Mats E. Eriksson, professor i paleontologi vid geologiska institutionen, har gjort sig känd för att namnge fossil efter hårdrocksstjärnor. Nu debuterar han med pikareskromanen Death: The Antidote To Misery där både skräckrockare, forskare och konstentusiaster får sitt lystmäte. Mats E. Eriksson är inte bara vanvettigt intresserad av urtidsdjur som dog ut för flera miljoner år sedan. Han hyser även

Reducerad jordbearbetning innan sådd gynnar symbiotiska svampar, det visar Sofia Hydboms avhandling Tillage practices and their impact on soil organic carbon and the microbial community. För lantbrukare som är inriktade på växtodling har jordbearbetning, som till exempel plöjning, länge varit en självklar del av jor

Hur kan forskningsresultat kommuniceras bortom den akademiska texten? Genusvetarna Elin Lundell och Mia Liinason har valt ett nytt sätt: att översätta sin forskning till en animerad film. Teoretisk utgångspunktArtikeln som ligger till grund för filmen analyserar hur gränser mellan religion och sekularitet konstrueras och upprätthålls i samtida Sverige. Studien tar sin utgångspunkt i feministisk te

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed a faster method to generate functional brain cells, called astrocytes, from embryonic stem cells. Astrocytes play a significant role in neurodegenerative diseases. The new method reduces the time required to produce the cells from months to two weeks, and the study has been published in Nature Methods. “This means that it is now easier than b

As more and more countries move away from democracy and only seven per cent of the world’s population lives in liberal democracies, Europe’s self-image is being put to the test. At the university’s debate forum, ‘Debatt i Lund’, journalists and researchers came together to discuss whether the EU’s values and soft power still matter - or whether the world has already moved on. The liberal democracy

Den fråga forskarna ställde sig var varför de insulinbildande betacellerna har så rikligt med en nyupptäckt mottagare för A-vitamin? Deras svar är att vitamin A spelar en viktig roll både för betacellens utveckling i det tidiga st

Jiao Dong defended her Ph.D. thesis on the 8th of February 2023. Inspired by the memory of patients she met during her time as a student studying oral surgery in China, she has spent the past four years researching a regenerative medicine strategy that can be used to repair the function of the salivary gland. In this interview, we learn more about her innovative research efforts, the inspiration b
Research has shown that only one out of three individuals with osteoarthritis receives appropriate care. Doctoral candidate Simone Battista aims to explore why many osteoarthritis patients are not offered the right treatment. Simultaneously, he seeks to understand how aware individuals with osteoarthritis are of available treatments to alleviate osteoarthritis symptoms. This study is a collaborati
Packed tightly together like sparkling beehives in space. That's what the globular clusters of hundreds of thousands of stars look like. Now, for the first time, a team of researchers can reveal how these ancient and mysterious star systems are actually formed.

By utilising quantum mechanics, a quantum computer can solve computational problems that today's supercomputers cannot. But there are problems. As the circuits in quantum computers get bigger, they become more difficult to control. Now researchers have demonstrated a new way to construct quantum circuits for individual light particles.

Using the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope in Chile, astronomers have made detailed observations of the mysterious exoplanet WASP-121 b. The discoveries of the element titanium and jet streams challenge our understanding of the winds and chemistry found on ultrahot planets. Just over 5,800 exoplanets – planets that orbit stars other than our Sun – have been discovered since the

Through the years, most gender norms have been challenged or changed in modern society. Yet each Christmas, a strikingly similar image of Santa Claus appears in the media and in our homes. What is is about Santa Claus that makes him immune to the criticism that other male patriarchal figures have endured? ”A lot of Swedish parents these days are very gender aware and progressive.
