Diego Galafassi, researcher at LUCSUS, is leading a new research project on emerging media practices. Using co-creation, and a practice-led approach, the aim is to analyse how emerging media - innovative media forms at the intersection of art, science and technology - can support transformations to realise the sustainable development goals. Key areas to explore are challenges, opportunities, risks
Astronomic amounts of new digital information about the world, our genetic heritage and our habits are continuously being generated. This information is a goldmine for research – as long as the data can be accessed, stored and analysed. “We have a lot of expertise in the field. More and more areas of Lund University are nearing the threshold for big data as an integral part of research and teachin

A new study shows that carbon nanotubes used as additives to polymers – to make materials lighter, stronger, and electrically conductive – do not necessarily degrade under the conditions that normally prevail in waste incineration plants. However, if the temperature is increased, or the residence time in the flue gas is extended, they will be destructed. “Contrary to what has previously been thoug

Researchers have succeeded in restoring lost brain function in mouse models of stroke using small molecules that in the future could potentially be developed into a stroke therapy. “Communication between nerve cells in large parts of the brain changes after a stroke and we show that it can be partially restored with the treatment", says Tadeusz Wieloch, senior professor at Lund University who led

While Primula is down, it is important that everyone manually documents the cases that they normally register in Primula themselves, so that the information can be registered correctly afterwards, when we regain access to the system. To ensure this works the Faculty management has come to the conclusion that we at the Faculty of Medicine should follow this routine as long as the shutdown lasts. La

In collaboration with the Pufendorf IAS, the LMK Foundation invites to an annual Idea Forum for young researchers. Last autumn, Maya Kylén and Magnus Dustler Medfak participated, and this is what it was like for them. Deadline to nominate for participation this year is April 15. Maya Kylén: "It was exciting and rewarding! The moderators (Göran Bexell, Sven Strömqvist and Susanne Åkesson) did a fan
Tropical rainforests have long been considered the Earth’s lungs, sequestering large amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and thereby slowing down the increasing greenhouse effect and associated human-made climate change. Scientists in a global research project now show that the vast extensions of semi-arid landscapes occupying the transition zone between rainforest and desert dominate th

For the first time, scientists are able to describe the exact mechanism for how a common genetic variant leads to a disruption in blood lipid levels that significantly increases the risk of heart disease. The one in every three persons who carries both copies of the risk allele engages a 40 percent higher risk of suffering a heart attack than persons who do not carry either copy of the risk allele

More focus on the institutional environment and less on individual researchers in the assessment of research misconduct – and protection for whistle-blowers should be increased. These are some new points in the revised code of conduct for research integrity – points developed in a process led by Göran Hermerén.
