Why do people slack off at work? Last year it was revealed that 20 workers at a big Swedish mining company had been slacking off at work by taking turns clocking each other in and out. The scheme had been going on for several years - supposedly costing the company millions of dollars. How is such major slacking possible?

Researchers have discovered several extraordinary items at the Antikythera shipwreck site in Greece, including bronze statue pieces and a mystery disc decorated with a bull. The statue pieces, notably a bronze arm and two marble feet attached to a plinth, were found lodged under massive boulders, leading the internati

Geologists at Lund University in Sweden have mapped 300 years of research on the prehistoric marine reptiles known as ichthyosaurs. Using a uniquely well-preserved fossil, the team has also created the scientifically most up-to-date reconstruction of an ichthyosaur currently available. Fish lizards, or ichthyosaurs, were a very successful group of animals that, much like today's whales, migrated f

Research at Lund University in Sweden has found a new way to create nano-sized magnetic particles using ultrafast laser light pulses. The discovery could pave the way for new and more energy-efficient technical components and become useful in the quantum computers of the future. Magnetic skyrmions are sometimes described as magnetic vortices. Unlike ferromagnetic states – which occur in convention

Tipping elements are regions that are vulnerable to climate change and capable of sudden drastic changes. However, it is not well understood to what degree tipping of one element in the system can influence other tipping elements. In this study, the researchers establish long-distance connections (teleconnections) between tipping elements using network analysis – thus applying a new approach in cl

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

A team of researchers, led from Lund, has discovered a small planet that has a peculiar way of moving in its orbit. The wobbling planet TOI-1408c, located 455 light years from Earth, shows that planetary systems can be far more complex than scientists previously thought. The newly discovered planet has a mass equivalent of eight Earths and orbits very close to a larger planet, the hot gas giant TO
