Researchers at Lund University in Sweden and other institutions have worked out how the pigment of the skin manages to protect the body from the sun’s dangerous UV rays. The skin pigment converts the UV radiation into heat through a rapid chemical reaction that shoots protons from the molecules of the pigment. In a new study, the team from Lund University, working with colleagues in France and Ita

With the help of satellite images and interviews, researchers in Lund can present new information about how the drought that hit Syria between 2007 and 2009 affected migration patterns. Their study shows that farmers left their land only when war broke out in 2011, an idea which is at odds with the accepted view of drought as the starting point for migration. When the war in Syria broke out in 201
