Ultrashort laser pulses - that are shorter than a millionth of a millionth of a second -have transformed fundamental science, engineering and medicine. Despite this, their ultrashort duration has made them elusive and difficult to measure. About ten years ago, researchers from Lund University and Porto University introduced a tool for measuring pulse duration of ultrafast lasers. The same team has

Länge sades det att typ 1-diabetiker är normalviktiga och att typ 2-diabetiker ofta är överviktiga. Det stämmer inte längre. Bland personer med typ 1-diabetes är övervikt och fetma allt vanligare och med samma hälsovådliga konsekvenser som vid typ 2-diabetes. En svårighet med att hålla vikten är att insulinbehandling i sig ökar risken för övervikt. Frågan togs upp i tidskriften The Lancet Diabetes

Ett internationellt forskarsamarbete lett från Lunds universitet visar hur magnesium tar sig in och ut genom cellmembranet. Magnesium är en livsviktig mineral som påverkar en rad biologiska processer i kroppen. Ämnet har bland annat betydelse för att cellernas energikraftverk, mitokondrierna, ska kunna producera och tillgodogöra sig kroppens energimolekyl, ATP.  När mitokondrierna inte fungerar ka
