Many developing countries are making progress, whereas others are stalling or falling behind. In the latter cases, transformation capacity needs to be reinforced to enable the countries to meet present and future societal challenges. In view of this, the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) has now signed a four-year agreement with Lund University in Sweden regarding commiss

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. Researchers have demonstrated a new way to construct quantum circuits for individual light particles. This could enable larger and more complex circuits – crucial to un

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

Packed tightly together like twinkling stellar beehives, these globular clusters are made up of hundreds of thousands of stars. Now, for the first time, a team of scientists can reveal how the ancient and mysterious star systems actually form. The existence of these globular clusters, comprising millions of stars, has been known since the invention of the telescope in the 17th century. Globular cl

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.

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. This hasn’t seeme

The discussion on the University’s establishment in Science Village has continued this year, but with a new focus. During the year, the project group for Stage 2, following a proposal from the Light and materials profile area, analysed possible scopes, needs for laboratories and logistics. With the help of architects, an initial drawing has been produced of a building, which could be located next

Ice sheets, snow and the ocean as far as the eye can see. No shipping vessels or people in sight, and only polar bears for company. The icebreaker Oden sails between Svalbard and Greenland, and this spring, doctoral student Lovisa Nilsson joined the ship to study the transition from winter to summer in the Arctic, and how soot affects the melting of sea ice. For six weeks, the spaces onboard Oden

The University’s strategic platform has been updated for 2025 and is now applicable until 2027. Looking ahead, the platform will now be reviewed annually to ensure that it is optimally calibrated. "It is very pleasing to see that the University has started to climb the rankings in recent years. Lots of measures across many fronts have played a role, including the initiatives on international impac

I Sverige är typ 2 diabetes fortfarande en ovanlig sjukdom bland barn och unga. I andra länder mycket vanligare. Flera studier har visat att sjukdomen för många orsakar allvarliga hälsokonsekvenser och att de kommer tidigt i livet. Den senaste rapporterade är Today-studien som kommer från USA och bygger på 500 typ 2 diabetiker som insjuknade i åldrarna 10 till 17 år. Resultaten baseras på upp till

Två vårdhundar istället för en. Trycket var stort den 5 maj när popup-eventet ”Mental Health on Campus” hölls i Forum Medicums entré. Syftet var att låta studenter dela med sig av sina tankar om psykisk ohälsa antingen via en digital anslagstavla eller post-it-lappar på plats. Två vårdhundsteam gästade eventet.
