Diego Galafassi, researcher at LUCSUS, is leading a new research project on emerging media practices. Using co-creation, and a practice-led approach, the aim is to analyse how emerging media - innovative media forms at the intersection of art, science and technology - can support transformations to realise the sustainable development goals. Key areas to explore are challenges, opportunities, risks

A new study shows that carbon nanotubes used as additives to polymers – to make materials lighter, stronger, and electrically conductive – do not necessarily degrade under the conditions that normally prevail in waste incineration plants. However, if the temperature is increased, or the residence time in the flue gas is extended, they will be destructed. “Contrary to what has previously been thoug

There is growing evidence that Western welfare standards are not generalizable to the rest of the planet if environmental concerns, such as resource depletion or climate change, are considered. A new interdisciplinary anthology by researchers from Lund University raises the question of what is required to make welfare societies ecologically sustainable. Oksana Mont, professor at The International

Like learning to fly as the plane takes off.   Across the entire University, teaching staff are grappling with the transition to digital education and assessment at record speed in the unique situation caused by the coronavirus. The initial phase includes long workdays and getting the available digital tools to work in a critical situation. “We have grabbed hold of this. A lot must happen quickly

Biohackers experiment with their own bodies to upgrade themselves. They try to acquire a supermemory, increase their metabolic rate or affect some other biological mechanism. Now an interdisciplinary project is investigating how biohacking will come to influence our view of the human body and bioscience. : Interdisciplinarity generated by a long friendship. Immunologist Jenny Grönberg-Hernàndez an

Curiosity and the desire to learn are strong driving forces behind Almut Kelber’s research and her work as Pro Dean for research at the Faculty of Science. Almut Kelber says that knowledge about the animals’ solutions can also provide answers to general problems. “In my work as pro dean, it is important that I also continue with my own research – not least in order to subject myself to my own idea

Many believe that the profile areas initiative has been forgotten and is in hibernation, since the government has not reached a decision about a national effort. But that is not the case – at least not at Lund University. When I met the coordinators for the profile areas, they were all able to tell me about exciting new initiatives within research, education and external engagement. Here are a few

I and many others are ambivalent when it comes to the ranking of the world’s universities. But Lund University has made the ranking lists and that does have an impact, at the very least for international marketing purposes. We must be active, rather than passive, in relation to the ranking bodies. Small margins can make a university climb or tumble down the lists, so there is a need to be modest w

Early in the morning there was the sound of explosions and the sky lit up. Since 24 February 2022, Lund University has stood in solidarity with Ukraine’s universities. Are there lessons to be learned from the period when Kiev’s largest university had to rapidly adapt to war and a humanitarian crisis? This is an article from LTHIn (the Faculty of Engineering).

A lot of research explains which diets may reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Much research remains to be done about how our genes respond to the foods we eat. A new study led by researchers at Lund University adds to evidence that variations in the AMY1 gene may affect the way the body breaks down starchy foods. Unhealthy food habits are risk factors for developing type 2 diabetes. An

Is it OK for a manager to email employees in the evenings and on weekends? More employers should have explicit rules about emailing outside working hours, according to Mikael Ottosson, who is researching the work environment within a project entitled “Going home already?

More focus on the institutional environment and less on individual researchers in the assessment of research misconduct – and protection for whistle-blowers should be increased. These are some new points in the revised code of conduct for research integrity – points developed in a process led by Göran Hermerén. The EU Commission is now launching the code as a benchmark for those applying for fundi

Researchers at Lund University, together with colleagues at the NIST Synchrotron Facility in the USA, have mapped on an atomic level what happens in a virus particle when the temperature is raised. “When the temperature rises, the virus’s genetic material changes its form and density, becoming more fluid-like, which leads to its rapid injection into the cell,” says Alex Evilevitch who led the stud
