This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Emissions of greenhouse gases have a warming effect on the climate, whereas small airborne particles in the atmosphere, aerosols, act as a cooling mechanism. That is the received wisdom in any case. However, new research from Lund University in Sweden can now show that the tiniest aerosols are increasing at the expens

Bioelectronics research and development of implants made of electrically conductive materials for disease treatment is advancing rapidly. However, bioelectronic treatment is not without complications. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have taken another step forward by developing a refined method to create detailed and tissue-friendly bioelectronics. In a study published in Advanced Science

Video games are easy to exploit, and are being used by actors ranging from IS and Hizbollah for recruitment, to Russia, who use it to spread propaganda during the ongoing invasion of Ukraine. This according to a new report from Psychological Defence Research Institute at Lund University in Sweden. Since the 2016 US Presidential election, many democratic governments have paid close attention to how

Can AI think? The short answer is no, at least not in the way humans think. AI does not have incentives, opinions, or empathy. Even two-year-olds possess something that our artificial systems lack – the capacity to think in terms of cause and effect, according to Peter Gärdenfors, professor of Cognitive Science at Lund University. Since ChatGPT was introduced to great fanfare in 2022, the debate a

Implementing nature-based solutions requires better management and funding with clear political priorities. This is the conclusion of a new study by the Nordic Council of Ministers, in which researchers from Lund University participated. Nature-based solutions to climate change and the loss of biodiversity are increasingly highlighted, most recently during the UN Climate Change Conference (COP27)

New research results now published from Lund University’s MASAI trial are even better than the initial findings from last year: AI-supported breast screening detected 29 per cent more cases of cancer compared with traditional screening. More invasive cancers were also clearly detected at an early stage using AI. Now the final part of the research study will focus on breast cancer missed by screeni

A group of researchers at Lund University in Sweden have made the first iron-based molecule capable of emitting light. This could contribute to the development of affordable and environmentally friendly materials for e.g. solar cells, light sources and displays. For over 50 years, chemists have developed metal-based dye molecules for a wide range of different applications, such as displays and sol

The strong connection between financial problems and mental health issues is well known. A new study from Lund University in Sweden shows that only one in five young adults could correctly answer three basic questions about inflation, interest rates and risk diversification. At the same time, they are getting more into debt. This, the researchers argue, is a worrying development. We now know that
