Virtual reality might be the closest we can get to a time machine. For instance, it can be used to experience historical communities – such as the Iron Age city of Uppåkra in southern Sweden, according to LU researcher Mattias Wallergård. Mattias Wallergård has done research on virtual reality and its applications for the past 20 years. He works at the Virtual Reality Lab at Lund University, and b

In the past 50 years, the amount of water in the open ocean without oxygen has gone up more than four-fold. In coastal water bodies, including estuaries and seas, low-oxygen sites have increased more than 10-fold since 1950. “Sufficient oxygen in bottom waters is necessary for a well-functioning healthy ecosystem,” says Professor Daniel Conley at Lund University working together with an internatio

Passion, creativity and community. That’s the essence of an ongoing craft trend, according to organisational researcher and homebrewer Stephan Schaefer. “Craft is a timeless form of work that has always been important for human development. But craft is not static. It adapts and develops to fit our modern times. This is an important message and something that companies can learn from,” he says. St

What is worth sustaining? Steinunn Knúts-Önnudóttir's research is all about a theatre audience facing themselves with that profound question. "In my work I offer a frame or a situation for my guests to meet their own stories and their values through an encounter with a host in their own surroundings". For 20 years, the Icelander Steinunn Knúts-Önnudóttir has tried to create a meaningful dialogue w

A group of engineering students at Lund University in Sweden noticed that there were no vegan cake mixes available on the Swedish market. They set to work and came up with a dry mix that only requires the addition of oil and water. The final product contained no eggs or wheat flour, making it vegan as well as gluten-free – and had lower sugar content. WATCH VIDEO STORYA major challenge for the stu

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden can now reveal what the Danish King Hans had planned to offer when laying claim to the Swedish throne in 1495: a two-metre-long Atlantic sturgeon. The well-preserved fish remains were found in a wreck on the bottom of the Baltic Sea last year, and species identification was made possible through DNA analysis. At midsummer in 1495, the Danish King Hans was e

For decades, researchers have thought that access to food determined the brood size of birds. Now, biologists at Lund University in Sweden have discovered a completely new explanation: the body temperature of small birds can increase by more than 4°C to exceed 45°C when they are feeding their young. Larger broods would require more work, resulting in even higher body temperatures - something the b

There are currently a large number of newcomers in Sweden from countries such as Syria, Iraq and the Ukraine that hold highly interesting academic degrees. To benefit from their expertise, Lund University in cooperation with Folkuniversitetet are offering the programme Korta vägen (“The shortcut”) – a project funded by the Swedish Public Employment Service. On 8 September, some 80 academic newcome

An influenza infection in birds gives a good protection against other subtypes of the virus, like a natural vaccination, according to a new study. Water birds, in particular mallards, are often carriers of low-pathogenic influenza A virus. Researchers previously believed that birds infected by one variant of the virus could not benefit from it by building up immunity against other virus subtypes.

A new analytical model for e-sports developed by researchers in Sweden, Denmark and Germany, not only helps game developers better understand how players perform, but can also predict the outcome of the game. E-sports is the term used for the increasingly popular phenomenon of competitive computer and video gaming, where individuals or teams play against each other in various online environments.

Through cooperation, animals are able to colonise harsher living environments that would otherwise be inaccessible, according to a new study from Lund University in Sweden, together with researchers in England and USA. The research community has long believed this was the other way around - that species in tough environments had to cooperate to survive. As a result the established view of why anim

A new study may have uncovered why wall lizards have become the most successful reptile in the Mediterranean region. The results reveal how drastic changes in sea levels and climate 6 million years ago affected species formation in the area. The researchers believe they can now explain why the lizards became so diverse and widespread, something that has puzzled biologists since the 19th century. T

Our brains not only contain learning mechanisms but also forgetting mechanisms that erase “unnecessary” learning. A research group at Lund University in Sweden has now been able to describe one of these mechanisms at the cellular level. The group’s results, published in the international journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS), explain a theor
