During regulation of blood glucose levels, various hormones interact and counteract with each other in a complex manner. Together, these hormones maintain stable glucose levels. The recent mapping of hormonal interactions, carried out by scientists at Lund University Diabetes Centre (LUDC), aimed to explain why an imb

For the first time, researchers have been able to measure the quantum state of electrons ejected from atoms that have absorbed high-energy light pulses. This is thanks to a new measurement technique developed by researchers at Lund University in Sweden. The results can provide a better understanding of the interaction between light and matter. When high-energy light with a very short frequency in

Snow still lies like a soft white quilt over Lund as I meet Sofie Ceberg, Senior Lecturer and the Faculty’s new Coordinator for gender equality and equal opportunities. After a long winter break, she is full of energy and eager to take on the assignment. The role is intended to strengthen the Faculty’s long-term work on gender equality and equal opportunities (shortened to "JoL" in Swedish), with
Who are you – a separator or an integrator? Mobiles and laptops have created a working life where it is possible to work anytime and anywhere. In a major study, work environment researchers have identified how seven different personality types set boundaries – or not – between work and free time.
