Work on Lund University's establishment in Science Village has continued this year, but with a new focus. At the end of 2024, the boards of LTH and the Faculty of Science decided not to proceed with scenario 5 – a co-location of the Department of Physics and the Department of Chemistry in the area – due to cost considerations and the challenges of running education across two sites.The project gro
On 15 May 2025, scientists, engineers, and environmental stakeholders will gather to celebrate a milestone for Swedish climate research: the 10-year anniversary of ICOS Sweden’s national greenhouse gas observation network; a decade of operation for ICOS Sweden’s station Hyltemossa and 30 years of data collection at the Norunda site. This year sees a decade of operation for ICOS Sweden’s station Hy

In August, the IPCC published the first part of its sixth assessment report (AR6). It summarises the “physical science basis” for climate change. The message was loud and clear: humans are causing climate change. The next instalment of AR6 will focus on concrete solutions, and highlight how societies, especially vulnerable groups, will be impacted by climate change. Ahead of the coming COP26 in Gl

Inom några år kommer flera naturvetenskapliga profilforskare med tunga anslag att gå i pension. För att trygga tillväxten lanserar nu fakulteten, med vicedekan Anders Tunlid i spetsen, en ny typ av förmånliga lektorat som ska attrahera unga forskare från hela världen. Efter en mötestung förmiddag tar en nyfriserad Anders Tunlid emot på sitt kontor. Whiteboarden är fulltecknad och på skrivbordet li

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have investigated the link between exposure to PFAS and the development of asthma. The results show that among children whose mothers had very high levels of PFAS exposure during pregnancy, the risk of asthma was significantly higher than among children whose mothers had lower levels of PFAS exposure. PFAS (perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are

Laura Elo at University of Turku is awarded the Leif C. Groop Award for outstanding research on type 1 diabetes. The mathematician from Finland has developed methods which have helped increase the understanding of how type 1 diabetes develops at molecular level. She hopes her research will help prevent and delay the progression of the disease and individualise the treatment of type 1 diabetes. Jus

Environmental pioneer Henrik Smith has won a major international ecology prize. He is also keen to emphasise the importance of research activity’s interaction with society – gone are the days when writing an extensive study and then leaving it to gather dust was enough.

A lab where you can “craft” new materials on the atomic level, bringing together cross-disciplinary scientists to produce nanomaterials and semiconductor components. A neighborhood with major research infrastructures, complementary to each other. And most important: an open environment where academia, industry, and society can meet and collaborate, finding solutions for a sustainable world. Intrig

A tiny insect that lives on snow has revealed an unexpected survival trick: it can generate its own heat to withstand sub-zero temperatures. The finding sheds new light on how life endures in extreme environments. The snow fly – a winter-active crane fly – moves across snow at temperatures between 0 and −7°C. Conditions that would be lethal to most insects instead leave this species active, thanks
