Artificial intelligence powers everything from facial recognition to self-driving cars, but what does it really take to teach a computer to “see”? Isak Engdahl, who recently defended his doctoral thesis at Lund University, takes us inside the labs where computer vision systems are built, and reveals the human work behind the technology. On Friday 28 November, Isak Engdahl successfully defended his

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. There is an urgent need for agriculture to drastically reduce its negative environmental impacts, while at the same time responding to increasing demand and adapting to a changing climate. For this to be possible, radical change in how we grow our major staple crops is essential. From the 6th through the 10th of May,

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. A forest management method different to those practised today would contribute to greater welfare and wellbeing for society in general, compared with current methods that mainly benefit the forestry industry. This has been shown in a new study by two researchers from Lund University in Sweden. There is an intensive de

Underground fungi play a central role in the fragile ecosystems of atoll islands. The unique symbiotic relationship between these fungi and rainforest trees is vital for the restoration of nature and ultimately for the survival of coral reefs. New research shows how fungi help nutrients to move between the forest and the sea. Palmyra Atoll is a remote and uninhabited cluster of small islands halfw
