Redan i slutet av 1960-talet lanserades teorier om en möjlig förekomst av supertunga grundämnen. Deras mest långlivade atomkärnor skulle kunna ge upphov till en så kallad ”stabilitetsö” långt bortom grundämnet uran. Men nu visar en studie, som letts av kärnfysiker vid Lunds universitet, att ett 50 år gammalt kärnfysikmanifest måste revideras. Det tyngsta grundämnet som finns i naturen är uran, var

I en unik studie kan forskare vid Lunds universitet för första gången visa hur meteoritflödet till jorden sett ut de senaste 500 miljoner åren. Stick i stäv mot rådande teorier kan forskarna slå fast att stora kollisioner i asteroidbältet generellt inte påverkat antalet nedslag på jorden nämnvärt. Ända sedan 1800-talet har forskare studerat den geologiska lagerföljden för att rekonstruera hur djur

Genom ett banbrytande nanoexperiment har en forskargrupp i Lund lyckats konstruera en ny mycket effektiv detektor för mikrovågsfotoner. Upptäckten kan skynda på utvecklingen av framtidens kvantdatorer. Mikrovågor är ett samlingsnamn för elektromagnetisk strålning inom de högre radiofrekvensbanden och kan användas till allt ifrån att värma mediokra fiskrätter till att söka efter utomjordiskt liv i

20 år av mätningar är bara början. Långtidsmätningar som sträcker sig över flera årtionden är helt avgörande för att kunna förutse hur luftburna partiklar påverkar framtidens klimat menar lundaforskaren Erik Ahlberg. – Långtidsmätningar är viktiga för att få ett kvitto på att olika insatser för klimatet faktiskt fungerar. Säg att vi skulle stänga alla kolkraftverk idag – då kan vi om tio år ta red
