These are busy times for atomic physicist Anne L’Huillier. Earlier this year, she received the prestigious Wolf Prize – perhaps not as widely known among the general public, but within the field of physics it is considered second only to the Nobel Prize. Anne L’Huillier was honoured for her contribution to ultrafast laser science and attosecond physics. “I haven’t really taken it all in yet. I hav

AI, artificial intelligence, is trendy. But where does the boundary go between humankind and machine and what should we use AI for? “It’s time to ask ourselves what humankind possesses that machines do not. How can they complement each other, rather than compete?” asks philosopher Jonna Bornemark. Will your future colleagues have human intelligence – or perhaps artificial? It may sound like a stra

Mathematics Professor Kalle Åström studies the future of agriculture with the help of artificial intelligence (AI). He develops mathematical models to optimise harvests and contribute to climate-friendly agriculture. Artificial intelligence and agriculture may seem like two different worlds, but not for Kalle Åström. On the contrary, he sees synergies and is keen to bring the two together. The Pro

There is widespread agreement among the physicists and chemists for their establishment in Science Village to take place simultaneously and as soon as possible. There are also proposals for how the two departments could work together. Leif Bülow, head of the Department of Chemistry, describes the forthcoming establishment and merger as an incredible opportunity and says the vast majority of those

The results of the election in September may have an impact on academic freedom and the independence of universities from political power. The principle of keeping an arm's length between politics and higher education and research is increasingly being called into question. “I think we are currently in a situation in which the most important thing is not for universities to receive more money, but

They come from different academic disciplines but have all ended up at the Centre for Economic Demography at Lund University. Join Ingrid van Dijk, Finn Hedefalk and Björn Eriksson in a conversation about the conditions for early-career researchers, learning from senior colleagues, and passing the torch on. “One of the most enjoyable parts of our work is learning from others.” These words belong t

Sociologist of religion Linnea Jensdotter conducts research on the role of religion in politics. She has analysed 20,000 Facebook comments on articles from Sweden’s biggest news sites. Her analysis shows that religion is becoming more politicised. Some comments point to religion to assert “Swedish values”. Others display a genuine interest and a willingness to discuss. “What surprised me was that

The idea that research results should be simplified and related to a media logic when being communicated to the public is challenged in a new report on research communication. “It is just as important, if not more so, to provide an understanding of what lies behind the results – of the knowledge and the methods used,” says organisational researcher Anna Jonsson. She has been involved in the recent

A meeting at the kitchen table, with lots of coffee and snus. And a donation of SEK 250 million. That’s what happened when Ingvar Kamprad met LTH’s dean in 1998 to talk about the future of industrial design education at the University. The kitchen table belonged to the then dean of LTH Thomas Johannesson, who had invited the founder of IKEA to his house to discuss a collaboration between the desig

Five years after the opening of the prestigious Wallenberg Centre for Molecular Medicine, nothing has turned out as planned. The “tandem pairs” that were supposed to develop research together are now cheating on each other with other researchers. Private and work life have become intertwined and families often barbecue together. It’s a cold Sunday afternoon and the ground is covered in a thin laye

Poverty reduction globally is one of the UN’s primary goals. But how can wealth and economic development be measured in a smart way? Artificial intelligence, AI, and satellite photos are able to give more effective and precise measurements, but will remote sensing technology ever be able to replace time-consuming interview surveys? In rich countries, GDP is the most common measure of a country’s w

En katalysator som kommer att modernisera naturvetenskapliga fakulteten, både i Brunnshög och på Sölvegatan. Dekan Sven Lidin må ha blivit ”närsynt, lönnfet och medelålders” under sina tio år i symbios med Science Village. Men hans framtidsvisioner är vitalare än någonsin. Det är en sådan där blek septemberförmiddag då de digitala mötena avlöser varandra. Men några minuter över 11 kommer naturvete

I ett projekt vid Lunds universitet tränas en AI-modell till att hitta de bröstcancerpatienter som kan avstå ingrepp i armhålan. Modellen analyserar tidigare outnyttjad information i mammografibilder, och ringar med hög träffsäkerhet in den individuella risken för metastaser i armhålan. I en nyligen avslutad studie visar modellen att drygt 40 procent av dagens armhåleingrepp skulle kunna undvikas.
