Researchers from Lund University interested in understanding how aging affects the brain have made a new discovery that will help make it easier to study age-related brain diseases and potential treatments in the future. The key to this? human skin cells. The human brain is often likened to the night sky. Look up and one will see billions upon billions of stars. Our brains are similar in that with

How do we create a safe environment in which humans and robots can collaborate on handling hazardous materials? What do those working in the industry need to know about sustainable production processes, re-use and critical raw materials? Companies need to up-skill their employees to have competences for the fourth industrial revolution, industry 4.0, with new technologies mainly in automation, the

Researchers at Lund University have developed a new framework that can lead to the Öresund Link, thanks to the right maintenance at the right time and smart monitoring, having a total lifespan of 200 years. This is twice as long as envisaged when the bridge was inaugurated 25 years ago. The results come from the interdisciplinary research project EXTEND, which is led by Sebastian Thöns and Ivar Bj

Can dragonflies migrate thousands of miles across the Indian Ocean, from India via the Maldives to Africa, and back again? An international research team led by Lund University in Sweden has used models and simulations to find out if the hypothesis could be true. In 2009, marine biologist Charles Anderson put forward a hypothesis after observing globe skimmer dragonflies (Pantala flavescens) on th

Exercising too much and not getting enough rest is bad for your health. A new study from Lund University in Sweden shows that the same is true for migratory birds. They need to rest not only to renew their energy levels but also in order to boost their immune system. After a period of physical exertion, vertebrates, including humans, usually need a period of recovery. Apart from the obvious – lowe

The European Union (EU) often presents itself as a champion of LGBTQ rights, promoting equality regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. However, in a recently published article in a special issue of Journal of Common Market Studies, doctoral student Malte Breiding argues that this work does not always produce the intended outcomes. Breiding explores a surprising twist: as the EU pushe
