Kvant. Ordet dyker upp allt oftare i samtal om framtidens teknologi, säkerhet, medicin och datorer. Samtidigt uppfattas området ofta som både abstrakt och svårtillgängligt. Men vad är egentligen kvantfysik och varför är intresset så stort just nu? – Kvantfysik utvecklades för att beskriva universums allra minsta beståndsdelar. När forskare började studera atomer, elektroner och ljus upptäckte man

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Det finns likheter mellan jazzmusik och blodsockerreglerande hormoner – om rytmen kommer i otakt går effekten förlorad. Anders Tengholm spelar jazz på fritiden och arbetar i sin forskning med att förstå hur de blodsockerreglerande hormonerna insulin och glukagon utsöndras. Den insulinproducerande betacellen och den

Inom diabetesforskningen screenas personer som är i riskzonen för att utveckla typ 1-diabetes. Dagens metod innebär att det tas flera blodprov vid varje besök. Ett internationellt forskarlag har nu upptäckt att det går att följa upp risken för sjukdom med ett enkelt stick i fingret. Både barn och vuxna kan få typ 1-diabetes, som kräver behandling med insulin hela livet. Symtomen kan utvecklas unde

Forskning visar att gröna och artrika utemiljöer kring skolor och förskolor främjar barns välbefinnande och lärande. Trots det har vi relativt ont om natur på svenska skolgårdar. Varför är det så – och vad kan göras annorlunda för att skapa mer natur på skolgårdar? För att diskutera detta bjöd LU Land in till ett digitalt seminarium med tre experter på området. Här följer en sammanfattning av semi
