A handful of selected artists have paired up with researchers from the European Spallation Source (ESS) and the results are unexpected meetings, different thoughts and new challenges. Both for the artists and the researchers. The results will help ESS to communicate complex research and the impact it may have on the region and the world. ESS is being built in northeast Lund and this unique materia

Physics researchers at Lund University in Sweden recently succeeded in constructing small solar radiation-collecting antennas – nanowires – using three different materials that are a better match for the solar spectrum compared with today’s silicon solar cells. As the nanowires are light and require little material per unit of area, they are now to be installed for tests on satellites, which are p

Återberättade händelser om våld förvanskas beroende på vem som återberättar och vilket våld det handlar om. Det leder till att media och människor förmedlar en skev bild av allvaret i det som faktiskt skett. Vissa händelser skattas allvarligare när de återberättas i efterhand och vice versa. AI gör dock en mer korrekt bedömning. Det visar två nya studier från Lunds universitet. I den första studie

Större delen av avdelningen för atomfysik vid Lunds universitet hade samlats i ett rymligt rum med storbildsskärm för att invänta tillkännagivandet av 2023 års Nobelpristagare i fysik från Kungliga vetenskapsakademin den 3 oktober. Nobelhemligheten är såklart rådande, men det fanns ändå en viss förväntan i luften. Detta är en översatt text från "The Conversation" som Sune Svanberg, professor emeri
For hundreds of years, people have made a living from livestock herding in rural Kenya. Today, their traditional way of life is increasingly burdened by the effects of climate change and population growth. In his doctoral thesis, Billy Jones examines why development aid projects in the region often fail – and how sustainable progress could instead be achieved with the help of local actors. Thirtee

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Swedish manhood enters into crisis at irregular intervals; the male role may now be about to change once again in the aftermath of the #metoo protest.

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Bladder cancer is as common as malignant melanoma. However, in the past three decades, the death rate has remained high and the treatment has been the same since the 1970s. Yet only a very small part of research funding goes to bladder cancer. Through a unique collaboration, researchers now want to transfer new resear

Researcher Marwa Dabaieh from Lund University in Sweden has come up with a way to adapt the so-called Trombe wall – a passive solar building design from the 19th century – to not only heat but also cool buildings, while drastically reduce associated carbon emissions. The new design is now being tested by locals in Saint Catherine, Egypt. “In Egypt, fossil fuels account for 94% of all energy. There

During his more than 50-year career, diabetes researcher Åke Lernmark has made several significant discoveries that have increased knowledge about type 1 diabetes. His research contributes to creating conditions for a national screening programme in Sweden. In Sweden, around 1,000 children and an equal number of adults develop type 1 diabetes each year.
