This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Volcano or meteorite? Over the past 100 years, two different theories have been put forward to explain the formation of Lake Mien. However, researchers from Lund University can now definitively state in a new study that the lake in Småland was formed by a gigantic celestial object. It was long thought that the circula

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. They are called foraminifera and have lived in the world’s oceans for 545 million years. A research team has established in a new study that some species of this protist will probably cope swimmingly even in a climate-impacted future. This is due to their ability to respire nitrate. One consequence of climate change i

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. By capturing a weak signal from outer space, a research team was able to study the atmosphere of an exoplanet 300 light-years from Earth. The study shows that the planet’s gas envelope contains a specific isotope of carbon, which indicates that it was formed a long way from its host star. Exoplanets are planets locate

What keeps spaghetti from disintegrating in boiling water? The answer, according to new research, is gluten. The amount of salt in the water also has an unexpected significance. Using advanced techniques, researchers examined the internal structure of regular and gluten-free spaghetti – straight off the shelf. The results show that gluten has a crucial role in protecting the structure of pasta dur

Allowing nature to cover up after human activities, known as rewilding, has several benefits. It improves the resilience of ecosystems, increases biodiversity and favours the interaction between nature and society. This is according to a new study from Lund University. Rewilding is a method that aims to re-establish animal and plant species that have disappeared from a particular area. In a new st
