Despite sweet lupin, buck wheat and amaranth being nutritious and climate-smart crops, we eat them only rarely. Engineering students studying food technology at Lund University in Sweden have recently developed completely new experimental products in which those crops play a key role – and perhaps provide a clue to the range on offer in the food shops of the future. Each year a group of students o

After several years of reduced air travel due to the Covid pandemic, business trips involving flights have now risen to about the same level as before the pandemic. In other words, the goal of a 50 per cent reduction by the end of 2023 is remote, and new activities are needed to reduce the climate impact of air travel, which is one of the largest single emission sources linked to Lund University s

Throughout life, our lungs are vital organs. For newborns as well as for elderly patients, there is a need for safe and continuous lung monitoring in the healthcare. Some of today's common methods of examining the lungs, such as X-rays and computed tomography are limiting since they can not be applied continuously and carry ionizing radiation. A new technology for clinical lung monitoring is now o
