Däggdjur använder näsor och nosar. Insekter antenner. Men hur spindlar känner lukter har länge varit höljt i dunkel. Nu har ett forskarlag upptäckt att hanspindlar använder hår på sina ben för att känna lukter och upptäcka sexferomoner från honspindlar. Även om spindlar – som har utvecklats under cirka 400 miljoner år – är kända för sitt vibrationssinne och sin skarpa syn har det funnits väldigt l

This week, a first workshop was held for SWEAH PhD students who want to learn more about impact, collaborating with actors outside academia and how to reach decision-makers and achieve real change. It is not always easy and it requires structured work, the participants noted. On October 15, SWEAH is arranging a second workshop, when a tool that can facilitate this will be examined in more detail.

Astronomer vid Lunds universitet visar i en datorsimulerad studie att den så kallade Planet 9 med stor sannolikhet är en exoplanet. Det är i så fall den första exoplaneten som upptäcks i vårt eget solsystem. Teorin är att vår sol i sin ungdom för 4,5 miljarder år sedan stal Planet 9 från sin ursprungsstjärna. En ext
