The risk of being exposed to Covid-19 particles increases with shorter physical distance to a patient, higher patient viral load and poor ventilation. Measurements taken by researchers at Lund University in Sweden of airborne virus in hospitals provide new knowledge about how best to adapt healthcare to reduce the risk of spread of infection. Researchers hope current international guidelines in he

On April 29, Lund University presented the strengths with which it aims to contribute to the world’s largest investment in cultural and creative sectors. The ‘Buzz of Europe’ conference showcased opportunities that the broad University can offer. Held in a packed university auditorium, the event was aimed at anyone interested in joining the Creatives & Friends network, which has now been establish

A research team led by Lund University in Sweden has investigated a meteorite from Mars using neutron and X-ray tomography. The technology, which will probably be used when NASA examines samples from the Red Planet in 2030, showed that the meteorite had limited exposure to water, thus making life at that specific time and place unlikely. In a cloud of smoke, NASA's spacecraft Perseverance parachut

At the end of March, the first cases of acute severe hepatitis of unknown origin in children were reported in the UK. Since then, the number has increased to more than 300 in around 20 countries; there are now reports of nine suspected cases in Sweden. The acute liver infection mainly affects otherwise completely healthy children under the age of 16, which puzzles researchers who are now searching

After many years, a research team led by Lund University in Sweden has sequenced and characterized the entire genome of oats. This opens up for breeding healthier oats with even better nutritional content, and growing oats in a more environmentally sustainable way. The detailed genetic analyzes also strengthen the evidence that oats are safe in a gluten-free diet. The results are published in Natu

A 30-year-old genetic mystery has been solved. It has previously been established that touch can trigger stress reactions in plants. However, the molecular models for explaining this process have been quite spartan so far. Now researchers at Lund University in Sweden have found genetic keys that explain how plants respond so strongly to mechanical stimuli. Cracking this code could help lead to hig

A new study by researchers at Lund University supports the notion that patients with type 2 diabetes patient should be divided into subgroups and given individualised treatment. The study demonstrates that there are distinct epigenetic differences between different groups of patients with type 2 diabetes. The epigenetic markers are also associated with different risks of developing common complica

The ostrich is genetically wired to adapt to rising or falling temperatures. However, when the temperature fluctuates more often, as it does with climate change, the flightless bird with a 40-gram brain finds it much more difficult. A research team at Lund University has shown that the ostrich is very sensitive to fluctuating temperatures in terms of whether it reproduces. If the temperature rises

The emergence of a mysterious area in the South Atlantic where the geomagnetic field strength is decreasing rapidly, has led to speculation that Earth is heading towards a magnetic polarity reversal. However, a new study that pieces together evidence stretching back 9,000 years, suggests that the current changes aren’t unique, and that a reversal may not be in the cards after all. The study is pub

The year is 2072, and the worst storm in two hundred years is about to hit Scania, in the south of Sweden. In Skanör-Falsterbo, a family is celebrating Christmas when the storm alarm sounds. The waves draw closer to the house, and the family dash towards the nearby church. What happens next is the result of many decades of decisions: did we work together, or did the lines of conflict become even d

Astronomers at Lund University in Sweden have found a group of stars in the Milky Way disk, that are most likely remnants from an unknown baby galaxy that was swallowed by the Milky Way over 10 billion years ago. Nothing like it has been discovered in the galaxy disk before. After the Big Bang 13.8 billion years ago, space was a veritable Wild West. Stars formed inside huge gas clouds that collide

On-trend clothes that you only wear a few times – in the beginning of the 2000s the fashion industry started speeding up production. Today, it accounts for around 10 per cent of global carbon dioxide emissions and criticism is being directed at the industry for not taking responsibility for its social and environmental impact. The big question is; can fashion become sustainable? Technological deve

Subventioner till fossila bränslen – olja, kol och gas – är notoriskt svåra att reformera. År 2022 nådde globala subventionsnivåer rekordnivåer på 1,5 biljoner dollar. I en ny artikel studerar Nils Droste, Benjamin Chatterton och Jakob Skovgaard den politiska ekonomin kring fossila bränslesubventioner och deras reform. Genom att studera industrialiserade länder finner de att förnybar energi och vä

Inför riksdagsvalet 2022 låg Liberalerna illa till i opinionen men klarade sig till slut kvar i riksdagen. Hur opinionsmätningar påverkar väljare att rösta på ett parti som riskerar att hamna under spärren studerar Annika Fredén och kollegor vid Chalmers och Göteborgs universitet i en ny artikel i tidskriften International Journal of Public Opinion Research (IJPOR). En utgångspunkt är att det spel
