When we cough and speak we launch droplets and if the person launching these droplets is sick from some kind of virus disease, such as COVID19, the droplets can contain viruses. These viruses have been found to be one of the main contributors to the spreading of the pandemic disease. If we can further understand where these droplets end up we can make more effective protective measures during a pa

Through the DNA analysis of old air samples collected by the Swedish Armed Forces, researchers at Lund University in Sweden can show that spore dispersal of northern mosses has shifted over the past 35 years. It now starts several weeks earlier, revealing how quickly nature’s calendar can reset in line with a warmer climate. When the Swedish military began collecting air samples in the 1960s to re

Med hjälp av data från rymdteleskopet Gaia kan ett internationellt forskarlag visa att stora delar av Vintergatans yttre skiva vibrerar. De säregna krusningarna orsakas av dvärggalaxen Sagittarius som passerade vår galax för mellan 1–2 miljarder år sedan. Vår kosmiska hemvist Vintergatan innehåller mellan 100 och 400 miljarder stjärnor. Astronomer tror att galaxen föddes för 13,6 miljarder år seda

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Why does Lund University manage farms in Skåne? It’s a matter of tradition. From 1666 and for a long time afterwards the entire University was funded by the farms that dowager queen Hedvig Eleonora donated – known as “akademiska hemman” – the academic homesteads. These are still managed by the University and the curre
