Visible matter in the universe represents only five per cent of everything that exists. The rest is invisible dark matter and dark energy. Particle physicist Ruth Pöttgen is one of the Lund University researchers involved in the search for the mysterious dark matter of the universe. She is standing at her whiteboard in a small office at Fysicum. With the help of her pen, Ruth Pöttgen tries to pain

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.

Despite Greenland belonging to an ally, the NATO country Denmark, the U.S. president does not rule out military action. Ideally, he says he would like to buy Greenland – but is it even possible for one nation to buy another in that way? “Historically, it is entirely possible and has occurred on several occasions. The United States purchased the Louisiana Territory from France in 1803, which at the

What obstacles stand in the way of user-centred working, and what is needed to succeed? Many organisations want to adopt a user-centred approach, but a new doctoral thesis shows that success is elusive when conflicting demands and a lack of organisational support throw a spanner in the works. Today, there is considerable pressure on organisations to work in a user-centred way. There is talk of use

In an infection, there are tens of thousands of peptides that provide a wealth of information about which bacteria have caused the infection and how severe it is. A research team at Lund University has now combined clinical questions with mathematical methods to systematically analyze these peptides.

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. At the time of the atmospheric nuclear weapons testing in the 1950s and 1960s, the level of carbon-14 in the atmosphere increased dramatically. Now researchers from Lund University have developed a method for measuring the carbon-14 content in atherosclerotic plaques in patients. The measurements reveal how old and da
