How do you spark curiosity about science in classrooms and workplaces? One answer is Borrow a Researcher — a national outreach initiative that makes it easy for schools, non-profit organisations, and workplaces to meet active researchers. Twice a year, participants can book a researcher for a visit, either on site or online, to learn about research topics or what it is like to work as a scientist.

Can innovation strengthen research? Heiner Linke, professor of nanophysics and member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, has done exactly that by combining research and innovation. His own attitude towards utilisation and innovation has evolved from a sense of duty to passion: “Now I think it's genuinely exciting.” Do you see increasing integration of innovation within research?“Twenty year
In the 1960s, Europe’s largest steel plant was built in Taranto, Italy. While transforming the local economy, it generated pollution that has been linked to illness and premature death among residents. In his doctoral thesis, Carlo Nicoli Aldini shows how law has both contributed to the crisis and been used as an instrument to seek justice by the local population. Carlo Nicoli Aldini recently comp

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have discovered an antibody with the potential to protect against Strep A infection, as well as a rare form of antibody binding, that leads to an effective immune response against bacteria. The discovery could explain why so many Group A strep vaccines have failed. The results are published in EMBO Molecular medicine. Group A streptococci have several ways

Popular Science SummaryWe are all familiar with the idea that living organisms are made of atoms and molecules. But not everyone knows that one of those molecules that are crucial for our lives are proteins. And no, they aren’t just something we have to eat. Proteins are an essential molecule which form our cells, together with fat, sugars, and nucleic acids. Proteins are the workforce of the cell

In March 2015, a valuable globe of Mars was stolen from the Astronomy Library. After disappearing without a trace for almost a decade, it suddenly turned up at an antique dealer in Stockholm. The astronomical treasure has finally been returned to Lund. Astronomers have been using globes to visualise moons and planets ever since the 18th century. As telescopes improved in the late 19th century, int
