This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Plants and bacteria make use of sunlight with remarkably high efficiency: nine out of ten absorbed light particles are being put to use in an ordinary bacterium. For years it has been a pressing question of modern research whether or not effects from quantum physics are responsible for this outstanding performance of

A new study from Lund University in Sweden shows that the ability of microorganisms to adapt to climate warming will slow down global warming by storing carbon in soil. In the study, researchers collected soil samples from across Europe in a wide range of temperatures, from minus 3.1 to 18.3 degrees Celsius. The samples revealed that microorganisms in soils – such as bacteria and fungi – are stron

An international research team led by Lund University in Sweden has managed to study the flight behaviour of the mysterious black swift. They found, among other things, that the black swift rises to extreme heights during a full moon, seemingly catching insects in the moonlight. And, during a lunar eclipse, the birds simultaneously lost altitude. The results are published in Current Biology. The b

For a long time, microRNAs were thought to have no important function. But Johan Jakobsson at Lund University is convinced that it is key DNA that can affect different brain diseases such as Parkinson's, Huntington's, Alzheimer's disease or psychiatric illnesses. Research to date has talked mostly about genes but Johan Jakobsson and his research team are putting the spotlight on microRNAs. MicroRN

During extensive wildfires, residents may need to evacuate to stay safe, but knowing when to leave is sometimes unclear. A new study from Lund University in Sweden, among others, shows that people fleeing their homes drive more slowly than usual - despite time being crucial.

Researchers at Lund University have identified a previously unknown precursor stage of leukemia. The discovery may help explain why an especially aggressive form of blood cancer initiates already during fetal life. When we think of cancer, we usually imagine a disease that develops over many years in adults. But for one particular group of leukemia – acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) – it is quit
