Ett brus utan betydelse. Det var den första tolkningen som Sallie Chisholm och hennes kollegor gjorde när de på 1980-talet använde ny teknik för att studera mikroorganismer i Stilla Havet och Atlanten. Men den första tolkningen var fel och för ett par veckor sedan tog Sallie Chisholm emot årets Crafoord­pris i Lund – och passade på att besöka Karin Rengefors i hennes laboratorium. Det var inget br

Inom medicinsk forskning görs betydande insatser med att kartlägga genomet för att patienter med sällsynta sjukdomar ska kunna få en diagnos. Genom ny teknologi får vi svaret på flera tidigare olösta gåtor. Spinocerebellär ataxi typ 4 har varit ett av dessa svårlösta fall och där en forskargrupp i Lund nu identifierat vilken gen som ligger bakom de svåra sjukdomssymtomen. Nära en halv miljon männi

Semestern hägrar. För många dyker bilder av dagar med sol, bad och resor upp på näthinnan. Och av en själv i hängmattan, djupt försjunken i en spännande deckare. Lunds universitets ­deckarexpert Kerstin Bergman gör nedslag i den svenska deckargenrens utveckling och förklarar varför vi gärna väljer just detta som semesterläsning. Genrens själva konstruktion är ett av skälen till varför vi gärna läs

Urban Transition Öresund: Comparison of cost models supports retrofitting Copenhagen city is one of many European cities in need of energy retrofitting for its many older apartment buildings. But the related high costs tend to slow down the work. With IIIEE researchers contribution on knowledge of the pros and cons of different financing models, Copenhagen is advancing its work.Most European citie

Many of us have worked more remotely during the pandemic than we ever dreamed of doing. Informatics researcher Saonee Sarker has been studying IT-enabled collaboration and its impact on work-life balance for many years, but mainly with a focus on the IT sector. Today, she sees how that industry's digital settings has moved to encompass us all. The bookshelves in Saonee Sarker's office at the Schoo

Reconfigurable transistors are key elements in the development of future semiconductors. As conventional transistors approach the limit of how small they can become, more functions in the same number of units will become increasingly important in developing small and energy-efficient circuits for better memories and more powerful computers. In two articles published in Science Advances and Nature

In 2028, the first observations will be made at the world's largest optical telescope being built in Chile. It is now clear that the facility will be equipped with a powerful spectrograph that researchers in Lund will help to develop. The telescope is called the Extremely Large Telescope and is being built by the European Southern Observatory, ESO - an international organisation with 16 member cou

Congratulations to Hanna Bach who defended her thesis "Navigating Sustainable Shipping - Multi-scalar Transition Dynamics in the Maritime Shipping Sector." We took the opportunity to ask Hanna some questions about her research. Why did you choose to focus on the maritime shipping sector? What was it about the subject that interested you from the start?- The sea, boats and ships, and especially sai

Using a new method, diabetes researchers at Lund University, Sweden, have been able to reveal more of the genetic complexity behind type 2 diabetes. The new research findings have been achieved as a result of access to human insulin-producing cells from deceased donors and through not only studying one gene variant, but many genes and how thay influcence the level of the gene in pancreatic islets

De senaste 50 åren har mängden vatten utan syre mer än fyrdubblats i de öppna haven. I kustnära vatten, inklusive flodmynningar och hav, har områden med syrebrist mer än tiodubblats sedan 1950. Att skydda känsliga arter, ta kontroll på övergödning och klimatförändringar samt förbättra spårteknik är några lösningar på problemet, enligt forskare från bland annat Lunds universitet. - Tillräckligt med

Det har funnits farhågor att svininfluensa-vaccinet Pandemrix skulle öka risken för fler autoimmuna sjukdomar än narkolepsi. En ny studie med barn från Sverige och Finland visar dock att varken risken för autoantikroppar mot de insulinproducerande betacellerna eller typ 1-diabetes, var ökad. – Tvärtom var risken mindre bland de vaccinerade barnen i Finland, vilket vi nu ska undersöka vidare, säger
