Export control are regulations used to govern the export of military and dual-use goods—items with both civilian and military applications. While these rules are often associated with industry and defence, it’s increasingly clear that they also affect the research world—especially in fields involving advanced technologies and international collaboration. In some cases, data or research results may

Cancer is a genetic disease, caused by a change in the genes which make up our DNA. Normally one change or mutation is not enough to trigger the development of cancer, instead cancer is typically comprised of a combination of genetic mutations. Researchers at Lund University have now revealed a novel somatic gene mutation is involved in the formation and progression of acute myeloid leukemia. The
In an event on Europe Day 2025, Maria Strömvik from the Centre for European Studies spoke on the importance of the Öresund Bridge as an example of European integration. Together with students who shared personal experiences she criticised the border controls and outlined a number of scenarios that could be instrumental for their abolishment. On May 9, Europe celebrates Europe Day. This year marks

Through its extensive digitisation of older card catalogues, Lund University Library has made an unexpected discovery: a copy of astronomer Copernicus' famous work from the 16th century, which presents the theory that the Earth revolves around the Sun. The discovery was made possible thanks to the new full-text search in Catalogue-1957, which makes the library's older material much more accessible

The research areas remain the same, but our perspective on them has changed. This is how consumption researchers Carys Egan-Wyer and Emma Samsioe describe the development in retail research over the past ten years. “In one of our recent reports, we call it 'Retail as unusual.' There is no longer a normal state in trade, no 'Business as usual.' Everything has become more uncertain,” says Carys Egan

The metal recycling industry is growing, not least due to the use of metals in green energy electronic components. Researchers at Lund University have examined the inhaled air of workers at 13 recycling companies in Sweden. Among the results, high levels of lead in air and elevated levels of multiple metals were detected in the blood of those who work in recycling. Different forms of metals are in

I varje kommun finns livsmedelsbutiker, industrier och andra anläggningar som avger stora mängder restvärme som idag försvinner rakt upp i luften. Nu ska en del av denna oanvända värme forslas ut i fjärrvärmenäten och värma våra hus i stället. I en ny stadsdel i Lund har taxan kapats med en fjärdedel.
