Geologists at Lund University in Sweden have mapped 300 years of research on the prehistoric marine reptiles known as ichthyosaurs. Using a uniquely well-preserved fossil, the team has also created the scientifically most up-to-date reconstruction of an ichthyosaur currently available. Fish lizards, or ichthyosaurs, were a very successful group of animals that, much like today's whales, migrated f

Unless Sweden and the EU strengthen their digital autonomy, there is a risk of catastrophic consequences. That is the conclusion of Lund University researcher in computer science, Johan Linåker, who considers that we must begin to think about control and maintenance of digital infrastructure in the same way as critical physical infrastructure such as seaports, airports, roads, and water and power

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden can now show that a new examination method identifies high-risk plaques in the blood vessels surrounding the heart, that cannot be seen solely with traditional angiograms. This type of plaque, rich in fat, could potentially cause recurring heart attacks in patients with heart d

Small sensors do a big job. Increasing numbers of things can now be controlled and measured, detected and regulated via small sensors on machines, in nature or in and on our bodies. These sensors gather and transmit large amounts of information via wireless communication, while requiring very little electrical power. To reduce electricity consumption, researchers must work with each tiny electroni

Ludovic Prick made his way to Lund for Arrival Day by cycling all the way from Belgium. Together with a friend, he embarked on a 13-day journey, pedalling from Amsterdam through Bremen, Hamburg, Rødby, and Copenhagen. Covering 1,100 kilometres, their adventure included a couple of long stops, including a two-day rest in Copenhagen. “The slower pace allowed us to explore winding rural roads and exp

A new COVID-19 antibody test developed by scientists at Lund University in Sweden has shown robust performance upon clinical validation and application. The test detects antibodies in the blood targeting the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2, and determines in just 15 minutes whether a person has had COVID-19, regardless of whether they have had any symptoms. “Unlike other serological tests to determine

A new study led by Lund University in Sweden has solved a years-old mystery: which patients with aggressive breast cancer are helped by a targeted cancer treatment that had been under development but was shelved. The study is important since it brings hope that the development of the drug can continue and that it will make it all the way to these patients. Despite the efforts of the North American

Even though childhood cancer is rare, it affects around 350 children and adolescents under the age of 18 each year in Sweden. That is almost one child every day. Due to improved treatment, 80 per cent of these children survive their cancer. Why do children develop cancer? That mystery has yet to be solved. Children suffer from other types of cancer than adults and the determining factor is the gen

The most important mineral in today's electric car batteries is lithium. China completely dominates the market, with no extraction taking place in Europe. However, a new study shows that there is great potential for European lithium production, which would bring improvements in competitiveness, the climate and security. The study also points out that there are complex international trade dependenc

In the past, it has been common practice to perform analyses of archaeological sites after excavations have been completed and covered again with soil. But with the revolutionary development of digital technologies, we can now identify archaeological information that was previously invisible to the naked eye. “As I dig, I am also destroying. Archaeologists must document it before. But with 3D docu
