The lab that will take us closer to the aviation fuel of the future has now opened. The Jet Engine Lab at the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) makes it possible to conduct full-scale studies on how engines are affected by new fuels – knowledge that will become increasingly important when fossil-based aviation fuels are phased out and replaced by more sustainable alternatives. The Jet Engine Lab is at

David Wästerfors, Veronika Burcar Alm and Erik Hannerz have published an article in New Media & Society dealing with crime case discussions on the Swedish platform Flashback. The article shows how the interactions form a "bumpy" path as the Flashback-writers together try to achieve knowledge, evidence and authority regarding the various crimes being discussed. Much of today's public discussion on

Many of those who are genetically predisposed to develop atrial fibrillation, which dramatically raises the risk of stroke, can be identified with a blood test. This is shown by new research from Lund University in Sweden. The number of people affected by atrial fibrillation is rising rapidly, partly as a result of the ageing population. Over recent years, a research group at Lund University in Sw

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Psychotherapy for panic disorder produces good results, and the effects are lasting. That is the result from a large long-term study from Lund University in Sweden. Two years after treatment were 70 per cent of the patients clearly improved and 45 per cent were remitted. Panic disorder is one of the most common causes

A large amount of lungs donated cannot be used for transplantation. Researchers at Lund Stem Cell Center, Lund University in Sweden and Skåne University Hospital have conducted an animal study bringing hope that more donor lungs could be used in the future. The researchers have launched a pilot study to investigate whether the treatment will have the same positive effects on human beings. About 19

In May and June 2020, more that 300 dead elephants were found in Botswana´s Okavango Delta. Initially it was suspected that poaching was the reason, but it was later shown that they were poisoned by cyanobacteria. This is an increasing environmental problem, and recent work to create a global dataset on algal blooms shows significant changes in the last twenty years. Toxic algal blooms in water, k

Forskare vid Lunds universitet har i en ny observationsstudie tittat på samtliga fall av hjärttransplantationer hos barn under 18 år i Norden mellan 1986 och 2023. Totalt 597 barn ingick i studien, varav 461 transplanterades. Resultaten visar att överlevnaden ökat markant – en utveckling som forskarna kopplar till tekniska framsteg, avancerad teknik och bättre rutiner i vården. Kort om studien:597

Researchers at Lund University are developing a new type of gene therapy that reprograms cancer cells within tumors into immune cells that can help the immune system fight cancer. Their approach, now published in the journal Science, could lead to more effective treatments for hard-to-treat cancers.

Investigation of a metre-long front flipper, uniquely preserved with fossilized soft tissues, has revealed that the giant ichthyosaur Temnodontosaurus was equipped with flow control devices that likely served to suppress self-generated noise when foraging in dimly lit pelagic environments about 183 million years ago. Thus, this visually guided megapredator relied on underwater stealth—or ‘silent s
