Butterfly wing clap explains mystery of flight

Published 20 January 2021 Silver-washed fritillary butterfly (Photo: Per Henningson) The fluttery flight of butterflies has so far been somewhat of a mystery to researchers, given their unusually large and broad wings relative to their body size. Now researchers at Lund University in Sweden have studied the aerodynamics of butterflies in a wind tunnel. The results suggest that butterflies use a hi

Nuclear physicist’s voyage towards a mythical island

Published 26 January 2021 Photo: Unsplash Theories were introduced as far back as the 1960s about the possible existence of superheavy elements. Their most long-lived nuclei could give rise to a so-called “island of stability” far beyond the element uranium. However, a new study, led by nuclear physicists at Lund University, shows that a 50-year-old nuclear physics manifesto must now be revised. T

Ostriches challenged by temperature fluctuations

Published 3 February 2021 Photo: Charlie Cornwallis The world's largest bird, the ostrich, has problems reproducing when the temperature deviates by 5 degrees or more from the ideal temperature of 20 °C. The research, from Lund University in Sweden, is published in Nature Communications. The results show that the females lay up to 40 percent fewer eggs if the temperature has fluctuated in the days
