B cells and the antibodies they produce play an important role in our immune system, protecting us from the microscopic enemies that make us ill. Uncovering how they form and are ‘programmed’ during development is key to better understanding the immune response to infections and vaccinations.

The winter season virus has struck – and covid-19 is still part of everyday life. But unlike during the pandemic, we now know more about how the virus is spread through the air we breathe. Research results from Malin Alsved and Jakob Löndahl show that it only takes a few minutes in the same room as an infected person to catch the virus. The aerosol researchers at LTH are behind the study, in which

Renewable and affordable energy is key for societal and economic growth, and for achieving national and global climate goals. Research from LUCSUS is mapping the energy transition in Nepal and has identified how increasing energy access is closely linked to a new political awakening in the country.  "Nepal is a very interesting case study since it has been held up as a case for how a country can t

How do some planets end up extremely close to their host stars, despite appearing to have formed much farther away? A new international study, led by the University of Southern Queensland in collaboration with MIT, seeks to answer this question. From Lund University, Judith Korth contributed key dynamical analysis. The study focuses on TOI‑1130b, a mini‑Neptune orbiting a star about 190 light‑year
