Eldhärjade skogsområden i Norden fortsätter att avge koldioxid långt efter att lågorna slocknat. Utsläppen är till och med betydligt högre efter en brand, än medan den pågår. Det visar en ny unik studie från Lunds universitet, där effekten av den omfattande skogsbranden i Ljusdal den torra sommaren 2018 har studerats. Att klimatförändringen, med stigande temperaturer som följd, ökar risken för sko
Lunds universitet satsar ytterligare miljoner på Centrum för beredskap och resiliens (LUPREP). Pengarna går till forskarskolan som får åtta nya tjänster. Målet är att bli Sveriges ledande nav för forskning, utbildning och samverkan kring samhällets beredskap och motståndskraft. Som ett svar på ökande samhällshot – från klimatförändringar till säkerhetspolitiska förändringar som kräver nya sätt att

What is it like to go from attending design events as a visitor to exhibiting at Milan Design Week? In this personal reflection, Industrial Design student Amandine Quillard shares an honest account of expectations, preparation, teamwork, and new-found inspiration. I had been to different design events before, such as the Paris Design Week, but only as a visitor. It was always very impressive, insp

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Fruit flies can be a scourge in our homes, but to date no-one has known how they became our uninvited lodgers. For decades, researchers have searched for their origins and now a Swedish-American research team has succeeded. They have also discovered that fruit flies in the wild are far more picky than their domesticat

Ordinary table salt can be used to measure radiation from radioactive substances, provided that it is stored in the dark. This has been shown in a new thesis from Lund University in Sweden, where the method has been enhanced and tested on fallout from the nuclear disasters in Fukushima and Chernobyl. “Salt is readily

Since the discovery of graphene twenty years ago, physicists have been looking for materials that consist of two-dimensional layers. This study is about a newly emerging family, the transition metal halides. “Transition metal halides are a new class of van der Waals materials that we have identified as an ideal platform for many-body engineering. We are very enthusiastic about this class of materi

Researchers at Lund University have discovered increased levels of a microRNA in type 2 diabetes, which has a negative effect on insulin secretion. Their experiments on human insulin producing cells in the pancreas also demonstrate that it is possible to increase the insulin secretion by reducing the levels of this microRNA. An important goal of the research is to develop new treatments for people

A research team at Lund University in Sweden has discovered a mechanism that helps acute myeloid leukemia cells to evade the body’s immune system. By developing an antibody that blocks the mechanism, the researchers could restore the immune system’s ability to kill the cancer cells in laboratory trials and in mice.

Heart attacks and strokes are the most common causes of death in the world. One of the biggest risk factors for these diseases consists of elevated levels of blood lipids. Researchers are currently working on developing and testing new methods to help doctors find patients at high risk of these diseases. If proven successful, they could also help patients with diabetes. Many people are unaware of

We need new ways of understanding how people depend on nature in our efforts to protect biodiversity. A new thesis from Lund University in Sweden suggests that we rarely take into account people’s place-based, varied and often emotional relationships with nature. “Up to now, a common approach has been based on cost-benefit analysis, where, for example, a company can compensate for a factory built
