One result of climate change is that spring is arriving earlier. However, migratory birds are not keeping up with these developments and arrive too late for the peak in food availability when it is time for breeding. By getting the birds to fly a little further north, researchers in Lund, Sweden, and the Netherlands have observed that these birds can give their chicks a better start in life. Globa

In France, there has long been a heated debate over gender-inclusive language, with critics warning that it makes texts difficult to read. However, a new thesis shows that the forms work as intended. They make women more visible in the reader’s mind, without significantly compromising readability. In French, all nouns have a grammatical gender and are either masculine or feminine. On top of that,

On-trend clothes that you only wear a few times – in the beginning of the 2000s the fashion industry started speeding up production. Today, it accounts for around 10 per cent of global carbon dioxide emissions and criticism is being directed at the industry for not taking responsibility for its social and environmental impact. The big question is; can fashion become sustainable? Technological deve

Ultrashort laser pulses - that are shorter than a millionth of a millionth of a second -have transformed fundamental science, engineering and medicine. Despite this, their ultrashort duration has made them elusive and difficult to measure. About ten years ago, researchers from Lund University and Porto University introduced a tool for measuring pulse duration of ultrafast lasers. The same team has

Researchers have developed a model that can calculate individual countries' carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel burning using observations from space. The new results could be put to use within the Earth observation programme Copernicus, when satellites will be sent into space in the coming years. At the COP26 climate summit, the nations of the world agreed on a new document that for the fir

Diagnosing Alzheimer's disease is often difficult, as several other conditions can cause similar symptoms. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have now discovered a blood marker that can accurately diagnose Alzheimer’s in the early stages of the disease. ‟This is a major breakthrough. I believe this blood test can be used clinically in only a few years”, says Oskar Hansson, professor of neuro

Urbanisation and a warmer climate means that more people want to swim in canals, harbours, and urban beaches. However, this means that they may swimming close to where treated wastewater and stormwater are discharged – including bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens that might make people sick.

Psychiatric and cognitive symptoms emerge at an early stage in Huntington’s disease. However, research so far has mainly focused on movement impairment, a symptom associated with the more advanced stages of the disease. A new study from Lund University in Sweden now shows that the emotional brain - the limbic system - is affected earlier in the course of the disease, and should therefore be given
