Visible matter in the universe represents only five per cent of everything that exists. The rest is invisible dark matter and dark energy. Particle physicist Ruth Pöttgen is one of the Lund University researchers involved in the search for the mysterious dark matter of the universe. She is standing at her whiteboard in a small office at Fysicum. With the help of her pen, Ruth Pöttgen tries to pain

The University’s Annual Academic Ceremony on 23 January 2026 saw Denmark’s former head of state, Her Majesty Queen Margrethe II, made an Honorary Fellow of Lund University. Honorary fellows at the University are extremely rare (former Swedish Prime Minister Ingvar Carlsson is the only previous recipient of the title) and for a Danish Queen to be made an Honorary Fellow this time around seemed a hi

Can games serve as a method for spreading knowledge and inspiring action? If you ask Karl Sterner Isaksson and Jagdeep Singh, the answer is an obvious yes! They are both currently working on games about biodiversity and food waste, respectively, and they see games as a way to transform complex environmental challenges into something understandable, engaging – and fun!

The state is a necessity for implementing human rights, right? Starting her PhD thesis, Dr. Therese Boje Mortensen wanted to challenge the presumptions behind this philosophy, studying the case of NGOs in India. Five years later, we have the results. In December of 2023, Dr. Therese Boje Mortensen successfully defended her dissertation NGOs as Child Rights Implementers in India at Lund University.

That life is not fair is hardly news. But that inequalities are at risk of increasing as we seek to improve the health of the population is perhaps unexpected. Health economics is a way of evaluating the potential health benefits of different interventions, setting them against the economic cost and their impact on society. Over two million people in Sweden are currently living with cardiovascular

For six months, Jennifer Rainsford will be Artist in Residence at MAX IV – and will explore the research laboratories for synchrotron light. Inside the ring-shaped MAX IV building on the outskirts of Lund, extremely intense X-ray light known as synchrotron light is produced. The light, which is not visible to the naked eye, is used by researchers from around the globe to study materials, molecules

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. In a large hall on Margaretavägen in Lund, next to LDC, the air is full of the hum of computers. The supercomputers Alarik, Erik and Platon – the most powerful in southern Sweden – are busy computing complex problems that Lund University researchers are not able to solve on their own. At the moment, a simulation of a

The agricultural sector and industrial food system is a major contributor to climate change, and biodiversity loss, and particularly vulnerable to its impacts. It is therefore essential to re-think how the agricultural systems can sequester more carbon, and simultaneously create vital ecosystems.
