Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. I den jättelika partikelacceleratorn Large Hadron Collider, LHC, vid CERN-laboratoriet i Schweiz och Frankrike når protonerna nästan ljusets hastighet innan de krockar med varandra. Resultaten ger oss ny kunskap om universums skapelse, dess minsta beståndsdelar, mörk materia och kanske ledtrådar om mörk energi. Part

Just nu patrullerar några av immunförsvarets viktigaste spelare, de dendritiska cellerna, din kropp i jakt på främmande ämnen. Hittar de något misstänkt bryter de ned ämnet i mindre bitar, antigen, som visas upp för kroppens lymfocyte

Professorn och melanomexperten Christian Ingvar har sett soltrender komma och gå. Personligen tar han lätt på ungdomstrenden med att ”maxa” solningen med hjälp av UV-appar. Men han är tydlig med sakfrågan: att bränna sig är skadligt, och svenskar måste behålla sin medvetenhet om nackdelar med solandet. Det farliga melanomet tror han är här för att stanna – men förhoppningsvis så tunt att det kan o

Eldhärjade skogsområden i Norden fortsätter att avge koldioxid långt efter att lågorna slocknat. Utsläppen är till och med betydligt högre efter en brand, än medan den pågår. Det visar en ny unik studie från Lunds universitet, där effekten av den omfattande skogsbranden i Ljusdal den torra sommaren 2018 har studerats. Att klimatförändringen, med stigande temperaturer som följd, ökar risken för sko

Missiologist Mika Vähäkangas thinks that Scandinavians can be a little self-righteous. He says that he has become who he is in great part thanks to his research in Africa – there he learnt what he knows about compassion.  Over nearly thirty years, he first carried out missionary work and then research, teaching and fieldwork in Africa on African Christianity.    "It has always been Africa.
