Ice sheets, snow and the ocean as far as the eye can see. No shipping vessels or people in sight, and only polar bears for company. The icebreaker Oden sails between Svalbard and Greenland, and this spring, doctoral student Lovisa Nilsson joined the ship to study the transition from winter to summer in the Arctic, and how soot affects the melting of sea ice. For six weeks, the spaces onboard Oden

Mathematics Professor Kalle Åström studies the future of agriculture with the help of artificial intelligence (AI). He develops mathematical models to optimise harvests and contribute to climate-friendly agriculture. Artificial intelligence and agriculture may seem like two different worlds, but not for Kalle Åström. On the contrary, he sees synergies and is keen to bring the two together. The Pro

An international team led by researchers at Lund University in Sweden has identified the molecular tools needed to reprogram ordinary cells into specialised immune cells. The discovery, published in Immunity, could pave the way for more precise and personalised cancer immunotherapies. The team has taken an important step toward harnessing the immune system to fight cancer. Their work describes how

Hi Oleksandr! You graduated from the master’s degree programme in European and International Trade and Tax Law in 2016. Can you tell us more about what you have been doing since your graduation?Since graduating in 2016, my career has really taken off. I first moved to sunny Malta, where I joined the international tax team at Deloitte. It was an exciting time to be in the field, with major developm

Many campaigns encourage people to think and talk about the social and environmental consequences of what they buy and sell. A new study by Iker Arregui Alegria, Gunes Gokmen, and Roel van Veldhuizen examines whether this kind of awareness can change behavior in markets, leading firms to offer less harmful products and consumers to choose them. The study finds that this only happens when both side

Work is slowly starting back up again after a long and much-needed break. Before I turn my attention to what lies ahead, I would like to begin by looking back briefly. At the end of last autumn, I travelled to Chicago, partly to visit my son, who is an exchange student at Illinois Institute of Technology, and partly to visit the University of Chicago to explore potential collaborations.

One of the honorary awards in this year’s “Future Innovations Award 2025” went to NanoLundian Mattias Borg. He is awarded for his, Johannes Svensson's, and Johan Lundgren’s major climate impact project “Detecting greenhouse gas leaks with room-temperature camera sensor”. Since its launch in 2017, the Future Innovations Award has recognised ideas that can “change our world for the better”. This yea

Christmas coming and a kind reminder that LED lights should be used. The Faculty’s Fire protection manager, Linus Jeppsson, shares his best tips for safe and cosy December. 1 December is Smoke Alarm Day, when the public is encouraged to test their smoke alarms to ensure that they work. At the Faculty, fire detectors and alarms are checked regularly throughout the year. Linus Jeppsson, the Faculty'

International text theft is difficult to deal with, especially for individual researchers. The University should take the lead, and find out how plagiarism issues are dealt with in different countries and what authorities exist there. So says Haro de Grauw, the doctoral student ombudsman. “The University could have such a resource, and gather knowledge on how such issues are handled in different c

Linguist Sara Farshchi's research was plagiarised by three Ukrainian researchers who published it as their own. Five months have passed since Professor Carita Paradis discovered that parts of her former doctoral student Sara Farshchi's five-year-old thesis had been plagiarised by three Ukrainian researchers and that the plagiarism had been published by international publishers Springer, among othe

You are out in the woods taking your new profile picture when suddenly a fog rolls in. First you think it is mystical and perfect, but it is so thick that you just look like a blurry blob in the pictures. Do not dispair just yet, this master project might be just what you need. The reason that you are looking blurred in the pictures is scattering. The photons that travel through the fog from you t

How should we collaborate on a national strategy for semiconductors? The answer could be closer than we think. After the panel discussion during “Politics Week” in Almedalen, Lund University is now taking the first step towards establishing a national competence center for semiconductors. The shortage of semiconductors is a global challenge that requires quick solutions. During the recent Almedal

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Together with his research team, Lars-Erik Wernersson, professor of nanoelectronics at Lund University in Sweden, has developed a technology for smarter transistors which could be used in electronics that operate on low energy, such as sensors for the Internet of Things. Using the new transistors on a large scale coul

Kan det amerikanska sjukvårdssystemet dra nytta av ett forskningsprojekt i skånska primärvården? Ja, det tycker USA’s nationella forskningsfinansiär NIH. Ett anslag på 33 miljoner kronor går nu till Oskar Hansson vid Lunds universitet och hans senaste projekt inom alzheimerforskning. Vi vill se om diagnostiken av Alzheimers i primärvården kan underlättas genom att använda blodprovet. Oskar Hansson
