Lung patients die for lack of organs healthy enough for donation. The project called "The bridge - lungs for life" aim to create a centralized Danish-Swedish "revitalizing facility" for damaged lungs – the first in Europe! Lung transplantation is the only treatment for patients with severe lung disease, but the organs are not enough, resulting in patients dying while waiting for organs. Increasing

The fluttery flight of butterflies has so far been somewhat of a mystery to researchers, given their unusually large and broad wings relative to their body size. Now researchers at Lund University in Sweden have studied the aerodynamics of butterflies in a wind tunnel. The results suggest that butterflies use a highly effective clap technique, therefore making use of their unique wings. This helps

A new study from Lund University in Sweden shows that the ability of microorganisms to adapt to climate warming will slow down global warming by storing carbon in soil. In the study, researchers collected soil samples from across Europe in a wide range of temperatures, from minus 3.1 to 18.3 degrees Celsius. The samples revealed that microorganisms in soils – such as bacteria and fungi – are stron

On Monday, 23 February, the Swedish Dental and Pharmaceutical Benefits Agency (TLV) announced its decision. They have declined to subsidize Wegovy, which has quickly become one of the most discussed medications for obesity. Wegovy, which contains the now well‑known substance semaglutide, is used to help people with obesity lose weight. Novo Nordisk, the company behind the drug, had applied for it

Can the loss of biodiversity slow down if one exposes its economic value? In a study recently published in the scientific journal Nature Communications, the scientists show that among the many thousands of species of bees in the world, only a few species are of economic importance for agriculture. The most common pollinators of crops can be promoted by relatively simple measures in agricultural la

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have succeeded in developing a simple hydrocarbon molecule with a logic gate function, similar to that in transistors, in a single molecule. The discovery could make electric components on a molecular scale possible in the future. The results are published in Nature Communications. Manufacturing very small components is an important challenge in both resear
