In the autumn, I hope we in the university management can focus on the core issues that we want to drive forward. It has been a very unusual start for the new University Management, strongly characterised by the ongoing pandemic. I hope that developments now go in the right direction and that within the University Management we can focus more on the core issues that we want to drive forward. The c

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Due to the Corona pandemic, scientists all over the world have begun focusing on every aspect possible of the virus. NanoLund poses no exception. To detect a virus or other infectious agents, medical and clinical laboratories usually employ the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). This method, invented 1983, is widely use

A new study from Lund University in Sweden has shown no correlation between obesity and how close you live to fast food restaurants or gyms. Studies from other countries have previously indicated that these factors may be important in adult obesity. The areas where we live are known to be important for our health. For example, obesity is more prevalent in deprived neighbourhoods. Deprived neighbou

SWEAH's research administrator, Stina Elfverson, is taking a six-month leave of absence from October 1, 2024. She is going out and seeing the world. What are you going to do?– I will work as a tour guide, which has long been my "jobby" alongside work at the university. In the past I have traveled a lot in Asia and Europe, but now I am focusing on Africa and will visit Egypt, Madagascar and Namibia

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. An international study led from Lund University in Sweden shows that 30 per cent of the energy in a certain type of light-absorbing iron molecule disappears in a previously unknown manner. By closing this loophole, the researchers hope to contribute to the development of more efficient solar cells using this iron-base

Bakgrunden till att en stamcellsdonator eftersöks är nästan alltid en malign blodsjukdom, som olika former av leukemi. De flesta säger ja direkt – självklart vill jag försöka rädda livet på mitt syskon. Men att donera stamceller är så mycket mer än en livräddande insats och medicinsk överföring av nödvändiga celler. Den känslomässiga insatsen är ofta hög, och donationen kan väcka stora existentiel

With 10,000 new cases a year, prostate cancer is the most common cancer type in Sweden. To create equal, accessible and high-quality prostate cancer care, Region Skåne has introduced Organised prostate cancer testing, OPT. "Anyone who wants to should be allowed to be tested for prostate cancer. Studies show that early detection lowers long-term mortality", says Anders Bjartell, one of Sweden’s lea

The rare metal terbium has been found in an exoplanet’s atmosphere for the first time. The researchers at Lund University in Sweden have also developed a new method for analyzing exoplanets, making it possible to study them in more detail. KELT-9 b is the galaxy’s hottest exoplanet, orbiting its distant star about 670 light years from Earth. The celestial body, with an average temperature of a sta

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Solar storms can be far more powerful than previously thought. A new study has found evidence for the third known case of a massive solar storm in historical times. The researchers believe that society might not be sufficiently prepared if a similar event were to happen now. Our planet is constantly being bombarded by

An interdisciplinary team in medicine and technology took the help of LU innovation to concretize and commercialize their idea for better stroke diagnostics. "Talk about your idea already when you are at an early stage of the process, because if you then publish the results, it may be too late to get help", advises one of the award winners, the faculty's Isabel Gonçalves. Together, the researchers

Technology adoption for active and healthy ageing, through a generational lens (half-time review Jens Offerman). Technology plays and will play an important role in promoting active and healthy ageing for current and future generations of older adults. However, very few studies highlight the specific knowledge needed to use different kinds of technologies and there is a lack of research addressing

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

Using micro-engineered soil models, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have investigated the effect of tiny polystyrene particles on bacteria and fungi. While these nanoplastics reduced both bacterial and fungal growth, the fungus actually managed to “clean up” their surroundings, thereby easing the effect of the plastics. “Plastic waste is a huge global problem.
