Worldwide, coastal river deltas are home to more than half a billion people, supporting fisheries, agriculture, cities, and fertile ecosystems. In a unique study covering 49 deltas globally, researchers from LUCSUS and Utrecht University have identified the most critical risks to deltas in the future. The research shows that deltas face multiple risks, and that population growth and poor environme

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have discovered a direct link between the protein aggregation in nerve cells that is typical for neurodegenerative diseases, and the regulation of gene expression in Huntington’s disease. The results pave the way for the development of new treatment strategies for diseases that involve impairment of the basic mechanism by which the body’s cells can break do

Korrosionsresistenta metalliska material behövs bland annat till raketmotorer, kärnkraftverk och kemiindustrin. Ofta används en legering av nickel, krom och molybden. Men en ny studie visar att denna legering rostar på ett sätt som tidigare inte varit känt. Byggnader, transportmedel, konstverk och musikinstrument – nästan överallt i samhället stöter vi på metalliska material. Det som begränsar liv
