Where do your online shopping returns end up? In the bin, new research finds
For e-commerce companies, it is cheaper to throw away returned items rather than selling them again. In a new study, researchers at Lund University in Sweden interviewed members of the textile and electronics industries in Europe, hoping to better understand a problem that is snowballing, yet has been the subject of little research. Internet shopping is increasingly commonplace, and with it comes

Stress may trigger male defence against predators
Only males among the fish species crucian carp have developed a strategy to protect themselves from hungry predators, according to a new study from Lund University in Sweden. The explanation could lie in that the surrounding environment affects the stress system in males and females differently. Some animals have evolved the ability to swiftly change appearance to defend themselves against predato

ERC grants for research on diabetes and immunotherapy
Two innovation-driven research projects at Lund University have been awarded a Proof of Concept Grant by the European Research Council, ERC. They relate to biomarkers for predicting who benefits from metformin in the treatment of type 2 diabetes and new technology to enable powerful and focused therapies for the treatment of solid tumours. Charlotte Ling has been awarded an ERC Proof of Concept Gr

Avatar provides live signing on stage in unique project
With enormous eyes, a huge mouth and defined, prominent eyebrows, an avatar in the form of a ghost using sign language in real time takes the stage. During 2022, Riksteatern Crea – one of the world’s leading sign language theatres – and researchers at Lund University Humanities Lab trialled new innovative and creative solutions in order to make the technology work for this multi-dimensional theatr

What you do in your garden to help pollinators works
Have you made adjustments to your garden to make it more welcoming for pollinators? If so, you have probably made a valuable contribution, according to a new study from Lund University. The researchers evaluated the national ‘Operation: Save the Bees’ campaign, and their results indicate that what private individuals do in their gardens really can make a positive difference. The fact that pollinat

New type of solar cell is being tested in space
Physics researchers at Lund University in Sweden recently succeeded in constructing small solar radiation-collecting antennas – nanowires – using three different materials that are a better match for the solar spectrum compared with today’s silicon solar cells. As the nanowires are light and require little material per unit of area, they are now to be installed for tests on satellites, which are p

Genes decide the willow warbler’s migration routes
Since antiquity, humans have been fascinated by birds’ intercontinental migratory journeys. A new study from Lund University in Sweden shows that two areas in their genome decide whether a willow warbler flies across the Iberian Peninsula to western Africa, or across the Balkans to eastern and southern Africa. Researchers have long known that the behaviour that causes songbirds to migrate in a spe

ERC Consolidator grants for detection of microwave photons and X-ray microscopy
Ville Maisi and Martin Bech have been awarded prestigious ERC Consolidator Grants. Over a five-year period, the two researchers will conduct projects focusing on the detection of microwave photons and X-ray microscopy. Ville Maisi, senior lecturer at the Deparment of Physics at Lund University’s Faculty of Engineering (LTH) and researcher at NanoLund, is to receive SEK 28 million for his project,

ERC Synergy grant for research on the dynamic interactions between molecules
The interactions between molecules are the foundation of life and how we treat diseases using medicinal drugs. But what does it actually look like when a protein meets another molecule and binds to it? A new research project that has been awarded EUR 8.7 million by the European Research Council now aims to shed light on this elusive process. The research team consists of researchers from Lund Univ

Young scientists eager to influence policy makers on biodiversity
We need to prioritise nature even if there are other conflicting interests – biodiversity is essential to all of us on the planet and ultimately to our health and wellbeing. The statement comes from Maria Blasi Romero, researcher in Biodiversity and Conservation at Lund University. “I went to COP15 to learn about the processes and how to share my research with those who can make use of the results

Metabolic health plays role in obesity-related cancers
For up to 40 years, nearly 800,000 people from Sweden, Norway and Austria have been tracked based on how their BMI and metabolic health – that is, their blood pressure, blood glucose levels and blood fats - affect the risk of suffering from obesity-related cancers. The study shows that those who are metabolically unhealthy are at a higher risk of certain forms of cancer, regardless of their body w

Complications in pregnancy linked to increased risk of heart disease
Certain complications during pregnancy bring an increased risk of heart disease later on. However, there is still much to learn about how arteriosclerosis develops between pregnancy and heart disease later in life. A large new study led by researchers from Lund University in Sweden shows that narrowing and calcification of the blood vessels of the heart are more common in women previously affected
