Irene Margrethe Kaltenborn In KHM1 gallery IreneMargrethe Kaltenborn´s MFA exhibition Choreographies towards loss set the stage for the audience to enter artworks which echoed loss and a void, full of wonderment and poetics. The gallery was dimly lit and kept minimal, leaving room for the viewer to enter the web of interconnectedness between animals, humans and nature. What has the process b
"The hybrid antibody is significantly better than the body's own antibodies at fighting both streptococcus and SARS-CoV-2", say the researchers behind the discovery Arman Izadi and Pontus Nordenfelt.

“High-income countries, such as the United States, have sharply reduced their use but the gas still accounts for more than 60% of their climate emissions from anaesthetic gases", says Talbot.

A study published in The Lancet Planetary Health led by Lund University shows

Anita Wisén. Photo: Åsa Hansdotter. In order to be able to prescribe the appropriate dose of physical activity to patients, healthcare professionals need to consider a range of individual factors. 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

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

The scent of a madeleine dipped in lime blossom tea awakened a flood of childhood memories for the main character in Marcel Proust’s famous novel about ‘lost time’. The madeleine is an example of a clue for the memory. In Proust’s case, the clue worked subconsciously, in other cases we can use clues to consciously try to recall the memories for which we are searching. Mikael Johansson puts a gel o
