Alla partiklar som når atmosfären leder till olika kemiska reaktioner. Partiklar kommer dels från naturliga källor som vulkanutbrott och skogsbränder, dels från luftföroreningar och utsläpp. Aerosolforskaren Johan Friberg studerar partiklar på höga höjder. Han befarar att det ökade antalet skogsbränder globalt kan ha stor påverkan på ozonlagret. – Jag studerar luften som ligger i stratosfären och

Stroke kan komma att orsaka nära 10 miljoner dödsfall årligen år 2050 och kosta upp till 2 biljoner dollar. Det varnar nu en forskarkommission för i en rapport som presenteras i Lancet Neurology. Allra hårdast drabbas låg- och medelinkomstländer. – Den viktigaste slutsatsen är att det finns stora möjligheter att vända trenden, säger Bo Norrving, forskare och läkare och en av dem som startat upp oc

Ett bilbränsle bestående av en vätska som en fast katalysator omvandlar till vätgas är något forskare vid Lunds universitet undersöker. Den använda vätskan töms sedan ur tanken, laddas med väte och kan därefter användas på nytt i ett cirkulärt system, som är fritt från växthusgasutsläpp. I två vetenskapliga artiklar har Lundaforskarna visat att metoden fungerar, och även om det fortfarande är grun

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Ett nytt sätt att enklare och billigare än idag på tidigt stadium upptäckta malaria, sömnsjuka och även vissa cancer- och bakteriesjukdomar är under uppsegling. Tekniken får nu 40 miljoner kronor från EU för att färdigställas. - Vi har hittat ett sätt som sorterar fram partiklar utifrån deras form eller mjukhet. Idé
