Under pandemin föll många genom skyddsnätet. För personer med långtidscovid blev det smärtsamt tydligt: de fanns – men erkändes inte. Nu visar en ny studie från Lunds universitet hur vanliga medborgare, mitt i sin sjukdom, organiserade sig digitalt och utmanade myndigheternas bild av vad covid egentligen är. När kroppen inte orkar men samhället blundar – så tog de saken i egna händer Den svenska c

One night in October 2017, a telescope in Hawaii is carrying out its routine task of scanning the night sky. The following d

Scientists have found an alternative way to produce atoms of the superheavy element livermorium. The new method opens up the possibility of creating another element that could be the heaviest in the world so far: number 120. The search for new elements comes from the dream of finding a variant that is sufficiently stable to be long-lived and not prone to immediate decay. There is a theory in nucle
