Nature as a model for greener cities

Swapping concrete and asphalt for trees, ponds and green roofs is an example of how cities can be adapted to cope with heavy rain and climate change. But time is running out. For nature-based solutions to have a global impact, we need to act fast, according to researchers. A late summer’s day in August 2014, 100 mm of rain fell over the course of a 24-hour period in the Sofielund area in Malmö. Ba

Anne L'Huillier's year as a science rockstar

A year has passed since Anne L'Huillier became Lund University's first Nobel laureate. Since then, she has tried to use the attention to revive interest in research. But she has also had to come to terms with the oddity of becoming a science rock star asked for selfies all over town. I thought we would go back in time to the 3rd of October 2023. What do you remember most about that very special da

Men feel less powerful in their private lives

Men perceive themselves as having less power in their private than in their public lives, a new study from Lund University has suggested. Furthermore, both men and women agree: power in your private life matters more than that in public life. Power is often associated with men who possess visible status and money. But it can also be exercised in one’s private life to initiate and relationships wit

Highly charged molecules behave paradoxically

Chemistry researchers have now discovered how certain small biomolecules attach to one another. The researchers’ study also overturns the standard picture – particles with the same electrical charge appear to be drawn together and not vice versa. The results may be important for the development of new drugs. A number of chemistry researchers from several institutions including Lund University in S

Book release: Urban Living Labs – Experimenting with City Futures

Over 50% of the global population lives in cities, and those cities all share the same pressing challenge: how can they provide economic prosperity and social cohesion in a sustainable way? One way of finding answers to that question is urban living labs, a type of testbed where social and technical innovations are tested in real time in an urban setting.“Urban living labs are a new form of govern

WATCH: Master's students come up with nutritious, chocolate flavored bean spread!

Rather than spreadable chocolate, future consumers will perhaps be spreading a bean-based paste on their toast. This is thanks to a group of innovative students in Food Technology at Lund University, who recently developed a bean paste called Le Cobean. Healthier, tastier and eco-friendly – these are some of the arguments supporting the bean-based spread. The students came up with the idea for the
