För första gången har forskare kopplat specifika defekter i spermier till graviditetskomplikationer och negativ effekt på barnets hälsa. Studien från Lunds universitet visar att DNA-skador på pappans spermier fördubblar risken för havandeskapsförgiftning för kvinnor som blivit gravida genom IVF. Dessutom ökar risken för barnet att födas för tidigt. Ungefär 20–30 procent av alla barn som föds med h

The chances of being cured of breast cancer have increased in recent decades, however if the tumour has metastasised, the disease remains essentially incurable. One reason for this could be that the metastases are detected late, after they have grown enough to cause symptoms or be seen on a radiological scan. If they could be found sooner, it might be possible to treat the new tumours. Research fi

When you are cleaning your car with your high-pressure washer have you ever considered how it works? Well we have and to figure that out we need to see how the liquid looks like in 3D. As is seen in the video above we have 3D reconstructed the surface of a cone-like liquid using a technique developed at the division of combustion physics. This technique apply lasers and a single high-speed camera
