Work is now in progress on procuring a landlord who wants to be part of the development of Nanolab Science Village. This means another milestone for Lund University’s establishment at the emerging Science Village – where the production of nanomaterials and semiconductor components will take place next door to the major research facilities ESS and MAX IV. A world-leading environment for innovation

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Currently, a worthy and fast-moving academic career requires extensive travel with high carbon dioxide emissions. Because of this, sustainability researcher Hervé Corvellec says Lund University should review its qualifications system as well as looking into students’ air travel.   “Currently, it is unreflectingly inco

All particles that reach the atmosphere cause different chemical reactions. Particles come partly from natural sources such as volcanic eruptions and forest fires, and partly from pollution and emissions. Aerosol researcher Johan Friberg studies particles at high altitudes. He fears that the global increase in forest fires could have a significant impact on the ozone layer. “I study the air in the

Poverty reduction globally is one of the UN’s primary goals. But how can wealth and economic development be measured in a smart way? Artificial intelligence, AI, and satellite photos are able to give more effective and precise measurements, but will remote sensing technology ever be able to replace time-consuming interview surveys? In rich countries, GDP is the most common measure of a country’s w

Plans to move some research and education to Science Village are being formulated. But the University’s finances are proving to be a limiting factor for the establishment. The goal for the University is to have completed a premises programme by the end of the year, which is essential if research and teaching are to be conducted in Science Village by 2030. Yet, Science Village Scandinavia AB, which

Economists are obsessed with growth. So says economist Timothée Parrique, who has recently attracted attention for his research into degrowth. He thinks that creativity is missing from economic theory. “Economists stubbornly attempt to solve today’s problems with yesterday’s theories,” he says. Trusting one’s gut instinct can bring rewards. In Timothée Parrique’s case that was certainly true – tod

Apocalyptic beliefs are as old as humankind itself. So, why are we drawn to stories about the finite nature of everything? A group of researchers is trying to get to grips with the issue. “In fact, we have always been as close to or as far from an apocalypse, if by that we mean a global catastrophe that wipes out or radically alters life. The idea that human life is fragile and can come to an abru

The results of an observational study from Lund University in Sweden are clear: up to the age of two, a more fibre-rich diet seems to reduce the risk of coeliac disease. A particularly clear link was seen when children had eaten fibre-rich foods before the age of one. “This is the first time the risk of coeliac disease has been studied based on fibre in children’s diets. But a clinical trial is al

Six researchers at Lund University’s Lund Stem Cell Center have been awarded SEK 13.4 million from the Swedish Childhood Cancer Fund, Barncancerfonden, in its latest funding round. The projects address key challenges in childhood cancer, from understanding how the disease develops to designing treatments that are more precise and less harmful for young patients. In total, Barncancerfonden is inves

It is not every day that the inauguration of a toilet draws a hundred spectators. Such a toilet would have to be pretty special – and this one is. It is special because it is flushed using rain water gathered from the roof of Kemicentrum. LUM was able to follow the rainwater’s journey from parapet to porcelain. An ordinary toilet flush uses around five litres of water. The water used is the same a

In 2022–2023, food prices in Sweden rose by 25 per cent. But it wasn't just households' wallets that were hit hard by the price increases – public health was too. Swedish consumers ate less dietary fibre, fruit and vegetables, according to a new report from Lund University. "A 25 per cent increase is historically unique. The last time food prices rose so much was in the 1950s, and interestingly, w

Cancer is a genetic disease, caused by a change in the genes which make up our DNA. Normally one change or mutation is not enough to trigger the development of cancer, instead cancer is typically comprised of a combination of genetic mutations. Researchers at Lund University have now revealed a novel somatic gene mutation is involved in the formation and progression of acute myeloid leukemia. The
