Psykiska och kognitiva symtom kommer tidigt vid Huntingtons sjukdom och är ofta de svåraste symtomen i sjukdomen, vittnar berörda. Ändå har forskningen, i sin jakt på behandling, främst fokuserat på sjukdomens rörelsestörningar, ett senare symtom. Ny forskning visar att känslohjärnan påverkas tidigare i sjukdomsförloppet och därför bör ges mer fokus vid utvecklingen av nya behandlingar. Artikeln p

For a researcher to be successful, he or she not only needs to produce good research – it also has to gain exposure. However, there is competition for space in scientific and popular science journals.

Supraledare är en hörnsten i bland annat kvantdatorer och partikeldetektorer. Ett vanligt problem är dock att effektiviteten försämras av olika störningar. Nu har forskare vid bland annat naturvetenskapliga fakulteten genom högprecisionsmätningar kommit ett steg närmare en förklaring till vad det är som händer. Supraledning är beroende av närvaron av elektroner bundna i så kallade Cooper-par. Två
