When David Gisselsson Nord, a cancer researcher at Lund University in Sweden, read a history book last summer, he was struck by the similarities between how cancer and insurgencies evolve over time. Could military strategy be used as inspiration for cancer treatment? He teamed up with Robert Egnell at the Swedish Defence University to find an entirely novel approach to his field. ‟There are actual

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have used the MAX IV synchrotron in Lund – the strongest of its kind in the world - to produce images that predate the formation of toxic clumps of beta-amyloid, the protein believed to be at the root of Alzheimer’s disease. The unique images appear to contradict a previously unchallenged consensus. Instead of attempting to eliminate beta-amyloid, or so-cal

Rarely do we encounter a scientific fact that stirs public controversy and distrust in science as much as climate change. However, the theory is built on honest reporting of facts. This emerges from a new study from Lund University in Sweden. The study in question investigates whether there is a so-called publication bias within climate research, i.e. a statistically skewed distribution of the way

Crashing computers or smartphones - and security loopholes that allow hackers to steal millions of passwords - could be prevented if it were possible to design error-free software. To date, this is a problem that neither engineers nor current supercomputers have been able to solve. A major reason for this is the computing power required to verify large programs. Today’s computers use vast amounts

We may soon get better insight into the microcosm and the world of electrons. Researchers at Lund University and Louisiana State University have developed a tool that makes it possible to control extreme UV light - light with much shorter wavelengths than visible light. The new method uses strong laser pulses to direct the short bursts of light. Something very exciting happens when light hits elec

Researcher Steffen Malkowsky, together with research colleagues from Lund University, Sweden, and the University of Bristol, UK, has achieved a new world record in 5G technology, thereby surpassing the previous record that he himself contributed to last spring. The successful experiment is an important step towards a new type of wireless communication – a system where extremely weak radio signals

Tuesday 16 August 2016 is "Arrival Day" for over 2,000 new international students at Lund University. Arrival Day is a dedicated day to welcome international students to their new environment at Lund University. Students are greeted by international mentors at Copenhagen Airport and at the Lund train station, before being driven to the Academic Society building to be ‘checked in’, given keys to th

New research at Lund University in Sweden shows that the flight speed of birds is determined by a variety of factors. Among the most sensational is that the size of the flock has a significant impact on how fast the birds can fly. The larger the flock, the higher the speed. Researchers at the Faculty of Science in Lund have now shown how several factors, working simultaneously together, determine

The complicated structure of the dragonfly’s wings makes them sturdier and increases their stability and flexibility in the air, without affecting the aerodynamics. The research results may become applicable in the wind power industry and in the development of new, lightweight and strong materials. The wings and flight of the dragonfly have been studied by researchers at the Faculty of Science at

The largest study of prescription drug abuse in Europe shows that more than 12 per cent of Swedes over age 12 have abused prescription medication. The results, published in the scientific journal BMC Psychiatry, are based on studies in five European countries – Denmark, Germany, the UK, Spain and Sweden – and include more than 22 000 (non-hospitalised) individuals between the ages of 12 and 49.Abu

A research group of psychologists from Lund University in Sweden have shown that authoritarian people and those who perceive their own group as socially superior to others are often more inclined to accept the use of torture. The thing that unites them is not primarily the urge to defend their own group, but their strong tendency to dehumanise people who do not resemble their own kind. In psycholo

A new study from Lund University in Sweden shows that orangutans can imagine whether or not a certain juice blend is good or not, based on its ingredients. Predicting an experience of something that has not yet occurred can be done by using so-called affective forecasting – an ability that was previously considered unique to humans. We use affective forecasting constantly in our daily lives. With

By assigning a barcode to stem cells, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have made it possible to monitor large blood cell populations as well as individual blood cells, and study the changes over time. Among other things, they discovered that stem cells go through different stages where their ability to restore immune cells varies. The new findings provide important information for the rese

A study of an enzyme that helps build and repair DNA in living organisms increases our understanding of how these processes are controlled and how we can use this to combat infections. Chemists at the Faculty of Science at Lund University in Sweden, together with their colleagues in Umeå and Stockholm, have studied the enzyme ribonucleotide reductase, (RNR).

Research from Lund University shows that one in five adolescents who have undergone obesity surgery experience poor mental health. Some have even had suicidal thoughts. The study is based on follow-up studies of 88 adolescents who have undergone obesity surgery. “It is extremely important that the focus of healthcare providers is not limited to their patients’ physical well-being”, says psychologi
