A lab where you can “craft” new materials on the atomic level, bringing together cross-disciplinary scientists to produce nanomaterials and semiconductor components. A neighborhood with major research infrastructures, complementary to each other. And most important: an open environment where academia, industry, and society can meet and collaborate, finding solutions for a sustainable world. Intrig

Researchers at Lund University have discovered increased levels of a microRNA in type 2 diabetes, which has a negative effect on insulin secretion. Their experiments on human insulin producing cells in the pancreas also demonstrate that it is possible to increase the insulin secretion by reducing the levels of this microRNA. An important goal of the research is to develop new treatments for people

PhD candidate Heraclitos Muhire's research focuses on politicians leaving politics and joining private companies. Movements between business and politics are almost uncontrolled, and the conflicts and consequences are understudied. Around the 2014 elections, Heraclitos Muhire noticed a potential conflict of interest as the outgoing government moved into high-level positions in the same sectors whe
NEW THESIS ON ULTRA-FAST PHYSICS: By firing a short laser pulse at an atom, an electron can be ejected from its previous context. What happens to it, where does it go? In his thesis, Hugo Laurell develops a method to study ejected electrons and their behaviour. His work may have implications for the development of new materials and for photochemistry. Hi Hugo, you will defend your thesis soon, wha

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Genom att övergå till resultatbaserade miljöersättningar sporras jordbrukare att utföra miljöåtgärder som gör mest miljönytta och inte, som idag, göra sådant som stör den ordinarie produktionen minst. Det kan till exempel handla om att placera så kallade skyddszoner på rätt ställen. Det menar William Sidemo Holm som

Fakta och forskning måste väga tyngre när framtidens städer planeras när det gäller grönska. En ny forskningsartikel efterlyser ett paradigmskifte – från ”godtyckliga beslut” till mer evidensbaserad stadsplanering, där stadens natur förvaltas som en resurs för både människa och biologisk mångfald. Den biologiska mångfalden är under press och många arter riskerar att försvinna som en följd av mänsk
