Illustration of a network-based biocomputer (Till Korten) Crashing computers or smartphones - and security loopholes that allow hackers to steal millions of passwords - could be prevented if it were possible to design error-free software. To date, this is a problem that neither engineers nor current supercomputers have been able to solve. A major reason for this is the computing power required to

There is a need to facilitate the assessment of aerobic capacity i. e. maximal oxygen uptake capacity (VO2max), as well as to calculate the intensity of training according to the WHO recommendations for

The group’s work includes the development of different methods to study disease models for conditions such as COPD and pulmonary fibrosis. One of the researchers, John Stegmayr, has been awarded SEK 700,000 from the Carl Tesdorpf Foundation

Why do humans and other mammals have two kidneys, but only one heart and one brain? “Because the kidneys are so important, of course!” says Diana Karpman – partly joking and partly serious. As a consultant and professor in nephrology, she really does think these organs are among the most essential in the body. Diana Karpmans work has been very rewarding. In a healthy individual, the kidneys lead a

After your PhD, the clock starts ticking fast. For a young researcher there are no guarantees that you will have a long career in research. Still, you have to give it your all, often while combining it with having small children. There is no time for you to draw up a plan B. In this equation, Pontus Nordenfelt from Future Faculty calls for more honesty and clearer career paths. Pontus Nordenfelt.

Consumers are demanding cheaper clothing while more are becoming aware and reassessing their consumption: second hand rather than “fast fashion”. The sustainability challenges of clothing companies often have to do with long supply chains – and the consumers’ demands. But together, consumers, businesses and politicians can change the fashion industry, according to Johan Jansson, researcher in busi

Data gathering for European climate research goes on around the clock at the University’s Hyltemossa research station. The tallest of its two masts reaches as high as 150 metres straight up into the sky. Every other week, the station’s staff must climb to the top of the mast to clean two sensors. Recently, intensive work has been conducted on the lower mast to install equipment to study how the em

Marlene Malmström. Photo: Åsa Hansdotter Although patient influence in healthcare has gradually started to increase, the role of the patient's next of kin is still very limited. Despite the fact that the disease affects the whole family, public healthcare often does not utilise the patient's relatives as a resource.

The four subtypes (Image: Jacob Vogel) Alzheimer's disease is characterized by the abnormal accumulation and spread of the tau protein in the brain. An international study can now show how tau spreads according to four distinct patterns that lead to different symptoms with different prognoses of the affected individuals. The study was published in Nature Medicine. “In contrast to how we have so fa
