A few sharp minds working together for almost an entire summer. The task: to tackle the problem that a couple of days of work generates so much data, that it would take months to analyse. Synchrotron X-ray diffraction is a technique that allows us to obtain precise and detailed structural information of materials and their properties, and to fundamentally understand physical processes at the atomi

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Predators are not only a deadly threat to many animals, they also affect potential prey negatively simply by being nearby. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have studied what happens to the prey’s immune system when they are forced to expend a large amount of their energy on avoiding being eaten. To protect the

For generations, Indigenous and riverine communities in the Amazon have relied on deep ecological knowledge to live in harmony with the rainforest. But, as climate disasters reshape the woodlands, local expertise is often overlooked in environmental policies and scientific studies. A new research project aims to change that. In 2023 and 2024, the Amazon faced severe droughts. Rivers dried up, cutt

Pancreatic cancer is currently very difficult to detect while it is still resectable. A new blood test developed by researchers at Lund University in Sweden, Herlev Hospital, Knight Cancer Center and Immunovia AB, can detect pancreatic cancer in the very earliest stages of the disease. The results have been published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology. Due to diffuse symptoms, pancreatic cancer i

In 2015, over one million people were forced to flee from war and persecution to seek asylum in Europe. More than 160,000 refugees, including over 70,000 children, applied for asylum in Sweden. To ensure that they receive a secure education and future in their new country, the Swedish school system needs to invest to develop the skills of school staff concerning reception. That is the standpoint o

In a unique study carried out in drinking water pipes in Sweden, researchers from Lund University and the local water company tested what would happen if chlorine was omitted from drinking water. The result? An increase in bacteria, of course, but after a while something surprising happened: a harmless predatory bacteria grew in numbers and ate most of the other bacteria. The study suggests that c

As certain tumor cells are able to conceal themselves in the body, it often means that patients with aggressive cancers experience a recurrence of the cancer after treatment. By programming genetically modified killer immune cells to seek and destroy the hiding tumor cells and tumor stem cells, it is hoped that we can develop more effective treatment options.

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Astronomers from Lund University in Sweden have now found the explanation to a recent mystery at the centre of the Milky Way galaxy: the high levels of scandium discovered last spring near the galaxy’s giant black hole were in fact an optical illusion.

In a newly published study in Nature Communications, Emma Hammarlund and her research team at Lund University detail how daily fluctuations in oxygen levels influenced the rise of animal life. Their findings offer new insights as to how dramatic daily shifts in oxygen availability and stress may have played a central role in the evolution of complex organisms on Earth. “Now, when we explore animal

Tri-national team of researchers from NanoLund, the Russian Academy of Science, and the Technical University of Dresden in Germany has developed a new methodology for the study of lead halide perovskites. Metal halide perovskites have been under intense investigation over the last decade due to the remarkable rise in their performance in optoelectronic devices such as solar cells or light-emitting

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 long-lived and not prone to immediate decay. There is a theory in nucle
