Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed a computational model which is effective in detecting and identifying genetic mutations in breast tumours. The study, the largest of its kind in the world, includes results from over 3 200 patients with breast cancer. The researchers used RNA sequencing, a sensitive, precise tool which has very gradually started to be applied clinically, alth

A new instrument on the four-metre VISTA telescope at the European Southern Observatory in Chile has recently captured its first starlight. This marks the beginning of a new era in astronomy, as researchers prepare to map the sky in unprecedented detail. The instrument does not take ordinary images of the night sky. Instead, 4MOST – the Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope – collects spectra, that

Astronomers invited members of the public to look at the spring skies through the teaching telescopes. There are a number of both historical and modern telescopes at Lund Observatory.  Usually these are used for teaching purposes but every now and then the astronomers decide to stay at work late into the evening in order to give members of the public the chance for some stargazing. This spring thr
