The increasing amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are causing our climate to warm at an alarming rate. The consequent changes are unprecedented, and difficult to predict due to the complexity of the Earth system. While we know that half of the carbon emissions released to the atmosphere by fossil fuel usage are re-captured by the ocean and land ecosystems, we still lack knowledge when i
Archaeologist Greer Jarrett at Lund University in Sweden has been sailing in the footsteps of Vikings for three years. He can now show that the Vikings sailed farther away from Scandinavia, and took routes farther from land, than was previously believed to have been possible. In his latest study, he has found evidence of a decentralised network of ports, located on islands and peninsulas, which pr

Think of the proteins in your brain as delicate pieces of origami. A new study from the Medical Microspectroscopy group at Lund University reveals that polystyrene nanoplastics, commonly found in everyday items like food packaging, act like “clumsy hands” that force these proteins to fold incorrectly. Lead author Iran Augusto Neves da Silva used advanced label-free optical photothermal infrared (O

After a year of intensive work by many involved, the Swedish Climate Symposium with its close to 400 participants, has come to an end. Now an evaluation of the conference awaits, but the feeling is that most people experienced it as a successful event. To take the pulse during the symposium itself, we did a couple of short interviews with some of those who were there. Satisfied organisers Josefin

The emergence of a mysterious area in the South Atlantic where the geomagnetic field strength is decreasing rapidly, has led to speculation that Earth is heading towards a magnetic polarity reversal. However, a new study that pieces together evidence stretching back 9,000 years, suggests that the current changes aren’t unique, and that a reversal may not be in the cards after all. The Earth’s magn

Klimatkrisen är allvarlig. Lika allvarlig är utarmningen av den biologiska mångfalden i världen. Forskning och arbete sker för att lindra båda kriserna. Problemet är att åtgärderna hittills inte har samordnats. I en internationell studie pekar forskare på vikten av att ta hänsyn till båda kriserna samtidigt, både inom forskning och vad gäller konkreta åtgärder. – Klimatåtgärder kan inte bortse frå

Ju bättre blodsockerkontroll en diabetespatient har desto större är risken att råka ut för en trafikolycka, enligt en kanadensisk undersökning. Vid ett bra sockerläge är avståndet till ett för lågt blodsocker mindre. Därför är sambandet mellan en god blodsockerkontroll och risken för blodsockerfall naturlig och väl
