Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Om elektroder i framtiden ska föras in i mänskliga hjärnor – i forskningssyfte eller för att behandla en sjukdom – kan det vara lämpligt att ge dem en "päls" av nanopinnar som gör dem mindre störande för hjärnvävnaden. Men då får dessa nanopinnar (nanowires) inte vara över en viss längd. Det är slutsatsen av ett för

Swedish old-growth forests store 83 percent more carbon than managed forests, according to a new study from Lund University. The difference is substantially larger than previous estimates and is mainly due to large carbon stocks in the soil. The study, published in the scientific journal Science, is the most comprehensive mapping of how much carbon is stored in Swedish old-growth forests to date.

For the first time, researchers have been able to show how a cell closes the door to free radicals – small oxygen molecules that are sometimes needed, but that can also damage our cells. The study is published in Nature Communications and was led from Lund University. For our cells to function, they need to maintain a careful balance between beneficial and harmful oxygen molecules known as free ra
