By adopting methods used by activist citizen movements, municipal level politics can become more inclusive and even pave the way for sustainable transformations. Mine Islar, from Lund University, has studied the politics of Barcelona en Comú, an activist citizen platform that came to power in the municipality of Barcelona in 2015. Mine Islar, from Lund University Centre for Sustainability Studies,

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Pollinating insects are endangered globally, with a particularly steep decline over the last 40 years. An extensive 3-year study from Lund University in Sweden has found that organic farming methods can contribute to halting the pollinator decline. This beneficial effect is due to both the absence of insecticides and

Pancreatic cancer is currently very difficult to detect while it is still resectable. A new blood test developed by researchers at Lund University in Sweden, Herlev Hospital, Knight Cancer Center and Immunovia AB, can detect pancreatic cancer in the very earliest stages of the disease. The results have been published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology. Due to diffuse symptoms, pancreatic cancer i

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Intestinal bacteria can create an electric current, according to a new study from Lund University in Sweden. The results are valuable for the development of drugs, but also for the production of bioenergy, for example. It is already known that bacteria can create an electric current outside their own cell, known as ex

Diagnosing Alzheimer's disease can be difficult, as several other conditions can cause similar symptoms. Now a new brain imaging method can show the spread of specific tau protein depositions, which are unique to cases with Alzheimer's. ‟The method works very well. I believe it will be applied clinically all over the world in only a few years”, says Oskar Hansson. Hansson is a professor of clinica

Transistors that can change properties are important elements in the development of tomorrow’s semiconductors. With standard transistors approaching the limit for how small they can be, having more functions on the same number of units becomes increasingly important in enabling the development of small, energy-efficient circuits for improved memory and more powerful computers. Researchers at Lund

NanoLundian Kimberly Dick is, for more than a decade, a Wallenberg Academy Fellow, and studies the building of new materials by working on an atom-scale. As put in the film: If an atom were the size of a Lego piece, lying in a hand, the hand would be the size of planet Earth. “Big discoveries are made when we realize something fundamental and yet surprising about nature”, she says.

Corrosion-resistant metallic materials are required in applications such as rocket engines, nuclear power stations and chemical industry. An alloy of nickel, chromium, and molybdenum is often used. However, a new study shows that this alloy rusts in a previously unknown way. Buildings, modes of transport, artworks, and music instruments – we encounter metallic materials almost everywhere in societ
