Small sensors do a big job. Increasing numbers of things can now be controlled and measured, detected and regulated via small sensors on machines, in nature or in and on our bodies. These sensors gather and transmit large amounts of information via wireless communication, while requiring very little electrical power. To reduce electricity consumption, researchers must work with each tiny electroni

How should societies adapt to rising seas, floods, and other climate threats? These questions are explored in a new study by LUCSUS researchers. It reveals that the answer is broader than just improved policies – it's about rethinking the very role of law itself. Researchers Ebba Brink, Ana Maria Vargas Falla and Emily Boyd examine how socio-legal processes shape climate vulnerability and resistan

A lab where you can “craft” new materials on the atomic level, bringing together cross-disciplinary scientists to produce nanomaterials and semiconductor components. A neighborhood with major research infrastructures, complementary to each other. And most important: an open environment where academia, industry, and society can meet and collaborate, finding solutions for a sustainable world. Intrig

In a tumour, cancer cells grow and multiply in an uncontrolled manner. However, the cancer cells also need help from other, normal cells for the tumour to develop. This network of ‘helper cells’ is the focus of Kristian Pietras’ research. Two years ago, Kristian Pietras left Karolinska Institutet for Lund, attracted by the opportunity to establish an entirely new research group at Medicon Village.

Dealing with heat is about more than implementing technical solutions such as cold rooms, access to water, green areas and communication systems. Equally, if not more, important is to strengthen social networks, reduce income disparities and eliminate social vulnerability. Sustainability researcher Maryam Nastar comments on the heat wave in Canada and North America based on her research on extreme

Marie Stissing Jensen, PhD student at Lund University and SASNET grantee, travels Sri Lanka and Nepal to better understand the ecosystem of Multi-Stakeholder Partnerships.

Farshid Jalalvand has a PhD in infection biology and vaccine development, and he has appeared frequently in the media during the debate on the Covid-19 vaccine. “When you work, as I do, with vaccines and you understand how they work, it feels important to try to explain it so that people can take decisions based on solid evidence”, he says.

Statins are a cholesterol-lowering drug that almost one million Swedes take to reduce their risk of cardiovascular disease. But could perhaps statins also be used against breast cancer? Cancer researcher Signe Borgquist at least hopes so. Signe Borgquist and her colleagues found that statins had a tumour-inhibiting effect in a study they conducted of 50 women in Lund.
