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
What is the perfect recipe for semiconductors? Vanya Darakchieva is working on the answer in her research on novel semiconductor materials.

Each year, around 350 children in Sweden are diagnosed with cancer. Thanks to progress in research and treatment, six out of seven children today survive. But unlike cancer in adults, we don't know what causes most childhood cancers to develop. This spring Barncancerfonden, the Swedish Childhood Cancer Foundation, awarded SEK 64 million to 29 researchers across the country. The funding includes po

Solo living in your own home places a greater strain on the planet’s resources than living with others, as everyone needs their own appliances – a toaster, a washing machine and so on. The Nordic countries stand out: almost half of all households are solo living households.

Have the flight-free movement’s calls to avoid flying because of climate change had an impact on travel behaviors? What can be attributed to economic factors, changed social norms or a combination of both is unclear - but air travel in Sweden has decreased by 20 percent compared to before the pandemic. – The movement seeks to achieve change by making visible other ways of traveling, and in a large
How much environmental impact does your hair removal have? With the method LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) it’s possible to find out. Sustainability researchers from Lund, United Kingdom and Italy put the shaving habits to a test when they tried to find answer to which method has the least environmental impact. That is, if you don't consider the option of not removing it at all. Researchers Tullia Jac
