Trots lagkrav går bara mellan 5 till 10 procent av arbetstagare som utsätts för vibrationer på medicinska kontroller. Det visar en ny studie från Lunds universitet. Resultaten tyder på brister i hur kontrollerna genomförs i praktiken. Hand-arm-vibrationssyndrom orsakas av arbete med vibrerande verktyg och kan leda till permanenta nerv- och kärlskador. Syndromet utvecklas smygande och kan i värsta

With the help of mirrors, placed only a few hundred nanometers apart, a research team has managed to use light more efficiently. The finding could eventually be useful for controlling solar energy conversion during photosynthesis, or other reactions driven by light. For example, one application could be converting carbon dioxide into fuel. The sunlight that hits Earth for one hour is almost equiva

By analyzing DNA with the help of artificial intelligence (AI), an international research team led by Lund University in Sweden has developed a method that can accurately date up to ten-thousand year-old human remains. Accurately dating ancient humans is key when mapping how people migrated during world history. The standard dating method since the 1950s has been radiocarbon dating. The method, wh

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
