Our memory records details and detects patterns in everyday life - often without us even realising it. Researchers at Lund University have for the first time succeeded in showing that the brain does both these things simultaneously in real time. To investigate this, everyday situations from the computer game The Sims were used to understand how we process information in real life. We rely on our m

Boreal peatlands store large amounts of carbon, but warmer and drier conditions caused by climate change may turn these ecosystems into carbon sources. Equipped with drones and thermal cameras Julia Kelly, who recently received her doctorate at the Centre for Environmental and Climate Science (CEC), has studied what factors affect the CO2 fluxes in peatland ecosystems. Boreal forests and peatlands

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Att upptäckten av insulinet 1921 var värt ett nobelpris var tämligen oomstritt. Men vem skulle lönas? När Nobelkommittén 1923 hade bestämt sig flammade protesterna upp. Jag var först, hävdade några. Inte ens i gruppen som ärades var man nöjda. Likväl - 14 november, pristagaren Frederick Bantings födelsedag , är till

Lao Saal has a mission; to make it possible to – just by testing a blood sample – reveal, not only if you have cancer, but also which therapies may be most effective, and how well is the cancer actually responding to treatment. His idea is to trace the genetic material that escapes from tumours and into the blood circulation. “It’s a great feeling when you can go the whole way from having an idea

Ethnologist Susanne Lundin’s research is ultimately about life and death and how people relate to the inevitable. What are people willing to do to delay the end briefly? Is there a limit beyond which someone ceases to be human?
