The dry summer of 2018 hit Swedish forests hard - and hardest affected were the managed secondary forests. This according to a new study from Lund University. Northern boreal forest ecosystems are predicted to experience more frequent summer droughts in the future. The majority of Swedish forest are secondary forests that are managed commercial forests with little diversity in species and structur

Although not yet decided, we have good reasons to believe that the funding of the 43 Strategic Research Areas (SRAs) including BECC will continue. As a result, we are now preparing for the long-term future, including a new internal structure where Challenged Themes replace the former Clusters with the aim to increase the integration between disciplines. At the BECC 2015 annual meeting, we discusse

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Researchers have now managed to pinpoint what happens when light is absorbed by extremely small nanoclusters of silver atoms. The results may have useful application in the development of biosensors and in imaging. By combining chemistry and nanotechnology, the research community in recent years has developed a kind o

Genetics are one of the keys to understanding neurodegenerative disease. That is why MultiPark researchers with expertise in genetics gather across research groups. Genetics of neurodegenerative diseases is a new special interest group (SIG) addressing scientific and technological needs to unravel the genetics behind diseases such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. Andreas Puschmann tells about how h

Research at Lund University in Sweden has found a new way to create nano-sized magnetic particles using ultrafast laser light pulses. The discovery could pave the way for new and more energy-efficient technical components and become useful in the quantum computers of the future. Magnetic skyrmions are sometimes described as magnetic vortices. Unlike ferromagnetic states - which occur in convention

At the end of April, the Faculty Board decided that a new department, the Department of Communication, will be created. The establishment of the new department is part of the faculty's development towards fewer units, but the merger has also been motivated by additional reasons. The new department will be established on 1 January 2025 and the following units will be included: Department of Strateg

The Syrian "refugee crisis" in Europe and the war in Ukraine have highlighted the limitations of traditional asylum systems. It has also highlighted the potential of alternative approaches, such as temporary protection instruments. A new research project, focusing on Ukrainians and Syrians, is being launched to explore the potential of different legal and safe pathways. The project, called "Refuge

An upcoming book featuring reproductions of artworks from the Ravensbrück concentration camp tells the story of the horrific reality its female inmates had to endure. The book has been published entirely thanks to private donations.  In spring 1945, around seven thousand women, survivors of the Nazi concentration camp in Ravensbrück, came to Sweden as part of a Swedish-Danish rescue operation.

Scientists at Lund University have discovered for the first time that it is possible to detect insect DNA in the air. Using air from three sites in Sweden, insect DNA from 85 species could be identified. This offers scope for exploring a whole new way to monitor terrestrial biodiversity. These preliminary results will be presented at Ecology Across Borders (13th-15th December) via an online poster

With the market for fossil fuels in decline, the oil industry is investing heavily in the chemical and plastics industry instead. The strategy seems to be working: the plastics industry is growing faster than the global economy. Multibillion-dollar subsidies from states and publicly funded banks, combined with weak legislation, are reasons behind the rapid growth, according to a new report from Lu

The results of an observational study from Lund University in Sweden are clear: up to the age of two, a more fibre-rich diet seems to reduce the risk of coeliac disease. A particularly clear link was seen when children had eaten fibre-rich foods before the age of one. “This is the first time the risk of coeliac disease has been studied based on fibre in children’s diets.
