Few people look forward to digital meetings, but the researchers at Design Sciences do just that. They have found meeting places that give them energy and smart structure. He is holding a virtual cup of coffee and looks a little like a figure in the Sims computer game. “Now, running remote meetings feels creative and enjoyable”, says Mattias Wallergård.

The ability to capture the largest possible part of the spectrum of sunlight – with as little material as possible. Physics professor Magnus Borgström is dedicated to finding more efficient ways of utilising solar energy. The ordinary solar cells currently on the market can convert around 15–20 per cent of solar energy into electricity that we can use. The most common material is silicon. "The bes

Although emissions from air travel at Lund University have slightly decreased compared to last year*, longer journeys remain a major source of emissions. Now, a group of five researchers from different departments is tackling the challenge of shifting travel norms and reducing air travel with fresh perspectives. Funded by the University's Sustainability Fund ("Hållbarhetsfonden"), the project, ‘Bi

The results from the autumn travel habits survey show that a majority of the University’s staff (approx. 80%) get to and from work by walking, cycling or using public transport. This is a higher percentage than for other large organisations in Lund. However, there is potential for even more people to commute sustainably by investments in public transport and measures to promote cycling on campus.

Irene Margrethe Kaltenborn In KHM1 gallery IreneMargrethe Kaltenborn´s MFA exhibition Choreographies towards loss set the stage for the audience to enter artworks which echoed loss and a void, full of wonderment and poetics. The gallery was dimly lit and kept minimal, leaving room for the viewer to enter the web of interconnectedness between animals, humans and nature. What has the process b

Research in particle physics often relies on sizable, cutting-edge computing resources for analysing large datasets, producing simulation samples, or developing and running complex machine learning models. While particle physics has been a pioneer in dealing with many “big science” issues and raised the stakes in the Large Hadron Collider era,today it is by no means isolated. More and more researc

Researchers at Lund University have discovered increased levels of a microRNA in type 2 diabetes, which has a negative effect on insulin secretion. Their experiments on human insulin producing cells in the pancreas also demonstrate that it is possible to increase the insulin secretion by reducing the levels of this microRNA. An important goal of the research is to develop new treatments for people

In order to be able to prescribe the appropriate dose of physical activity to patients, healthcare professionals need to consider a range of individual factors. There is a need to facilitate the assessment of aerobic capacity i. e. maximal oxygen uptake capacity (VO2max), as well as to calculate the intensity of training according to the WHO recommendations for physical activity. Now, researchers
