Exercising too much and not getting enough rest is bad for your health. A new study from Lund University in Sweden shows that the same is true for migratory birds. They need to rest not only to renew their energy levels but also in order to boost their immune system. After a period of physical exertion, vertebrates, including humans, usually need a period of recovery. Apart from the obvious – lowe

A tiny insect that lives on snow has revealed an unexpected survival trick: it can generate its own heat to withstand sub-zero temperatures. The finding sheds new light on how life endures in extreme environments. The snow fly – a winter-active crane fly – moves across snow at temperatures between 0 and −7°C. Conditions that would be lethal to most insects instead leave this species active, thanks

For many years, a bottleneck in technological development has been how to get processors and memories to work faster together. Now, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have presented a new solution integrating a memory cell with a processor, which enables much faster calculations, as they happen in the memory circuit itself. In an article in Nature Electronics, the researchers present a new c

What are opinions, what are facts and what are outright lies? The latest PISA assessment clearly shows that children and young adults have difficulties navigating the fast flow of information in society today. When anyone at all can make their voice heard it also becomes more difficult to recognise misleading information and fake news. Together, actors, performing arts teachers and researchers are

Where, how often, and how much it is going to rain or snow in the future is difficult to predict. Anders Ahlström studies the importance of precipitation for ecosystems on Earth – and contributes with new knowledge in a complex and fraught area. Across the world, researchers are in agreement on future warming patterns. However, future precipitation is more difficult to predict, and climate models
