What is the perfect recipe for semiconductors? Vanya Darakchieva is working on the answer in her research on novel semiconductor materials. As a professor of solid state physics at the Faculty of Engineering (LTH), she is a “research chef” designing the future cookbook for sustainable and safe electronics. Understanding and explaining the mysteries of nature was Vanya Darakchieva’s dream during he

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Can tumors teach us about animal evolution on Earth? Researchers believe so and now present a novel hypothesis of why animal diversity increased dramatically on Earth about half a billion years ago. A biological innovation may have been key. A transdisciplinary and international team, from Lund University in Sweden an

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. A new study from Lund University in Sweden shows that plastic particles in water may end up inside fish brains. The plastic can cause brain damage, which is the likely cause of behavioural disorders observed in the fish. Calculations have shown that 10 per cent of all plastic produced around the world ultimately ends

In a debate forum a week or so ago, an international panel discussed how museums, art and culture can be used in teaching. The event was organised, for all those interested, by Lund University’s Division for Higher Education Development (AHU) in collaboration with Lena Örnberg within the Object-Based Learning (OBL) project. The meeting was held online and the panel participants were real experts i

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Our opinions are affected by what our eyes are focusing on in the same instant we make moral decisions. Researchers at Lund University and other institutions have managed to influence people’s responses to questions such as “is murder defensible?” by tracking their eye movements. When the participants had looked at a

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. In the so far largest clinical study of the development of microbiomes, i.e. intestinal flora, in infants, researchers at the Baylor College of Medicine, USA, have found that development takes place in different phases that can be associated with lifestyle changes during the early stages in life. The findings are base

A mapping conducted at Lund University shows that 40 per cent of all adults that has the disease got it at an average age of 67. Bo Hansson received his diagnosis the year before he retired during a routine visit to the Occupational Health Service. “The doctor said, ‘You have diabetes, I will prescribe you some pills.’” Today, thirteen years later, Bo and his wife Gerty receive us at their home in

In the Colombian rainforest, cattle ranching is spreading and leading to forest fires and deforestation. This threatens the environment, climate and indigenous people in the Amazon. More efficient use of existing pastures and alternative livelihoods are some of the factors needed to protect the rainforest, according to a new thesis by Jesica López. Colombia's rainforest is part of the Amazon and i

Lund University has received SEK 56 million from the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation to finance two research projects. One will aim to find innovative ways of repairing an injured brain, and the other will investigate the crucial effect silicon has on the climate. Malin Parmar, professor of Cellular Neuroscience at Lund University, will lead a five-year project, which has now been granted alm

The University Management Group visited Utrecht University at the end of April. After several educational days in Utrecht, they came away inspired and full of new ideas and thoughts about open science, holistic thinking, collaboration and teaching qualifications. The University Management Group have written about their experiences of their study visit to Utrecht and the lessons and thoughts they b

This year’s report from the V-Dem Institute’s Academic Freedom Index focuses in particular on the institutional autonomy of higher education institutions in different countries, which in turn is fundamental to the protection of individual academic freedom.  This includes countries such as Hungary, which began its steady decline from a high ranking in institutional autonomy in 2009 to a bottom-of-t

Ett naturligt ämne från äppelträdets bark har potential att förändra den vanligaste dialysbehandlingen i hemmet. Ämnet blockerar nämligen cellerna från att ta upp glukos från dialysvätskan, vilket effektiviserar vattenborttagning och förhindrar viktökning. Upptäckten som publiceras i Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, markerar ett paradigmskifte menar forskaren och ST-läkaren Carl Öber

Över två miljoner människor, bara i Sverige, lever med sjukdom kopplat till hjärta och lungor. Framgångsrik forskning har bidragit till att färre dör, men hjärt-lungsjukdomar är fortfarande bland de vanligaste dödsorsakerna. Nu delar Hjärt-Lungfonden ut 76 miljoner kronor till forskning vid Lunds universitet. Fyra av de 37 forskarna som får projektanslag i denna omgång är:  Henrik Engblom, adjunge

The university receives around one million emails every day. About 90% of them are unsolicited messages. To mitigate the risks involved, the university will move the email service to a more secure solution. This move has been brought forward due to recent disruptions. The unwanted messages consist of spam, attempts to steal passwords, so-called CEO scams or other unwanted messages. To facilitate t

Deeper relationships with colleagues we were already close with, while others drifted further away. During the pandemic, spontaneous meetings decreased, and we created social filter bubbles. This is shown by a study from Lund University in Sweden that investigated how we managed our work relationships during the Covid-19 pandemic. During the pandemic, many colleagues were reduced to tiny digital f

Economic conditions influence whether and when people choose to have children. A new report from the Swedish government inquiry A Future with Children, led by LUSEM economist Åsa Hansson, shows how financial risks – particularly for women – may be contributing to declining birth rates. Fewer children are being born in Sweden, and economic conditions may play a larger role than previously assumed.

Varje dag dör fyra människor i Sverige i självmord. Bättre strategier för bedömning av suicidrisk, ökad kunskap inom primärvården och större fokus på dem som tidigare gjort självmordsförsök, kan sannolikt rädda fler liv. Det visar en ny avhandling om suicid och riskfaktorer, som nu läggs fram vid Lunds universitet. – Över 90 procent av de personer som dör i suicid i Sverige, har haft kontakt med h

Sambandet djupa blodsockerfall och försämrade kognitiva funktioner hos barn med typ 1-diabetes är i forskningen väl undersökt och beskrivet. Men hur det är med de äldre är mer okänt, bland de som har haft sjukdomen i många år och haft flera, kanske många, djupa blodsockerfall. Hur har deras kognition påverkats av sj

Forskare vid Lunds universitet har tillsammans med kollegor vid synkotronanläggningen NIST i USA, på atomnivå kartlagt vad som sker i en viruspartikel när temperaturen höjs. – När temperaturen höjs, byter virusets genetiska material form samt densitet och blir mer vätskeliknande – vilket leder till att det snabbt injiceras i cellen, säger Alex Evilevitch, som lett studien som nu publiceras i PNAS.
