Novel nanostructure formation with atomic-scale precision
Site-selected crystal material synthesis at the atomic scale has been a long-standing challenge. NanoLundians Rainer Timm and Yi Liu use nanowire crystal phase heterostructures as templates for self-selective growth of one- and two-dimensional GaBi nanostructures, which allows a versatile design with atomic-scale precision. Scaling down material synthesis to crystalline structures only a few atoms

AI forces teachers to change the way courses are examined
Academic misconduct has increased with about 200% during the past covid years. As a precaution Lund University has started a project to prevent deception and misleading in examination, whether it’s unauthorized cooperation, plagiarism, or non-allowed aids. In every study environment there is a unique culture, with boundaries to what is considered acceptable and unacceptable by the students themsel

Tattoos could be a risk factor for melanoma
An increasing number of Swedes are getting tattoos and Sweden’s population is now one of the most tattooed in Europe. At the same time, the incidence of melanoma is increasing. A new epidemiological study from Lund University in Sweden suggests that tattoos could be a risk factor for melanoma. The state of research on tattoos and cancerIn view of the lack of knowledge concerning the long-term heal

COMMONS – A centre of excellence with a focus on the common ground
When the Swedish Research Council announced funding for so-called "centres of excellence" almost three years ago, a total of 15 new initiatives were approved across Sweden. Only one of them was awarded to Lund: COMMONS – Commonalities in biomembrane and biomolecular interactions.A year has now passed since COMMONS was inaugurated with a ceremony at the Department of Chemistry. What has happened si

Land Identified as Crucial for Swedish Bioenergy Is Already Occupied, New Study Shows
Bioenergy plays a vital role in the transition to a fossil-free society. However, the "unused" agricultural land, so-called marginal land, deemed suitable for bioenergy cultivation in southern Sweden is practically nonexistent, according to a new study from Lund University. Much of the land is already in use, for example, for horse grazing. "Our study shows that the potential for bioenergy product

The protein that protects insulin-producing cells
Much research on diabetes focuses on understanding what happens when the insulin-producing cells are destroyed. Researchers at Lund University have instead chosen to investigate what protects the insulin-producing cells. Their research shows that a protein of the immune system protects the insulin-producing cells from inflammation and death. The study, published in PNAS, is an example of basic res

New treatment of atherosclerosis may reduce the risk of a heart attack
A treatment that has reduced plaque development in animals has now been tested in people with psoriasis. Jan Nilsson at Lund University is one of the researchers behind the clinical study that showed a reduced inflammation of the coronary arteries, which in turn may reduce the risk of dying from a heart attack. People with diabetes may also benefit from the treatment in the future. Short facts abo

Research paves the way for sustainable dietary guidelines
The EAT-Lancet diet is a framework designed to promote environmental sustainability while also preventing common diseases such as type 2 diabetes. How do we know if the diet actually works? An international research team studied seven dietary scores and found that two of them were particularly good at evaluating adherence to the diet. Reliable diet scores are important when developing sustainable

As Colombia hosts a UN biodiversity summit, its own Amazonian rainforest is in crisis
The city of Cali, in Colombia, is hosting the UN’s 16th biodiversity summit, known as Cop16. The summit, which runs until Friday, November 1, is focused on how countries will fulfil previous pledges to protect at least 30% of the world’s land and water and restore 30% of degraded ecosystems by 2030. It’s a noble aim, yet Colombia itself shows just how far we have to go. If you travel south east fr

Timbuktu on the University’s Cultural Council: ”A glimpse under the bonnet”
The next-door neighbour whose home you’ve never been inside. That was how Jason Diakité, also known as hip hop artist Timbuktu, felt about the University while growing up in Lund. Today, he feels differently – having been awarded an honorary doctorate and now taking his seat as one of LU’s external Cultural Council members. Inside the historic Old Bishop’s House, final preparations are underway fo

Co-funding – an increasingly difficult challenge
Lund University’s researchers are good at applying for and obtaining external research grants. But many funding bodies require faculties and departments to co-fund research projects, something that is becoming a major financial challenge for the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) and others. “Of course there is a limit to what we can do,” says Magnus Genrup, head of the Department of Energy Sciences.

Researcher Johan Östling: The attack on US universities is unprecedented
Trump’s attack on US universities and their research is actually a broader attack on democratic values, according to historian of knowledge Johan Östling. By destroying them, the Trump administration is paving the way for a very different kind of society. “We need to understand the breadth and depth of this offensive,” says Johan Östling.Could you put Trump’s actions against universities in the U
