A research team has succeeded in analysing two temporally consecutive species of fossilised brittle stars. The findings show that a marine catastrophe 428 million years ago contributed to a radical change in the animals’ appearance. The new study clarifies how environmental disruptions can set off major evolutionary processes. Brittle stars are a group of echinoderms that are closely related to st

Through analyzes of ice cores from Greenland and Antarctica, a research team led by Lund University in Sweden has found evidence of an extreme solar storm that occurred about 9,200 years ago. What puzzles the researchers is that the storm took place during one of the sun's more quiet phases – during which it is generally believed our planet is less exposed to such events. The sun is a prerequisite

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. How creative are research studies? What can be done to make them more creative? LUM has met Samuel West, who is not only a doctoral student, but who actually does research on creativity. Samuel West had worked as a psychologist for many years when he decided four years ago to do a PhD. Now he is looking back on his re

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Biologists at Lund University in Sweden have in a recent study shown that the great tit, a common European songbird, has a tremendous capacity for self-control. Up to now, such impulse control has been primarily associated with larger cognitively advanced animals with far larger brains than the great tit. According to

In a new book, sociologist Lisa Flower shows how lawyers manage their emotions in the courtroom, where emotional displays traditionally are unwelcomed. People practicing and studying law often ignore the role emotions play in court. The idea is that feelings disturb the rationality that is the judicial discipline’s fo

The ostrich is genetically wired to adapt to rising or falling temperatures. However, when the temperature fluctuates more often, as it does with climate change, the flightless bird with a 40-gram brain finds it much more difficult. A research team at Lund University has shown that the ostrich is very sensitive to fluctuating temperatures in terms of whether it reproduces. If the temperature rises

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

Ny teknik kan underlätta äldre personers aktivitet, men då måste de involveras i teknikutvecklingen. Det framgår i en ny avhandling av William Son Galanza, SWEAH-doktorand i forskargruppen Tillämpad gerontologi i Lund, som har tagit fram en AI-modell som kan kategorisera äldres vardagsaktiviteter. Den äldre befolkningen växer och teknikanvändningen ökar. – Teknik bidrar till bättre livskvalitet om
