The large-eyed bristle worm Vanadis has long been of interest to the world’s vision researchers. But the worm has been difficult to study since it lives in the open sea and is active at night. Now, a research team has succeeded in locating an Italian worm colony and is able to confirm that the worm has completely unique vision. Bristle worms are a group of annelid worms that mostly live in the sea

What jobs will we do in the future? And who will work? Research shows that half of today’s jobs will not be necessary in 20 years’ time. Questions about unemployment and the future job market have been discussed at several different university events in recent months, most recently at Debatt i Lund. In early June, politicians, entrepreneurs and researchers gathered for the Innovation for Jobs conf

A research group at Lund University has succeeded in creating a hydrogen-producing system using an iron complex as a light-absorbing dye. The new discovery could be an important piece of the puzzle for large-scale, environmentally friendly hydrogen production in the future. Hydrogen is a highly efficient energy carrier that can be used to transport, store and provide energy. The gas, which consist
