Det är sedan tidigare klarlagt att beröring kan utlösa stressreaktioner hos växter. Men de molekylära förklaringsmodellerna har hittills varit spartanska. Men nu har forskare hittat nya genetiska nycklar till varför växter reagerar så kraftfullt på mekanisk stimulering. När du vattnar dina trädgårdsväxter reagerar de direkt på en biokemisk nivå. Och när du låter din knivsegg kapa en rabarberstång

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Extensive power outages and satellite blackouts that affect air travel and the internet are some of the potential consequences of massive solar storms. These storms are believed to be caused by the release of enormous amounts of stored magnetic energy due to changes in the magnetic field of the sun’s outer atmosphere

A research team led by Lund University in Sweden has provided an important clue to the origin of the element Ytterbium in the Milky Way, by showing that the element largely originates from supernova explosions. The groundbreaking research also provides new opportunities for studying the evolution of our galaxy. The study is published in Astronomy & Astrophysics. Ytterbium is one of four elements i

Research at Lund University in Sweden has found a new way to create nano-sized magnetic particles using ultrafast laser light pulses. The discovery could pave the way for new and more energy-efficient technical components and become useful in the quantum computers of the future.

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. A new study from Lund University in Sweden shows that plant-eating insects affect forest ecosystems considerably more than previously thought. Among other things, the insects are a factor in the leaching of nutrients from soil and increased emissions of carbon dioxide. The researchers also establish that the temperatu
