Primitive stoves and diesel engines produce soot particles, besides being bad for your health, have a negative effect on the climate. By affecting the atmosphere’s ability to form cloud droplets and ice particles, soot can dislodge the radiation balance. This according to doctoral student John Falk, who is currently working on his dissertation about cloud droplet and ice particle formation in clou

The change means that Sociology, Social Anthropology and Gender Studies will become divisions in a larger department – the three subjects have already shared a building since August 2024. The decision, taken by the Faculty Board of Social Sciences on October 17, is part of the larger process of reducing the number of departments at the faculty as a whole. The merger will formally take place as of

A research group at Lund University has succeeded in creating a hydrogen-producing system using an iron complex as a light-absorbing dye. The new discovery could be an important piece of the puzzle for large-scale, environmentally friendly hydrogen production in the future. Hydrogen is a highly efficient energy carrier that can be used to transport, store and provide energy. The gas, which consist
