Scientists have long tried to understand the connection between osteoarthritis, our most common joint disease, and cardiovascular diseases such as heart attacks and high blood pressure. Previously, it was believed that osteoarthritis simply increases the risk of cardiovascular disease due to reduced physical activity due to joint pain and obesity. But new findings suggest that something much deepe

A lot og people are allergic to timothy grass. Photo: Whiteway/Istockphoto. An international research team has found a new method for predicting entire pollen seasons, something that can help healthcare and allergy sufferers plan to reduce problems. No similar tool has previously been used in the area. The researchers also show that pollen seasons may be 60 per cent more severe in the future due t

PhD student Sofia Blomqvist and her dog Ylle look for bumblebees and other pollinating insects. This summer, Lund University doctoral student Sofia Blomqvist will be investigating how pollinating insects such as bumblebees and solitary bees are faring in flower-rich roadside habitats. However, there is one problem: bumblebee nests are very difficult to find. Now she hopes to be able to train Ylle

Instead, they are forced to use streetlamps, neon light or floodlights to orient the

The new method opens up the possibility of creating another element that could be the heaviest in the world so far: number 120. The search for new elements comes from the dream of finding a variant that is sufficiently stable to be l
