A common cause of myocardial infarction and stroke is the rupture of atherosclerotic plaques. The exact location of plaque ruptures has previously been unknown, but now researchers at Lund University have mapped this. The research team has also identified an enzyme, a marker, that they hope will help predict who is at risk of having a myocardial infarction or a stroke due to a ruptured atheroscler

New research suggests that green growth climate mitigation policies are not sufficient for reaching the ambitious targets of the Paris Agreement, to limit global warming to well below 2°C by the end of the century. Green growth policies dominate the climate change mitigation discourse, but how much can they contribute
A research team has created a picture of historical temperatures in the Arctic, spanning over a thousand years. A new technique and a recently published database of proxy data have been used in the research, and the results are an important contribution to understanding temperature changes now and in the future. The Arctic is the area in the world that is heating up the fastest, through so-called

How can aquathermal energy systems support a sustainable energy transition in the European Union? This will be explored in a new EU Interreg North Sea Region project, WaterWarmth, which seeks to raise awareness about the possibilities of sustainable heating and cooling solutions based on aquathermal energy and integrate them into existing renewable energy systems across the North Sea region. Aquat
