During the unusually dry year of 2018, Sweden was hit by numerous forest fires. A research team led from Lund University in Sweden has investigated how climate change affects recently burnt boreal forests and their ability to absorb carbon dioxide. The boreal forests form a single biome that spans the entire Northern Hemisphere. These forests play a key role in the global climate system by absorbi

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

By analyzing DNA with the help of artificial intelligence (AI), an international research team led by Lund University in Sweden has developed a method that can accurately date up to ten-thousand year-old human remains. Accurately dating ancient humans is key when mapping how people migrated during world history. The standard dating method since the 1950s has been radiocarbon dating. The method, wh

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Over the past 50 years, the water in lakes and watercourses has turned increasingly brown. The so-called browning has a negative impact on both drinking water production and ecosystems. If nothing is done, the water is likely to turn even browner – however, there is hope. Supported by a new study, researchers from Lun

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Extremely acute vision and the ability to rapidly process different visual impressions – these two factors are crucial when a peregrine falcon bears down on its prey at a speed that easily matches that of a Formula 1 racing car: over 350 kilometres per hour. The visual acuity of birds of prey has been studied extensiv

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The fluttery flight of butterflies has so far been somewhat of a mystery to researchers, given their unusually large and broad wings relative to their body size. Now researchers at Lund University in Sweden have studied the aerodynamics of butterflies in a wind tunnel. The results suggest that butterflies use a highly

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have taken an important step on the road to understanding the underlying mechanism of how and why animals can feel pain in connection with cold or heat. However, according to the study, temperature is just one triggering factor – horseradish, mustard, cinnamon and wasabi have a

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have succeeded in developing a simple hydrocarbon molecule with a logic gate function, similar to that in transistors, in a single molecule. The discovery could make electric components on a molecular scale possible in the future. The results are published in Nature Communications. Manufacturing very small components is an important challenge in both resear

The University management’s view of the government’s proposed model for the profile areas is that it has both advantages and disadvantages. However, it is important to be prepared and to use this opportunity to reinforce the University’s research regardless. The first information meeting about the profile areas at Lund University was held on 12 November. It was well-attended and many questions cam

During 2021, Lund University made several major investments in sustainability, in research, education, external engagement and its own organisation. Everything from solar cells on the roofs to new doctoral students and postdocs focused on Agenda 2030. Lund University’s sustainability work is now presented in an annual summary. Knowledge about the path to a sustainable society is needed now more th

For those who have been following the course of events surrounding pro-Palestinian demonstrations and how tent camps were established on American campuses and then spread to other parts of the world, it will not come as a surprise that such demonstrations have now reached Sweden.
