This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Patients who have been so ill they have needed intensive care often have a long recovery ahead of them – both physically and mentally. The problems that can develop include unpleasant memories of nightmares and hallucinations. Previous favourite foods can suddenly taste awful. Many intensive care patients recover well

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Through a computer-simulated study, astronomers at Lund University in Sweden show that it is highly likely that the so-called Planet 9 is an exoplanet. This would make it the first exoplanet to be discovered inside our own solar system. The theory is that our sun, in its youth some 4.5 billion years ago, stole Planet

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Geologist Birger Schmitz from Lund University in Sweden has found the fossil of an extinct meteorite that collided with Earth about 470 million years ago. The finding is the first of its kind and of a type of meteorite that no longer falls on Earth. The discovery, which could lead to new knowledge about our solar syst

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Ten-day-old baby birds are able to maintain their regular body temperature despite nest box temperatures of 50C° or above. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden can now show that nestlings pay a high price for regulating their body temperature: they grow less. Therefore, the recommendation when putting up a nest bo

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Researchers at Lund University have successfully explained how iron-based dyes work on a molecular level in solar cells. The new findings will accelerate the development of inexpensive and environmentally friendly solar cells. The goal is to be able to use iron-based dyes in solar cells in the future. By using iron in

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. New research from Lund University in Sweden questions the prevailing doctrine on how the brain absorbs and processes information. The idea that the brain has a mechanism to maintain activity at the lowest possible level is incorrect. What happens in the brain when we think and which components make up a thought? Resea

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Established ways of measuring carbon emissions can sometimes give misleading feedback on how national policies affect global emissions. In some cases, countries are even rewarded for policies that increase global emissions, and punished for policies that contribute to reducing them. “We have developed a new method tha
