Scientists at Lund University have discovered for the first time that it is possible to detect insect DNA in the air. Using air from three sites in Sweden, insect DNA from 85 species could be identified. This offers scope for exploring a whole new way to monitor terrestrial biodiversity. These preliminary results will be presented at Ecology Across Borders (13th-15th December) via an online poster

Transistors that can change properties are important elements in the development of tomorrow’s semiconductors. With standard transistors approaching the limit for how small they can be, having more functions on the same number of units becomes increasingly important in enabling the development of small, energy-efficient circuits for improved memory and more powerful computers. Researchers at Lund

Even though childhood cancer is rare, it affects around 350 children and adolescents under the age of 18 each year in Sweden. That is almost one child every day. Due to improved treatment, 80 per cent of these children survive their cancer. Why do children develop cancer? That mystery has yet to be solved. Children suffer from other types of cancer than adults and the determining factor is the gen
