Yet a university is so much more than that; it might be easiest to capture the essence of the universe that is a university by summarising the year that has just ended. It is a razor sharp, teeming, testing, reflective universe that pushes boundaries in disruptive, eloquent and powerf

At least a third of the glaciers in the Himalayan range could melt due to climate change. This will have severe consequences for almost 2 billion people, including the village communities in Nepal, since the glaciers are an important water and energy source. Researcher Mine Islar is examining the future of renewable energy through micro-hydro power in Nepal by looking at collective action to find

Gaining access to Brief Admission by self-referral reduced the need for emergency care in adolescents with severe self-harm. The method has previously been introduced for adults, and a study led by researchers from Lund University has now explored whether the method could also be used for children and young people. The results are published in The Lancet Psychiatry. Most children and young people

Biologisk bekämpning kan användas för att minska mängden farliga kemikalier i jordbruket. Skadedjurs naturliga fiender och predatorer används istället för traditionella bekämpningsmedel för att få bukt med skadedjuren i odlingarna. Men ny forskning vid Lunds universitet visar att förändringar i jordbruket och landskapets utformning kan ha oväntade konsekvenser för skadedjuren och deras naturliga f

LU Holdings nya bolag MxWaves har tagit fram en ny patenterad metodik för mätning av elektromagnetisk strålning. Bakom MxWaves står en forskartrio från institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknik vid LTH. Forskningsgruppens uppfinning bygger på en metod där elektromagnetisk strålning, som i grund och botten är energi, koncentreras och identifieras via en tunn metayta bestående av små metalle
