A new technology that makes hydrogen from forestry and agricultural residues that are currently burnt is being developed at Lund University. The plan is to efficiently produce a green gas that society needs - while cutting carbon emissions. The researchers' European consortium has received SEK 37 million from the EU Innovation Fund to realise the technology. Renewable hydrogen is no longer conside

For the first time, scientists have been able to measure the quantum state of electrons ejected from atoms that have absorbed high-energy light pulses. This is thanks to a new measurement technique developed by researchers at Lund University. This could provide a better understanding of fundamental research in the second generation of quantum revolution. When high-energy light with a very short wa

Using the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope in Chile, astronomers have made detailed observations of the mysterious exoplanet WASP-121 b. The discoveries of the element titanium and jet streams challenge our understanding of the winds and chemistry found on ultrahot planets. Just over 5,800 exoplanets – planets that orbit stars other than our Sun – have been discovered since the

På ekonomihögskolan utbildar Peter Jochumzen studenter i kurser kring matematik och mikroekonomi. Han menar att det finns stora utmaningar i kring hur man hanterar fusk där studenternas kunskap inte kan testas genom exempelvis uppsatser.  Peter skriver: I min mening  är den största utmaningen med hemtentamen att förhindra fusk. Särskilt gäller detta situationer då man vill utvärdera enskilda stude
