The exhibition “Coded Threads” traces threads from the origin of the digital, the woven fabric, into today’s and tomorrow’s digital realities. The loom is the basis of binary coding: the thread can go over or under the warp, be a one or a zero.

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

Många hävdar att vi människor gärna förmänskligar djurs beteenden. Men hur är det egentligen med skrattet – är det något unikt för människan? Kognitionsforskaren Peter Gärdenfors förklarar varför vi ofta missar när papegojan brister ut i skratt och varför slapstick är en skämtform som både människor och djur uppskattar. – Aristoteles menade att det bara var människan som skrattar, men han hade fel

Ljudet av kattugglor får unga rödhakar att äta mindre under sin flytt söderut. En ny studie från Lunds universitet visar hur hotet från nattaktiva rovdjur påverkar fåglarnas beteende – och i förlängningen deras överlevnad. När unga rödhakar ger sig av på sin första flytt söderut under hösten gör de regelbundna stopp längs vägen för att vila och fylla på sina energireserver. Men varje rast innebär

Att lagra solenergi i form av bränsle är något forskare hoppas ska kunna ersätta fossila drivmedel i framtiden. Ett forskarlag i Lund kan nu ha löst ett långvarigt problem som begränsat utvecklingen. Genom att visa hur solenergi kan utnyttjas mer effektivt i järnbaserade system öppnas möjligheten för billigare och mer hållbara solbränslen. – Vi kan nu se mekanismer som tidigare varit dolda, som gö
