Forskare vid Lunds universitet har bidragit till att skapa en ny, uppdaterad version av en global klimatmodell som ska öka förståelsen för den globala uppvärmningen. Genom den nya modellen kan man nu titta på hur markanvändning och en förändrad växtlighet påverkar, och påverkas av, klimatförändringarna. Det är första gången som vegetation och markanvändning, och i synnerhet på den här detaljerade

Nu har forskare för första gången lyckats bevisa att en del av asteroiderna i vårt solsystem ursprungligen föddes längre bort. Enligt studien har vissa asteroider i ung ålder påverkats kraftigt av de jättelika gasplaneternas gravitation. Mellan planeterna Mars och Jupiter ligger tiotusentals asteroider i ett ringformat bälte runt solen. Tidigare beräkningar har gjort gällande att en del av dessa a

Rovdjur utgör inte bara ett omedelbart dödshot för många djur. De påverkar dem även rent fysiskt genom att finnas i deras närhet. Forskare vid Lunds universitet har undersökt vad som händer med bytesdjurens immunförsvar när de tvingas lägga en stor del av sin energi på att undvika att bli uppätna. För att skydda sig kan vissa djur skifta färg, andra ändrar kroppsform. Ett exempel på det senare är

Mindre åkrar och en större variation av grödor ger en god effekt på den biologiska mångfalden i jordbrukslandskap. Det visar en omfattande internationell studie där forskare från Lunds universitet har deltagit. Den positiva effekten går att jämföra med den som till exempel bevarad ängsmark och blommande remsor längs åkrar ger. – Små fält ses ofta som ett hinder för ett rationellt jordbruk, efterso

EU:s förslag till ny jordbrukspolitik håller inte måttet. Det menar en internationell forskargrupp som granskat reformförslaget. Varken miljöskydd eller klimatmål förbättras, snarare tvärtom, säger Dagmar Clough, ekolog vid Lunds universitet och en av dem som står bakom studien. I höst börjar den sista förhandlingsrundan om den jordbrukspolitik som ska gälla i EU efter år 2020. Inför överläggninga

Superconductors are materials that can conduct electricity without resistance and are used in electromagnets, antennas and power lines. Researchers have now studied a multifaceted superconductor that exhibits a so-called vortex lattice when exposed to a magnetic field. The discovery could revolutionise technological development. Smart superconductors are predicted to change our everyday lives fund

Enhancing cancer treatment by improving how therapeutic nanoparticles enter and act within cells is a promising direction. Christelle Prinz and her team have shown that photothermal therapy is more effective when the nanoparticles target the endoplasmic reticulum, which is achieved by performing nanostraw injections. Gold nanoparticles, especially a type called AuSHINs, show great promise for trea
