A research group at Lund University has succeeded in creating a hydrogen-producing system using an iron complex as a light-absorbing dye. The new discovery could be an important piece of the puzzle for large-scale, environmentally friendly hydrogen production in the future. Hydrogen is a highly efficient energy carrier that can be used to transport, store and provide energy. The gas, which consist

In patients with symptoms such as irregular heartbeats, dizziness, or fainting, or in individuals that physicians suspect may have atrial fibrillation, many days of ECGs may be required for diagnosis – “long-term ECG recordings”. These recordings must then undergo a time-consuming and human resource-intensive review to identify heart rhythm abnormalities. In a large international study, researcher

Is it possible to improve the antibodies that the body produces to fight SARS-CoV2? In a study led by researchers from Lund University in Sweden, this was investigated by redesigning antibodies and combining them against the virus. The modified antibodies have been tested in human cells and with mice. Many antibodies used to treat covid infection during the pandemic have been so-called neutralizin
