Addgene is a global, nonprofit repository that helps scientists share plasmids, DNA-based research tools that are widely used in the life sciences. Researchers whose plasmids have been distributed to other scientists 100 times or more are recognized with Addgene’s Blue Flame Award. Among this year’s recipients are, Henrik Ahlenius and Isaac Canals. Plasmids are small, circular DNA molecules that s
Nine projects have been granted funding through the Sustainability Fund and the call for applications concerning Sustainable Idea Exploration. The aim of the call is to take early ideas from research to innovation that can make a difference to society. The funded projects each receive a maximum of SEK 150,000 to develop the innovative potential of their ideas. Twenty applications were submitted in

A considerable reduction in the availability of electricity is expected this winter. If the electricity available is less than the demand for electricity, this results in what is known as a power shortfall. This could lead to short power cuts at the University. There is now a Vice-Chancellor’s decision that clarifies duties and responsibilities within the University in the event of a power shortfa

When light ejects electrons from atoms, understanding their full quantum nature goes beyond measuring momentum. Using quantum-state tomography, researchers reconstructed the complete quantum states of electrons emitted from helium and argon atoms by ultrashort extreme-ultraviolet light pulses. They found that helium produces a pure state, while argon’s spin–orbit interaction entangles the electron

Care and circular consumption, can they go hand in hand? For some, it’s what drives their consumption of items and clothes. Réka Tölg, a doctoral student at the Department of Service Studies, has recently published two papers on the topic of clothing consumption, circularity and care, one by herself and one with fellow Service Studies colleague Professor Christian Fuentes. These papers focus on ho
