Increase in forest fires may damage the crucial ozone layer

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

US, Europe subsidize rapidly expanding petrochemical industry

With the market for fossil fuels in decline, the oil industry is investing heavily in the chemical and plastics industry instead. The strategy seems to be working: the plastics industry is growing faster than the global economy. Multibillion-dollar subsidies from states and publicly funded banks, combined with weak legislation, are reasons behind the rapid growth, according to a new report from Lu

UrMax has come home

It weighs 1 265 kilograms, is nearly 70 years old and gave rise to MAX IV.

“We cannot assume that a doctoral student or researcher is better because they have attended more international conferences”

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 incorporated in recruitments that a candidate who has travelled extensively brings qu

How good is our indoor environment?

We spend 90 per cent of our time indoors. We can both exercise and shop without taking a step outdoors and the indoor trend is on the increase, despite the fact that we have little understanding of the air we are breathing. “The health effects may not be detected for a number of years”, says LTH researcher Aneta Wierzbicka, who is coordinating an interdisciplinary theme at the Pufendorf Institute.

Research gives hope to gastric patients

15 per cent of the population – almost one in seven Swedes – suffer from digestive problems in the form of bloating, abdominal pain, constipation and diarrhoea. But since these problems are not life-threatening, and the status of the digestive tract is low, medical researchers and funders have shown only moderate interest. Now this seems to be changing. Bodil Ohlsson gives hope to gastric patients

Hidden treasures of choir stalls made an exhibition

Love poems, playing cards and secret notes. For half a millennium, people who have attended mass at Lund Cathedral have found ways to pass the time when the sermons felt too slow. In a few years, the Lund University Historical Museum will introduce a new cabinet of curiosities, containing notes and strange objects which have fallen down or been hidden between the choir stalls inside the Cathedral.

Reopened museum looks to the future

The Historical Museum at Lund University reopened during the first weekend of December after almost one year of renovation and rebuilding. “It feels great to be able to welcome new and previous visitors to the museum at last. We hope that they will make new discoveries about the past and find new approaches to our collections, while it will be easier to find your way here and around the museum”, s

UN Climate Report: How vulnerable are we and how can we adapt?

How vulnerable is humanity in the face of climate change? And how have people around the world already been impacted? These are some of the questions to be answered on 28 February by the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Two researchers from Lund University participated in the final report – Martina Angela Caretta and Emily Boyd. For three years, approximately three hundred top resea

Vice-Chancellor: “It’s important for managers to be able to make uncomfortable decisions”

Vice-Chancellor Torbjörn von Schantz is convinced that leadership at the University is a momentous question. “If we are perceived as being incapable of making uncomfortable decisions, there is a risk that we will see the same changes here as in other places such as Denmark – that collegial leadership is replaced by pure New Public Management.” One example is the concern that has been expressed in

ERC Advanced Grant for research on ferroelectric transistors

Lars-Erik Wernersson, professor of nanoelectronics, has received an ERC Advanced Grant for the integration of new materials into the high-performance, energy-efficient transistors and circuit solutions of the future. Silicon is the current material of choice for most transistors and other components. The problem is that in certain cases these parts consume a lot of energy and get hot, which can le
