Cake and a packed Rydberg Hall set the tone when Fysicum celebrated its 75th anniversary. The Department of Physics invited guests to a party, and the audience was treated to a dizzying journey through history, presented by Professor Erik Swietlicki. When Lund University was founded in 1666, there was no faculty of natural sciences. Instead, physics was part of the faculty of philosophy, and for a

Packed tightly together like sparkling beehives in space. That's what the globular clusters of hundreds of thousands of stars look like. Now, for the first time, a team of researchers can reveal how these ancient and mysterious star systems are actually formed. The existence of these spherical clusters of millions of stars has been known since the invention of the telescope in the 17th century. Th

Recently, a new instrument on the four-metre VISTA telescope at the European Southern Observatory in Chile captured its first starlight. This marks the start of a new era in astronomy, where researchers will map the sky in unprecedented detail. The instrument, called 4MOST (Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope), does not take ordinary images of the night sky. Instead, it collects spectra or colour

350-ÅRSJUBILEUM. Welcome to this symposium on Wednesday March 8th, where we look at poverty development in Sweden during the last 100 years & trends in men & women's incomes in Africa. Life expectancy in the Western world, like in Sweden, has expanded linearly by about 25 years during the 20th century, a bit more for women than men. At the same time, living standards have improved tremendously. In
