SHREC the detector is inspected by Pavel Golubev (Photo: Dirk Rudolph) Scientists have found an alternative way to produce atoms of the superheavy element livermorium. The new method opens up the possibility of creating another element that could be the heaviest in the world so far: number 120. The search for new elements comes from the dream of finding a variant that is sufficiently stable to be

Join us on a journey through the centuries, a hunt for the point where the present and the past merge. The history of the University is alive and well among us. After all, it is the same city, the same streets and buildings now as then. The only thing that distinguishes us from our colleagues from the 1600s, from a purely geographical point of view, is a measurable stretch in space: 350 years of U

The use of technologies to support teaching was essential during the pandemic. But what can they do to support education at a campus university in ‘normal’ times? Here are four reasons why the university might want to plan strategically for the use of digital learning to enhance campus experiences.

Åsa Petersén works hard at i to find treatment that slows down Huntington's disease. A person who carries the mutant gene will at some point in his or her life develop the deadly Huntington's disease. This brain disease can be inherited from generation to generation and begins insidiously, making it increasingly difficult to regulate emotions, thoughts, then movements. There is no treatment that s

It is unclear which parts of physics and chemistry will move to Science Village. Vision image: Science Village What has been the main option for a long time – i.e. relocating basically all physics and chemistry to Science Village – is no longer relevant.

Last year was the warmest year on record and 2024 is on track to be even warmer. Democracy is in decline and food insecurity is increasing as a result of military conflicts, economic crises and extreme weather. The ability of the United Nations to act globally is significantly weaker than before owing to the geopolitical situation. This comes at a time when we really need international cooperation
