A new study from Lund confirms that pesticides commonly used in farmland significantly harm bumblebees. Data from 106 sites across eight European countries show that despite tightened pesticide regulations, more needs to be done. Despite claims of the world's most rigorous risk assessment process, the use of approved pesticides in European agricultural landscapes still negatively affects non-targe

Nature is a source of well-being and recovery for many people. However, research shows that there is also a growing number of individuals who experience negative emotions, such as fear, discomfort, or even disgust, toward nature. The phenomenon, called biophobia, is now highlighted in a new study from Lund University. “Research has long assumed that people fundamentally feel positive emotions towa

When light ejects electrons from atoms, understanding their full quantum nature goes beyond measuring momentum. Using quantum-state tomography, researchers reconstructed the complete quantum states of electrons emitted from helium and argon atoms by ultrashort extreme-ultraviolet light pulses. They found that helium produces a pure state, while argon’s spin–orbit interaction entangles the electron
