På Pufendorfinstitutet är Kulturnatten en höjdpunkt under hösten! Besökare som till vardags kanske inte kommer hit, flockas då kring utställningar, de lyssnar aktivt på populärvetenskapliga föreläsningar och trängs för att komma med på guidade visningar av vårt vackra hus i korsningen Biskopsgatan/Sölvegatan – där Kunskapsstråket börjar! Programmet för Kulturnatten på Pufendorfinstitutet 20 septem

Britta Padberg (PhD), tidigare ansvarig för Center for Interdisciplinary Research vid Bielefeld University i tolv år och föreståndare för The New Institute i Hamburg, har varit här på Pufendorf IAS sedan slutet av augusti på en fyra veckor lång forskningsvistelse. Vi känner henne sedan tidigare: Britta Padberg var en del av vår utvärderingspanel under 2024 och besökte oss både i maj och i oktober

Han har varit här i ett par månader nu, Jonathan Andrew, som i vanliga fall jobbar som forskare vid Geneva Academy of International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights i Schweiz. Jag träffar honom i hans mysiga kontor med de synliga takbjälkarna på Pufendorfinstitutet och inleder med att a. be om ursäkt för att jag inte intervjuat honom förrän nu och b. tacka honom för alla de olika godsaker som stä

Ett av våra Teman har, tillsammans med sin nuvarande International Fellow, kommit fram till att de redan ett par månader in i terminen vill prata med fler om det som de arbetar med, nämligen Neurotechnologies. Välkomna alltså till ett öppet evenemang här på Pufendorfinstitutet den 20 november! Internationella gäster och tvärvetenskap Hela idén med ett Tema här på Pufendorfinstitutet är att forskar

Pufendorfinstitutet berättar gärna om hur forskningsidéer som utforskats här lett till större projekt, publikationer och ansökningar. Men ibland får vi tag i helt andra berättelser. Som när jag träffar Anna Ekwall (när november fortfarande var solig och varm) för att prata om hur en interdisciplinär forskargrupp bestämmer sig för att jobba med en interdisciplinär utbildningssatsning.

Inget säger väl ”god fortsättning” så mycket som ett avsnitt av Sveriges Radios podd P3 Dystopia med titlen ”Genetiska vapen”? På självaste annandag jul släpptes detta avsnitt, i vilket forskare från Pufendorf-Temat Greyzone Genomics (2024/2025) pratar om hur de ser på möjligheten till framtida vapen som bygger på det vi kan ta reda på av mänskligt DNA. Kan man ”rikta” vapen mot en specifik grupp

In a future warmer climate, evaporation from the northern hemisphere’s wetlands will increase significantly more than previously thought. This is shown by an international study involving researchers from Lund University and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences. The new discovery provides important knowledg

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. A new study from Lund University in Sweden shows that female birds benefit more from extra food in the winter. If females receive additional food, they do not need to reduce their body temperature as much as they would have otherwise, and the chances of surviving cold nights increase. Birds possess an extreme ability

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Extensive power outages and satellite blackouts that affect air travel and the internet are some of the potential consequences of massive solar storms. These storms are believed to be caused by the release of enormous amounts of stored magnetic energy due to changes in the magnetic field of the sun’s outer atmosphere

The question of how small, dwarf galaxies have sustained the formation of new stars over the course of the Universe has long confounded the world’s astronomers. An international research team led by Lund University in Sweden has found that dormant small galaxies can slowly accumulate gas over many billions of years. W

Compared with other migratory birds, the common swift follows a very unusual pattern when it migrates from the breeding areas in Europe to its wintering locations south of the Sahara. This is what researchers have observed in a major eleven-year international study of the birds. “Our study is very significant for unde

The ability to reproduce is also strongly affected by rising temperatures, even in northern areas of the world, according to a new study from Lund University in Sweden. Insects cannot regulate their own

The dance that binary stars do around each other offers new clues to the chemical evolution of our Galaxy, the Milky Way – so says a current research study. For the first time, researchers have identified the link between the orbiting times of certain binary stars and the amount of iron in their interiors. Binary star

The fluttery flight of butterflies has so far been somewhat of a mystery to researchers, given their unusually large and broad wings relative to their body size. Now researchers at Lund University in Sweden have studied the aerodynamics of butterflies in a wind tunnel. The results suggest that butterflies use a highly

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Theories were introduced as far back as the 1960s about the possible existence of superheavy elements. Their most long-lived nuclei could give rise to a so-called “island of stability” far beyond the element uranium. However, a new study, led by nuclear physicists at Lund University, shows that a 50-year-old nuclear p
