Artificial intelligence has gone from horror visions on film to a tool in everyone’s pocket. From spelling advice to shopping tips – and now to assigning work and measuring performance. What’s next? We met with organisational researcher Sverre Spoelstra to talk about algorithmic leadership and management. You may not have your boss in an app, yet. But the idea is not as futuristic as it may sound.

Neuroblastoma is a tumor disease that primarily affects young children. The survival rate is the lowest of all childhood cancers. Now, a research team at Lund University has discovered that a specific gene is associated with a poorer prognosis. The study is published in the journal Science Advances. Every year, about twenty children in Sweden are diagnosed with neuroblastoma. Neuroblastoma is a ca

Using surface water to heat and cool buildings can make Europe’s heating systems more sustainable and reduce dependence on imported natural gas. But efforts are needed to make the technology more large-scale, according to researchers Sara Brogaard and Barry Ness from LUCSUS. Today, natural gas is the main source of heating in central Europe, which causes large carbon dioxide emissions. In Sweden,
