For the first time, a research team has succeeded in collecting diverse signatures of electronic properties of perovskite semiconductors in one comprehensive picture. By using a new spectroscopy technique, researchers have managed to produce horse-like two-dimensional diagrams that may contribute to more efficient sol
This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. A study from Lund University indicates that the flora of Skåne in southern Sweden changed drastically throughout the 1900s and up to the present day. The greatest decline in species diversity can be seen in forested areas in the northern and central parts of Skåne. “I was surprised that climate change has had the bigg

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Type 2 diabetes is often not caused by a lack of insulin per se, but an inability of the beta cells to secrete adequate amounts of it. Recently, scientists at LUDC have identified a previously unknown agent that plays an important role in the release of insulin. Knock-out mice that lack the ClC3 protein have a severel

The Storsjöodjuret, a mythical cryptid* with its roots in Jämtland, was mentioned for the first time as early as the year 1643 and is now being brought up to date again in a new doctoral thesis in human ecology. In the thesis, the author Sanna Händén-Svensson examines how perspectives such as social, cultural, historical and the local affect the shaping of the Storsjöodjuret. The aim of the study

He is our least known celebrity – a man of power who took the initiative for Lund University and was literally ‘prepared for both’. The 17th century bishop Peder Winstrup is an exciting historical person – and corpse – that will now be studied in a major interdisciplinary project. For many years, a beautiful coffin ha

The machines have started rolling in at Norunda and are cutting down trees, one by one. Norunda is Sweden’s oldest measuring station for greenhouse gases and it is unique. Following several decades of being surrounded by a hundred-year-old forest, it will instead be surrounded by a clear-cut. - We expect a significant increase in greenhouse gas emissions, says professor Natascha Kljun at CEC.
