : neuromorphic computing; nanowire; molecular dye; DASA photoswitch; OBIC; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : Neuromorphic computational networks, inspired by biological neural networks, provide a possible way of lowering computational energy cost, while at the same time allowing for much more sophisticated devices capable of real-time inferences and learning. Since simulating artificial neural networks on conventional computers is particularly inefficient, the development of neuromorphic devices is strongly motivated as the reliance on AI-models increases.

3. 2. Exploring potential E-fuel production pathways for maritime and aviation sectors in France : a techno-economic and environmental assessment

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

   Author : Mathieu Minaud; [2024]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The aviation and maritime industries pose significant challenges for decarbonization, having increased activity in the past decade. One promising solution to limit emissions in these sectors is Electrofuels (E-fuel), derived from water electrolysis hydrogen and captured CO2 or nitrogen. READ MORE

4. 3. Heritability of methane emission in Swedish Red cattle in northern Sweden

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and Genetics

   Author : Lucy Chipondoro; [2024]
   Keywords : methane emission; heritability; swedish Red cattle; dairy cow;

   Abstract : Dairy cattle contribute a significant proportion of greenhouse gases (GHG), mainly methane (CH4), among other livestock species. Methane has a negative impact on climate; therefore, its reduction is a top priority for a sustainable dairy production system. READ MORE

5. 4. Prospects for a Free Electron Laser at the FemtoMAX Beamline

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Synkrotronljusfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

   Author : Johan Holmberg; [2024]
   Keywords : Free Electron Lasers; FEL; synchrotron radiation; MAX IV; FemtoMAX; GENESIS 1.3; XFEL; X-rays; soft X-rays; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : A Free Electron Laser (FEL), is a device that generates extremely coherent and brilliant radiation using electrons accelerated to relativistic velocities in a particle accelerator. The process utilises similar equipment to what is used at a synchrotron source like MAX IV, but in addition there is an interaction between the relativistic electron beam and the generated radiation to achieve an exponential growth in radiation intensity.

6. 5. Climate Change Coverage and the Performance of Green and Brown Equities

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Nationalekonomiska institutionen

   Author : Anton Flygare; Fredrik Tingets; [2023]
   Keywords : climate change; green investments; equities; sustainability; news; Business and Economics;

   Abstract : Climate change has emerged as one of the world’s most pressing issues, a development that has prompted investors to shift their focus accordingly, catalysing a significant increase in green investments. This study is set against this backdrop, focusing on the performance of portfolios of European firms classified as low or high emission intensity – green or brown respectively – during an eight-year period, from January 2010 to June 2018.
