This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The dance that binary stars do around each other offers new clues to the chemical evolution of our Galaxy, the Milky Way – so says a current research study. For the first time, researchers have identified the link between the orbiting times of certain binary stars and the amount of iron in their interiors. Binary star

Hunting in Sweden has a long history and could be considered a cultural heritage. Wildlife management and a sense of local community and stewardship are important keywords to describe recreational hunting. However, in recent years there has been an emerging market for commercial hunting, where hunters can buy the right to hunt on someone else’s land, where hospitality services and guiding are ofte

Forskare vid Lunds universitet har utvecklat en teknik för att mäta elektriska signaler från 128 hjärnområden samtidigt hos vakna råttor. Den har de sedan använt för att mäta vad som händer med nervcellerna när råttorna får psykedeliska droger. Resultaten visar på en oväntad och samtidig synkronisering bland nervcellerna i flera områden i hjärnan. Idén om att elektriska svängningar, oscillationer,

Många patienter med akut bröstsmärta blir inlagda på vårdavdelning – trots att bara en bråkdel av dem behöver akut, högspecialiserad hjärtsjukvård. Forskaren och akutläkaren Tsvetelina Nilsson har i sitt avhandlingsarbete undersökt hur dessa patienter – på ett säkert sätt – snabbare kan bedömas. I snitt kan nästan hälften av de som söker för akut bröstsmärta tryggt skickas hem – redan efter någon

More than half a billion people are affected by type 2 diabetes – and the number is growing. In a recent publication in the journal Small, researchers explain how nanoelectroporation can be used to deliver molecules that can affect insulin expression through epigenetic means, potentially leading to new treatments. Genetics cannot explain type 2 diabetes, and epigenetics (i.e. chemical modification
