Depression, dizziness, difficulty focusing the gaze and balance problems. Many professional athletes who have sustained head trauma in sports have lingering symptoms that affect everyday life. Little help has been available as the cause has been unknown. A clinical study from Lund University in Sweden can now show that the problems originate in an injury to the vestibular nerve. Athletes in contac

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have used virtual reality and 3D eye-tracking technology to examine what drew the attention of the visitors when entering the stunning environment of an ancient Roman house. The team recreated the House of Greek Epigrams in 3D and tracked the gaze of study participants as they viewed the home. Unlike today, Roman houses were not a place of refuge from work.

The new UN climate report shows that the zero emissions goal for 2050 is achievable. However, it will require major changes in all sectors – not least in industry, which currently accounts for a large proportion of global emissions. The researchers identified several sustainable paths forward, but some sectors – above all in plastics and chemicals – are still searching for potential transition rou

This summer, Lund University doctoral student Sofia Blomqvist will be investigating how pollinating insects such as bumblebees and solitary bees are faring in flower-rich roadside habitats. However, there is one problem: bumblebee nests are very difficult to find. Now she hopes to be able to train Ylle the dog to help her. Sofia Blomqvist’s objective is to repeat a previously criticized scientific
