By analyzing DNA with the help of artificial intelligence (AI), an international research team led by Lund University in Sweden has developed a method that can accurately date up to ten-thousand year-old human remains. Accurately dating ancient humans is key when mapping how people migrated during world history.The standard dating method since the 1950s has been radiocarbon dating. The method, whi

Kan du berätta lite om ditt forskningsområde?Jag forskar på sjukdomar och tillstånd i höftleden som drabbar barn men även kan ge smärta och artros i vuxen ålder. Ett exempel på en sådan sjukdom är höftledsdysplasi, vilket innebär att ledskålen i höftleden inte täcker höftkulan tillräckligt. Höftdysplasi förekommer hos 0.5-1% av nyfödda barn i Sverige och upptäcks nästan alltid på BB.

Jordens magnetfält har betydelse när man försöker kartlägga solens aktivitet bakåt i tiden. Det framgår av en ny forskningsstudie. Forskarna har satt fingret på den viktiga ledtråden att jordens magnetfält varierar i styrka mellan norra och södra halvklotet. Forskare från bland annat Lunds universitet har rekonstruerat solens aktivitet över de senaste 9 000 åren. Närmare bestämt har man velat unde
