That all students should learn about sustainability at some point during their education is something the Swedish Council for Higher Education has decided. But how can lecturers include sustainability in their teaching – without tying themselves in knots in what is often a hectic schedule? That was just one of the questions addressed in the seminar series Sustainable Teaching & Learning in Higher

Birds are masters of flight and can even outperform aircraft. Bar-tailed godwits, for example, can fly from Alaska to New Zealand – 11 600 km – in one eight-day, non-stop flight! To manage this, the birds must be able to fly very efficiently. How do they do it? What does a feather have that an aircraft wing does not? One of the greatest challenges in today’s society is to reduce the consumption of

A new study by Ivan Radelyuk, Mehran Naseri Rad, Hossein Hashemi, Magnus Persson, Ronny Berndtsson, Madeniyet Yelubay and Kamshat Tussupova. A common problem when studying groundwater contamination in low-income countries is that data required for a detailed risk assessment are limited. This study presents a method for assessment of the potential impact of groundwater contamination by total petrol

For the first time, researchers have succeeded in creating an iron molecule that can function both as a photocatalyst to produce fuel and in solar cells to produce electricity. The results indicate that the iron molecule could replace the more expensive and rarer metals used today. Some photocatalysts and solar cells

We were all small, newborn infants once. But some of us were perhaps too small as newborns? A child that is born “small for gestational age” means that they have not grown according to their normal curve during the foetal period. By studying the group of small newborns in epidemiological, or register, studies, researchers follow what happens to these infants later in life. This knowledge is of gre
