Insekters DNA går att fånga in och upptäcka via luften. Det visar forskning från Lunds universitet. Tekniken, som är ny på insektsområdet, kan få stor betydelse för att kartlägga biologisk mångfald framöver och väntas komplettera den traditionella metoden, att samla in insekter med fällor. Fabian Roger, som tog fram tekniken under sin tid som forskare på Centrum för miljö- och klimatvetenskap (CEC

Många vet att Max IV och ESS är världsledande anläggningar inom sina respektive områden och att de kan användas för att studera olika material in i minsta detalj. Men hur många vet vad som skiljer dem åt? Här vill vi ge en översiktlig bild. Hur var det nu med protoner, neutroner och elektroner? En atom består av protoner, neutroner och elektroner. Både Max IV och ESS använder atomernas byggstenar.
