Researchers have developed a model that can calculate individual countries' carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel burning using observations from space. The new results could be put to use within the Earth observation programme Copernicus, when satellites will be sent into space in the coming years. At the COP26 climate summit, the nations of the world agreed on a new document that for the fir

The process of establishing a new Nanolab in the immediate vicinity of MAX IV and ESS is moving further as decided by the Board of LTH. The lab – Nanolab Science Village – will be the first step to establishing Lund University’s research operations in Science Village. The location for Nanolab Science Village has been identified for a long time and the plan was approved by the City of Lund in 2018.

In type 1 diabetes, the patient’s own immune system destroys the body’s insulin-producing cells. Researchers at Region Skåne and Lund University are leading a new drug study aimed at halting the immune system’s attack and preserving residual cells in newly diagnosed adults. The new study, dubbed IMPACT, will last a year and be It is aimed at people between the ages of 18 and 45 who were recently d

Consumer electronics, radar and mobile antennas, quantum technology, lasers, and lighting. These are just some of the applications that can benefit from Nitride semiconductors – a research field that plays an important role in sustainable development. On July 6, the 15th International Conference on Nitride Semiconductors is on. We got to talk to Vanya Darakchieva about what to expect.Why are Nitri

Exercise, even in small doses, changes the expression of our innate DNA. New research from Lund University in Sweden has described for the first time what happens on an epigenetic level in fat cells when we undertake physical activity. “Our study shows the positive effects of exercise, because the epigenetic pattern of genes that affect fat storage in the body changes”, says Charlotte Ling, Associ

Colombia is the world’s most dangerous country for those fighting to protect the rain forest and the environment. Last year, 79 people were killed for that reason, three times as many as in the second most dangerous country, Brazil. This means planning field studies there needs to be particularly meticulous. Lund University researcher Jesica López researches how the management of livestock affects

Most researchers want to do things correctly and much of the time this is straightforward: you do not need instructions in order to understand that you are to write your own text and not plagiarise others. But not all rules and processes are as obvious and some change over time. In interviews with researchers connected to the HR Excellence in Research project, it emerged that many struggle to alwa

During the excursion week this spring, Master’s students from the Department of Geology visited Öland and the Danish town of Faxe. This year there was also a new location in the programme. Students had the opportunity to learn more about the Cretaceous period and its fossil remains in the bat-filled Tykarp Cave, which is actually an old limestone mine. Anders Lindskog and Johan Lindgren suddenly c

During the month of May, staff from the University took part in a competition along with 18 other organisations in CoAction Lund to commute as sustainably as possible. By walking, cycling or using public transport to commute, over 1,000 participants have reduced their climate impact in a joint effort. Today, around 60 per cent of all the employees within CoAction Lund travel sustainably to and fro

We are now taking the next step in the University's work to make bias visible and prevent it in academia. Through a new training programme for critical friends, we want to raise awareness of how unconscious bias affects our academic environments. Biases, unconscious perceptions and preconceived ideas can influence the way we make decisions, judge others and shape our organisations. It is a challen

In a new observational study, researchers at Lund University in Sweden looked at all children listed for heart transplants in the Nordic countries between 1986 and 2023. A total of 597 children were included in the study, 461 of whom received a transplant. The results show that survival rates have increased significantly over time despite the modest volumes in the region – a development that the r

Nästa år firar Campus Helsingborg 25 år. Med utgångspunkt i dagens verksamhet och åren som gått blickar rektor Charlotta Johnsson framåt mot åren som kommer och i vilken riktning den livfulla 25-åringen är på väg. När Campus Helsingborg snart fyller 25 år, kan jag inte låta bli att dra paralleller till en 25-­åring i livet. Det är en ålder präglad av potential och energi, men också av en trygg för

Aktivering av lungans självläkningsförmåga med hjälp av fysisk träning ger ökad överlevnad och förbättrar symptomen hos KOL-patienter. Men kunskap om vad som händer på cellulär och molekylärnivå vid ökad fysisk aktivitet saknas. För att förstå dessa mekanismer bättre tilldelas Gunilla Westergren-Thorsson, professor i lungbiologi vid Lunds universitet, Hjärt-Lungfondens stora forskningsanslag 2021.
