Stefan Karlsson has been active as a researcher at Lund University for 25 years and during that time has received many major grants and awards. However, never a gold medal. - It feels like a very great honor because the medal is only awarded every nine years for medical research efforts, says Stefan KarlssonThe Royal

In a new study published in Science Advances, researchers Gabriele Cobucci and Armin Tavakoli present a new method to analyze a complex form of quantum entanglement involving multiple particles. The new method opens the door to a deeper understanding of quantum mechanics, a field known for its strange and often counterintuitive phenomena. Quantum entanglement, where particles are coupled together

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

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. Enrico Ronchi conducts fire research at Lund University in Sweden, and is an expert on evacuations during wildfires – how pe

However, the cure for the disease comes with a price: some of the survivors will suffer long-term injury from the treatment. A study from Lund University in Sweden now shows that commonly used chemo toxins impair the eyesight in childhood c

With the objective of digitising Swedish printed material from the 1400s to modern times, a collaboration has been established between the National Library of Sweden and the five university libraries in Lund, Gothenburg, Stockholm, Uppsala, and Umeå. The undertaking lays the basis of a long-term digitisation undertaking. The material included in the digitisation comprises books, newspapers, magazi

Nicholas Leigh came from the United States to Sweden and Lund University four years ago to study salamanders and how they can regenerate everything from legs, tails and even parts of the heart. In addition to his research, he has also been advocating for more inclusive research environments. It was the ability of moose to grow new antlers after shedding that first sparked Nicholas Leigh’s interest

For its fourth edition of All My Relations, the Ecocamp transforms into a nomadic experience. This year, we embrace movement—not just as a physical act, but as a metaphor for existence itself. Walking, travelling, and traversing landscapes will be central to our practice, fostering new connections on the move and reflecting on migration, transition, and relational encounters.

Global warming has meant that diseases such as West Nile fever, NTM infections, and new tick-borne viruses are on their way or have already taken hold in Sweden. People are being affected by new diseases, and challenges for the health system are increasing. Among other things, everything is prepared to start screening blood donors for West Nile fever in Region Skåne in southern Sweden. Tropical di

A research team has created artificial animals that over time develop functioning vision from scratch – from simple light sensitivity to the ability to discern objects. This happened despite the fact that the digital creatures weren’t given any instructions. The results show how AI can be used to understand the inner secrets of evolution. Imagine that you are sitting in front of a computer. In the

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed a method which determines not only whether a chemical or substance is allergenic, but also how strong its potential for causing hypersensitivity is. This will aid in the establishment of so-called threshold values – or how much of a substance is safe to use in a

A 30-year-old genetic mystery has been solved. It has previously been established that touch can trigger stress reactions in plants. However, the molecular models for explaining this process have been quite spartan so far. Now researchers at Lund University in Sweden have found genetic keys that explain how plants respond so strongly to mechanical stimuli. Cracking this code could help lead to hig

In 2022–2023, food prices in Sweden rose by 25 per cent. But it wasn't just households' wallets that were hit hard by the price increases – public health was too. Swedish consumers ate less dietary fibre, fruit and vegetables, according to a new report from Lund University. "A 25 per cent increase is historically unique. The last time food prices rose so much was in the 1950s, and interestingly, w
