For the first time, researchers have been able to prove that city lights limit the ability of nocturnal animals to navigate by natural light in the night sky. Instead, they are forced to use streetlamps, neon light or floodlights to orient themselves. The findings are published in Current Biology. Some animals, including migratory birds, seals and moths, use light from the moon, stars and Milky Wa

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. As odd as it sounds, many scientists have attempted to place extremely small diamonds inside living cells. Why? Because nanodiamonds are consistently bright and can give us unique knowledge about the inner life of cells over a long time. Now physics researchers Elke Hebisch and Christelle Prinz from the strategic rese

The results are valuable for the development of drugs, but also for the production of bioenergy, for example. It is already known that bacteria can create an electric current outside their own cell, known as ex

Internationalisation in higher education is currently undergoing major changes. Geopolitical tensions, increased government regulation, economic pressures and new demands for social relevance are affecting universities around the world. At the same time, global student mobility continues to grow, but in new directions and under different conditions than before. For Lund University, these developme

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed methods to simulate how breast tumours grow and how breast tissue changes over time. By digitally replicating both the anatomy of the breast and the development of tumours, new, advanced imaging technology can be tested more quickly and safely than is currently possible – without exposing patients to radiation or subjecting them to further ex

Here is a brief update on what's going on in the salary movement, when this year's salary review might start at Lund University and what the different steps are. Industry "marks the spot" Some time ago, this year's negotiations between the parties in the competitive industry were finalised. The result of these negotiations is usually called the "mark" and often constitutes the starting point for t

Det tar lång tid, upp till flera decennier, innan fördelarna med ekologisk odling slår igenom fullt ut på mark som tidigare brukats konventionellt, visar en ny studie från Lunds universitet. Efter trettio år hade växtarterna runtomkring den odlade grödan fördubblats på gårdar med ekologisk odling jämfört med på konventionella gårdar. Det är välkänt att ekologiskt jordbruk gynnar biologisk mångfald

Den vanliga föreställningen att äldre generellt är teknikskeptiska utmanas i en ny avhandling. Tvärtom visar många äldre personer intresse, särskilt när tekniken upplevs som meningsfull, lätt att använda och relevant i vardagen. Men så väl yngre som äldre uttrycker oro för teknikens miljöpåverkan och kostnader. Det är inte åldern i sig som påverkar attityden till digital teknik, utan andra faktore

Ett forskarteam från Lunds universitets diabetescentrum (LUDC) har genomfört en omfattande analys av de genetiska skillnaderna mellan olika grupper med personer med fetma. Forskarna definierade i studien två fetmaprofiler med olika risk för bland annat typ 2-diabetes. Fetma är ett globalt folkhälsoproblem som påverkar flera hundra miljoner människor runt om i världen oberoende av kön och ålder. De

A lot of research explains which diets may reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Much research remains to be done about how our genes respond to the foods we eat. A new study led by researchers at Lund University adds to evidence that variations in the AMY1 gene may affect the way the body breaks down starchy foods. Unhealthy food habits are risk factors for developing type 2 diabetes. An

The year is 2072, and the worst storm in two hundred years is about to hit Scania, in the south of Sweden. In Skanör-Falsterbo, a family is celebrating Christmas when the storm alarm sounds. The waves draw closer to the house, and the family dash towards the nearby church. What happens next is the result of many decades of decisions: did we work together, or did the lines of conflict become even d

Climate researchers often emphasise the fact that reducing carbon emissions is in everyone’s best interest, and should involve all of us. But how good are they at minimising their own carbon footprint? A new study carried out jointly by Lund University in Sweden and the University of Lausanne in Switzerland shows that some of them use up half their annual carbon allowance in a single week. There a
