Cake and a packed Rydberg Hall set the tone when Fysicum celebrated its 75th anniversary. The Department of Physics invited guests to a party, and the audience was treated to a dizzying journey through history, presented by Professor Erik Swietlicki. When Lund University was founded in 1666, there was no faculty of natural sciences. Instead, physics was part of the faculty of philosophy, and for a

Last year, researchers in Lund, Sweden, launched a ground-breaking theory that Earth was formed by pebbles that were sucked together into a celestial body over millions of years. This explanatory model has now been further supported by a new study which shows that cosmic dust also played a crucial role in the creation of our planet. It has become known as the pebble accretion theory. The radical i

When the late summer sun falls over Ireland’s Wicklow Mountains, the slopes turn purple with blooming heather. Honeybees are moved to the heathlands for the sought-after heather honey, but their presence affects wild bumblebees. An Irish-Swedish research team has shown in a new study that wild bumblebees change their behaviour and are smaller in size when the number of beehives increases. The rese

Unchanged since 1996, Sweden's hexavalent chromium exposure limit is higher than in several other countries. A research study from Lund University in Sweden shows that even workers exposed to levels of chromium below the Swedish limit display significant cell changes long before cancer develops. A proposal from the Swedish Work Environment Authority to lower the limit has now been put forward. In
