20 years of measurements are only the beginning. Long-term measurements over several decades are crucial to enable predictions of how airborne particles affect the future climate, according to Lund University researcher Erik Ahlberg. “Long-term measurements are important to prove that various climate initiatives actually work. Say we were to close all coal power plants today – with our time-series

In the gigantic particle accelerator known as the Large Hadron Collider, LHC, at the CERN laboratory in Switzerland and France, protons almost reach the speed of light before colliding with each other. The results provide us with new knowledge about the origins of the universe, its smallest components, dark matter and possible clues to dark energy. The Large Hadron Collider, LHC, at the CERN labor

Modern computers are a triumph of technology. A single computer chip contains billions of nanometre-scaled transistors that operate extremely reliably and at a rate of millions of operations per second. However, this high speed and reliability come at the cost of significant energy consumption: data centres and household IT appliances like computers and smartphones account for around 3% of global
