During the week of Midsummer, Sweden will inaugurate its largest investment in research ever made – MAX IV Laboratory. “It has been a long process and it feels amazing that all the electrons and light are now working”, says Pro Vice-Chancellor Stacey Ristinmaa Sörensen, responsible for the University’s infrastructure and Professor of Synchrotron Radiation Physics. Originally published in Lund Univ

Geologist Birger Schmitz from Lund University in Sweden has found the fossil of an extinct meteorite that collided with Earth about 470 million years ago. The finding is the first of its kind and of a type of meteorite that no longer falls on Earth. The discovery, which could lead to new knowledge about our solar system, attracts attention both nationally and internationally. No one knows what the

In her own words, Dean of the Faculty of Fine and Performing Arts Solfrid Söderlind writes about the future of the Malmö Art Academy. In the last few days there has been an intense debate in the media about the Art Academy, which has been described as threatened with shut-down due to an eviction notice from the city of Malmö on its current premises. Lund University has been warned that the city ne

For the first time ever, researchers have differentiated the risks of developing indolent or aggressive prostate cancer in men with a family history of the disease. Researchers from the Swedish universities of Lund, Uppsala and Umeå now present new and somewhat surprising results. It is a well-known fact that men with a family history of prostate cancer run an increased risk of developing the dise

New research discoveries at Lund University in Sweden show that in almost any lighting conditions, colour vision is crucial for chickens – and probably other birds as well – in order to find good food that is ripe to eat and identify high quality partners to mate with. Watch short video from the experiment The researchers have established that chickens – just like people – have colour constancy. F

The Master’s programme in Finance at the Lund University School of Economics and Management (LUSEM) is ranked number 32 in the world in the Financial Times ranking of finance programmes that was released today. This is a climb from place 38 last year. “Our students simply seem to be very satisfied with where our programme has taken them professionally”, says Kristina Eneroth, Vice-Dean at LUSEM. T

We know that individuals who smoke take major health risks. Now a new research study from Lund University in Sweden shows that common treatment for breast cancer works less well in patients who smoke, compared to non-smokers. “Smokers who were treated with aromatase inhibitors had a three times higher risk of recurrence of breast cancer compared with the non-smokers who got the same treatment. The

Birds of the species Parus Major (great tit) living in an urban environment are at greater risk of dying young than great tits living outside cities. Research results from Lund University in Sweden show that urban great tits have shorter telomeres than others of their own species living in rural areas. According to the researchers, the induced stress that the urban great tits are experiencing is w

MAX IV – the most modern synchrotron radiation facility in the world – is now ready to open. Over 2,000 international researchers will use the Swedish-based laboratory each year to conduct groundbreaking experiments in materials and life sciences using the most brilliant X-ray light ever generated. The laboratory enables researchers to study atoms and molecules that are only a few tenths of a nano

Traditionally, the evolutionary development of an insect species has been explained by the notion that the female insect chooses her male partner based on size and other factors, so-called assortative mating. These mating patterns have also been believed to partially explain how the isolation between different species is maintained. However, new research from Lund University in Sweden shows just t

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have discovered that the appetite hormone CART is regulated by glucose and is found in greater quantity in people with type 2 diabetes. “This could be the body’s own defence mechanism to lower blood sugar levels in case of type 2 diabetes”, says Associate Professor Nils Wierup, in charge of the study. The study shows that the appetite hormone CART not only

For the first time, researchers from Lund University have successfully measured in detail the flow of solar energy, in and between different parts of a photosynthetic organism. The result is a first step in research that could ultimately contribute to the development of technologies that use solar energy far more efficiently than what is currently possible. For about 80 years, researchers have kno

Global environmental changes caused by a warmer climate can be combatted on a local level. The quality of our drinking water can be improved before it reaches water purification facilities and consumers through local efforts that minimise the growth of toxic algae and cyanobacteria in lakes. Lakes that serve as drinking water reservoirs are becoming warmer due to ongoing global climate change. The
