Universitetets holdingbolag byter namn till LU Ventures. Det nya namnet ska bättre återspegla verksamhetens uppdrag: att bygga bolag för att omvandla forskning till nya produkter och tjänster som skapar global nytta. ”Vi är tredje bäst i världen, men vi ska inte nöja oss – mer forskning måste leda till innovationer”, sa rektor Erik Renström. Han hänvisar till en rapport som nyligen visade att Lund

På en åker cirka en mil utanför Lund samlades ett 40-tal entusiastiska forskare en regnig dag i slutet av oktober för att inviga en ny forskningsinfrastruktur, och samarbete med Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet (SLU) i Alnarp. Deras entusiasm handlar om perenna (fleråriga) grödors potential att förändra dagens jordbruk från grunden – där den nya forskningsinfrastrukturen i Alnarp kan bli en viktig pu

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Flera gener som ökar risken för övervikt och fetma är redan kända men nu rapporterar en holländsk forskargrupp att de funnit en smal-gen, en genetisk variant som minskar risken. Ämnet reservatol, som finns bland annat i rött vin, aktiverar smal-genen, åtminstone hos möss. Att genen SIRT1 tilldrar sig allt större int

What does your work consist of? As a coordinator, I have an overarching perspective since I work with all the faculty’s programmes. My job is partly to coordinating all written exams in the QPS system, and optimise the processes around this, and partly to provide training and support to the faculty's teachers and administrators. Currently I am focused on the written exams, but further on I will wo

The dance that binary stars do around each other offers new clues to the chemical evolution of our Galaxy, the Milky Way – so says a current research study. For the first time, researchers have identified the link between the orbiting times of certain binary stars and the amount of iron in their interiors. Binary star

Using 150 000 images from the Perseverance space rover, an international research team has studied the Western delta in Jezero crater, Mars, revealing evidence of deltas that advanced into a lake. The new discovery not only provides important keys to the geological history of our neighbouring planet, and it also intensifies the search for life. A cloud of red smoke.

A research team led by Lund University in Sweden has investigated a meteorite from Mars using neutron and X-ray tomography. The technology, which will probably be used when NASA examines samples from the Red Planet in 2030, showed that the meteorite had limited exposure to water, thus making life at that specific time and place unlikely. In a cloud of smoke, NASA's spacecraft Perseverance parachut

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
