Publicerad 4 juli 2019 Konstnärlig tolkning av ett asteroidbälte. Illustration: NASA. 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 ring

Publicerad 14 augusti 2019 Forskarna kritiserar EU:s jordbrukspolitik för att premiera produktion framför hållbarhet. 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
