Olof the bird – a stuffed bird of prey with a stern expression – currently stands in the heart of The Science Student Union (LUNA), keeping watch over students’ discussions and union activities. But few are eager to get too close. A sign next to him warns that his plumage contains arsenic.  The warning has become a talking point – is Olof really so toxic that he should be placed behind protective

Jordens magnetfält har betydelse när man försöker kartlägga solens aktivitet bakåt i tiden. Det framgår av en ny forskningsstudie. Forskarna har satt fingret på den viktiga ledtråden att jordens magnetfält varierar i styrka mellan norra och södra halvklotet. Forskare från bland annat Lunds universitet har rekonstruerat solens aktivitet över de senaste 9 000 åren. Närmare bestämt har man velat unde

När covid-19-pandemin svepte över världen 2020 blev mRNA-vaccinerna räddningen för många – men i bakgrunden fanns en annan, mindre känd hjälte: lipidnanopartikeln. Utan dessa små ”fettdroppar” hade vaccinet aldrig kunnat levereras in i kroppens celler. Och faktum är att den lär få fler uppdrag framöver. Det kan vara den som löser leverans av gensaxen och de nya genterapierna in i kroppen. När värl

The Swedish energy agency has warned of an energy deficit and the posibility of rolling blackouts that might follow if we don't flatten the curve of energy consumption. The main reason for the shortage is due to repairs on some of our nuclear power facilites. The Swedish government and Lund University asks us to help save energy in these times, to prevent rolling blackouts. Electricity shortage Th

Nowadays it is possible to produce plastics from sugar or vegetable oils, but up to now fossil oil has been too cheap for the production of bioplastics to be profitable. That explains why the plastic-producing bacteria, developed some years ago by researchers at the Centre for Chemistry and Chemical Engineering (Kemic
