Underground fungi play a central role in the fragile ecosystems of atoll islands. The unique symbiotic relationship between these fungi and rainforest trees is vital for the restoration of nature and ultimately for the survival of coral reefs. New research shows how fungi help nutrients to move between the forest and the sea. Palmyra Atoll is a remote and uninhabited cluster of small islands halfw

A tiny insect that lives on snow has revealed an unexpected survival trick: it can generate its own heat to withstand sub-zero temperatures. The finding sheds new light on how life endures in extreme environments. The snow fly – a winter-active crane fly – moves across snow at temperatures between 0 and −7°C. Conditions that would be lethal to most insects instead leave this species active, thanks

Att bo ensam i eget boende sliter mer på jordens resurser än att bo med andra, eftersom alla ska ha egna utrustningar – brödrost, tvättmaskin och så vidare. De nordiska länderna sticker ut: nästan hälften är ensamhushåll. Hållbarhetsforskaren Tullia Jack har intervjuat ensamboende om orsakerna och hoppas på nya former av kollektivboenden. – Delat boende är en lågt hängande frukt för att sänka kold

Where were the suspects located before a crime was committed? Where was a bomb assembled or a batch of drugs produced? A new technique that analyzes environmental DNA could help provide answers. Geneticist Eran Elhaik at Lund University has developed an AI-based tool designed to support forensic investigations. The technology uses environmental DNA (eDNA) to help determine geographical origin from

Klimatförändringar försämrar folkhälsan och leder även till att människor dör i förtid. Samtidigt står sjukvården själv för betydande utsläpp. Studier av intensiv- och operationsvård i Sverige visar att över 60 procent av klimatpåverkan i intensivvården kommer från den växande mängden engångsprodukter, enligt forskning av Linn Hemberg vid Lunds universitet. En viktig ledstjärna inom sjukvården är
