  1 How does the working method of an R&D unit differ from how it works at the university? The tasks are more varied and the collaboration between colleagues closer. Of course, the difference also depends on which research environment you come from.  Research is conducted in the same way and there are several internally driven research projects. However, we accept external assignments that require

How does Swedish energy utilities perceive themselves and their role in a just energy transition? And how do they understand energy justice and the justice implications of user flexibility? These questions are asked by Frans Libertson, doctoral student at IIIEE, in a newly published research article in Energy Research and Social Science. There is a general understanding in research that the energy

Through the DNA analysis of old air samples collected by the Swedish Armed Forces, researchers at Lund University in Sweden can show that spore dispersal of northern mosses has shifted over the past 35 years. It now starts several weeks earlier, revealing how quickly nature’s calendar can reset in line with a warmer climate. When the Swedish military began collecting air samples in the 1960s to re

Researcher Patrik Vestin writes in a " news and views " article in Nature that the woody surfaces of trees may take up methane on a scale of global importance. This is a missing piece in the estimation of global methane budgets, and hence in climate models. Future research should involve not just stems and trunks, but also leaves and small branches to get a fuller picture. Forests play a crucial r

Roach that migrate between different lakes and water courses have larger pupils and better eyesight than roach that stay in one place. The adaptation makes it easier for the red-eyed freshwater migrants to find food in murky waters. This is shown in a large study from Lund University in Sweden. Animals’ eyes, just like those of humans, are a kind of window to the world. Eyesight controls important
