Christina Isaxon has always been interested in how small particles in the air affect our health. As society’s use of nanomaterials increases, research questions about safety are becoming urgent. ‟We need to know more about the conditions in which nanoparticles can affect us and how we can safely handle these materials.” Her research is about understanding how nanoparticles are generated and releas

Carbon Capture and Storage, CCS, technologies have been identified as key to reduce harmful emissions and to mitigate the effects of climate change. A new study, focusing on leading CCS countries, Norway and Brazil, identifies how these technologies should be implemented equitably, applied to hard-to -abate industrial sectors, and not used to justify continued fossil fuel dependency.

Genom avancerade sedimentanalyser har ett forskarlag kartlagt europeiska klimatvariationer under de senaste 60 000 åren. Forskarna kan bland annat slå fast att det förekommit oförklarliga klimatsvängningar som varat mellan 20 och 150 år. I studien som publiceras i den vetenskapliga tidskriften Nature Geoscience kan forskarna presentera helt nya uppgifter om Europas historiska klimat. Tack vare sed

Genom analyser av borrkärnor från Grönland och Antarktis har ett forskarlag lett från Lunds universitet hittat spår av en extrem solstorm som inträffade för cirka 9 200 år sedan. Det som förbryllar forskarna är att stormen ägde rum under en av solens mer passiva faser, då man tidigare trott att jorden var mindre exponerad för sådana händelser. Solen är en förutsättning för allt liv på jorden. Men

On 13th of February, a transplant of stem cell-derived nerve cells was administered to a person with Parkinson’s at Skåne University Hospital, Sweden. The product has been developed by Lund University and it is now being tested in patients for the first time. The transplantation product is generated from embryonic stem cells and functions to replace the dopamine nerve cells which are lost in the p

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Five seconds is enough to assess the status of a hockey player’s groin. For the first time, a simple field test, called the five-second squeeze test, has been used on icehockey players to see if it can indicate current hip/groin function and hip muscle strength.

So far, the way dolphins navigate, find food and socialise using sound signals has baffled researchers. Josefin Starkhammar, senior lecturer at the Division for Biomedical Engineering, together with colleagues, has now developed an algorithm which brings us closer to understanding the cetaceans’ phenomenal signalling system. In future, the new algorithm could be used to protect dolphins and to dev
