It is a catalyst that will modernise the Faculty of Science, both at Brunnshög and Sölvegatan. Dean Sven Lidin may have become “nearsighted, flabby and middle-aged” during his ten years in symbiosis with Science Village, but his future visions are more vital than ever. It is one of those pale September mornings when there is one online meeting after another. But a few minutes after 11:00, the dean

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

Plants in tropical dry areas have developed an unusual strategy for survival. Instead of using their water supply during the dry season, they hold on to the last drops until the very end in order to quickly get started on photosynthesis as soon as the rainy season has begun. Using satellite technology, researchers have now managed to investigate the storage of water in plants worldwide. The resear
