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

For the first time, researchers have been able to measure the quantum state of electrons ejected from atoms that have absorbed high-energy light pulses. This is thanks to a new measurement technique developed by researchers at Lund University in Sweden. The results can provide a better understanding of the interaction between light and matter. When high-energy light with a very short frequency in

It is a catalyst that will modernise the Faculty of Science, both at Brunnshög and Sölvegatan.

Hösten 1968 kom det första numret av LUM ut. Från att ha varit ett rent informationsblad utvecklades LUM under 70-talet till en journalistisk tidning som var tidigt ute med att anställa vetenskapsjournalister. I takt med att internet vann mark glesades utgivningen ut, fast LUM har enligt läsarundersökningar ändå haft sin relevans. Men nu läggs tidningen ner och vi ser tillbaka på åren som gått. De

Forskare vid Lunds universitet och DTU i Köpenhamn har upptäckt enzymer i tjocktarmen som, när de blandas med röda blodkroppar, kan klippa bort delar av de kolhydrater som skiljer våra ABO-blodgrupper från varandra. Metoden tar oss närmare drömmen om ett universalblod för alla. Sedan länge är det känt att blod från olika individer inte kan blandas hur som helst utan risk för allvarliga konsekvense
