Research at Lund University in Sweden has found a new way to create nano-sized magnetic particles using ultrafast laser light pulses. The discovery could pave the way for new and more energy-efficient technical components and become useful in the quantum computers of the future. Magnetic skyrmions are sometimes described as magnetic vortices. Unlike ferromagnetic states - which occur in convention

Today, the Faculty of Medicine's new goods reception in Lund was inaugurated. Handling shipments for recipients, suppliers, and Med-service personnel will now be more convenient. The new goods reception's very first customer showed up in the trembling seconds just before the inauguration speech on Monday, to pick up a parcel from the brand new parcel locker. How did it feel? "Well… It's just like
What do you explore in your PhD-project? I explore the role that Indigenous Traditional Knowledge (ITK) plays in the regulation of Wildlife consumption in the Colombian Amazon. This is quite interesting, and a key topic as there are around 65 indigenous ethnic groups living in the Colombian Amazon forest. Working, and learning with them, about sustainable use of this ecosystem, is without a doubt
An international consensus report on diabetes identifies the potential for diabetes screening, better classification of type 2 diabetes, and biomarkers that can predict cardiovascular disease. The report also highlights that more evidence is needed before it is possible to provide individualised treatment to all patients. The report is based on a large collaboration between 28 universities worldwi
