The energy intensive industry, producing basic materials, is responsible for 25 to 30% of today's global greenhouse gas emissions. The future supply of GHG neutral basic materials (e.g. steel, cement, aluminium, plastics, etc.) is a necessity for building a sustainable modern society. Deep decarbonisation of the energy intensive industries is technically possible but will require a major systemic The energy intensive industry, producing basic materials, is responsible for 25 to 30% of today's global greenhouse gas emissions.

The global coronavirus pandemic has hit the tourism industry hard worldwide. Not only that, but it has exposed a lack of resilience to any type of downturn, according to new research from Lund University in Sweden. While the virus may or may not be temporary, the climate crisis is here to stay - and tourism will have to adapt, says Stefan Gössling, professor of sustainable tourism. Tourism has bee

The Faculty's pilot of transcription using the Whisper AI tool has worked very well, with many hundreds of hours of interview material transcribed so far. Until there is a university-wide solution, we are therefore continuing to offer the tool through the Department of Psychology.

In accidents or terror attacks which are suspected to involve radioactive substances, it can be difficult to determine whether people nearby have been exposed to radiation. But by analysing mobile phones and other objects which come in close contact with the body, it is possible to retrieve important information on radiation exposure. This has been shown by a new thesis from Lund University in Swe

Because of increasing pressures on marine life and habitats, the overall health of the global ocean has over the latter years received attention internationally. It is therefore of relevance to analyse how the type of human-nature relationship towards the ocean is presented through what can be coined as Blue Growth. The aim of this research is to critically discuss what human-nature relationships

How long does it take to comfort someone? Does an egg need to be fried rather than boiled? LUM invited home care researchers from the School of Social Work and the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) for a conversation. They are meeting for the first time; their discussions cover stress, responsibility and participation. Their common goal is better home care, but they approach the issue from different pe

Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be understood as systems which show intelligent behaviour by analysing their environment and with some degree of autonomy act to reach certain goals. In colloquial language, AI has become an umbrella term for information technology, robotics, and digitalisation more broadly, including machine learning techniques enabling computers to improve themselves.  AI cArtificial Intelligence (AI) can be understood as systems which show intelligent behaviour by analysing their environment and with some degree of autonomy act to reach certain goals.

The University has conducted a travel habits survey and a mobility analysis in order to assess possibilities for all the University’s staff to travel sustainably to and from the workplace. Results from the two studies show that most of the University’s staff already have the option to use public transport, walk or cycle to the workplace. Through several measures, the University can increase the pe

The most important mineral in today's electric car batteries is lithium. China completely dominates the market, with no extraction taking place in Europe. However, a new study shows that there is great potential for European lithium production, which would bring improvements in competitiveness, the climate and security. The study also points out that there are complex international trade dependenc

Christmas music is more than background noise to the hustle and bustle. From Mariah Carey’s Christmas cracker ‘All I Want For Christmas’ to Wham’s lost love in ‘Last Christmas’, each song tells its own story of why it belongs to the festive season. “The power of Christmas music lies in its ability to put us in touch with our emotions, from celebration to reflection.

On-trend clothes that you only wear a few times – in the beginning of the 2000s the fashion industry started speeding up production. Today, it accounts for around 10 per cent of global carbon dioxide emissions and criticism is being directed at the industry for not taking responsibility for its social and environmental impact. The big question is; can fashion become sustainable? Technological deve
