When you are cleaning your car with your high-pressure washer have you ever considered how it works? Well we have and to figure that out we need to see how the liquid looks like in 3D. As is seen in the video above we have 3D reconstructed the surface of a cone-like liquid using a technique developed at the division of combustion physics. This technique apply lasers and a single high-speed camera

Effects of a warmer Arctic are not only negative for the climate, according to a new thesis from the Centre for Environmental and Climate Science at Lund University, Sweden. Modelling showed that moving the tree line upwards could increase carbon storage, as trees sequester more carbon in their biomass than tundra plants. But the results are uncertain. The Arctic – the area north of the Arctic Cir

All employees and students at Lund University are welcome to the X Lab with their own projects, course work and ideas. For a long time, Lund University has lacked an open meeting place for staff and students to gather and work on their own projects/course work or share knowledge. In response to this, LTH has built up the X Lab, whose activities are based on collaboration and co-creation. The X Lab

Lund University has been sliding down the lists of the three main university ranking organisations for several years. Today, we make only one of the top 100 lists, and even then with a mere five places above the 100 cut-off. Daniel J. Guhr is an expert on the importance of these rankings and knows what the consequences can be if the downward trend continues. “Losing a top 100 position in all three

PhD student Steinunn Knúts Önnudóttir not only has a background as a director, writer, theologian, life coach and actor. When she started her PhD in Lund, she was also an academic dean in her native Iceland. With the question 'How little is enough?' she has explored how little it really takes to create an artistic, transformative experience. Friday is the day of her defence. Steinunn Knúts Önnudót

Israel is in shock. The most basic task of a country's defence forces is to guard and protect its borders. Yet the Israeli army was caught completely off guard when thousands of terrorists entered the country to murder and take hostages.

Researchers in Lund have discovered an antitoxin mechanism that seems to be able to neutralise hundreds of different toxins and may protect bacteria against virus attacks. The mechanism has been named Panacea, after the Greek goddess of medicine whose name has become synonymous with universal cure. The understanding of bacterial toxin and antitoxin mechanisms will be crucial for the future success

New research by Teppo Lindfors shows how the sudden collapse of Russian censorship in Finland in 1917 helped spark a revolutionary participation cascade. As radical ideas spread through newspapers and local networks, growing public belief that resistance was possible helped push the country toward civil war. Revolutions often seem to erupt out of nowhere, transforming stable societies into scenes
