Entire genome of common forest pest now revealed

Researchers have successfully mapped the entire genome of the Eurasian spruce bark beetle. The breakthrough paves the way for new research into bark beetles and better prospects for effective pest control of a species that can destroy more than 100 million cubic metres of spruce forest during a single year in Europe and Asia. Mapping the genome of the Eurasian spruce bark beetle enables a far deep

How bees find their way home

How can a bee fly straight home in the middle of the night after a complicated route through thick vegetation in search of food? For the first time, researchers have been able to show what happens in the brain of the bee. Bees and many other animals use what is known as optical flow to determine how fast they are going and how far they have moved through their environment. When ignoring all other

Czech-Danish duo receives major award

This year’s Nordic Prize from the Fernström Foundation – one of the largest medical prizes in Scandinavia– is awarded to two cancer researchers, Jiri Bartek and Jiri Lukas, for their research on cellular responses to DNA damage. Genetically damaged cells that cannot repair their genomes without mistakes pose a major risk of cancer and other diseases. Every year, the Eric K. Fernström Foundation pr

Mathematic visualize climate changes

How did we end up here? What do we do to get out of it? In climate research, it is important to understand how the world works if we are to change our behaviour and prevent future catastrophes. Researchers use mathematical formulas to try and visualise reality, in order to find out what changes we need to make. “We build models in an attempt to represent nature’s behaviour using mathematical equat

Next generation 5G being developed at Lund University

Research for the next generation 5G network is in progress. World unique measuring equipment has been constructed at Lund University in cooperation with Ericsson and Sony. The aim is to create a mobile network that is considerably faster and more stable than previously. The 5G network is in the process of being rolled out worldwide, with countries such as South Korea, Switzerland and the USA leadi
