Bees are usually considered to be the most efficient pollinators for crops, but a new international study shows that other insects are just as important. A variety of different insects are needed for our food supply. Several BECC researchers have provided data to the study. "We already know that honeybees and wild bees are of great importance to our food production. This study shows that other pol

A research team has succeeded in uncovering the fundamental properties of plexcitons, which were previously shrouded in mystery. Now the researchers can show how the plexcitons function and suggest how they could be used in potential applications in the future. A plasmon is a quasiparticle that stems from quantisation of oscillations in a plasma or a metal particle. An exciton is a bound state of

At a time when new political actors are challenging contemporary democracies in the name of “the people”, there is little agreement on the meaning of populism among academics, political activists and citizens alike. Aiming to bring together voices that don’t often interact, either because they belong to different fields of work, or as a result of geographical distance, to contribute to a vigorous

Can the loss of biodiversity slow down if one exposes its economic value? In a study recently published in the scientific journal Nature Communications, the scientists show that among the many thousands of species of bees in the world, only a few species are of economic importance for agriculture. The most common pollinators of crops can be promoted by relatively simple measures in agricultural la

Simon Herzog has studied what factors determine the fate of iron from boreal rivers and is now defending his thesis "Fate of riverine iron over estuarine salinity gradients". Rivers have traditionally not been considered important sources of bioavailable iron (Fe) to the marine waters, since most iron is lost by salinity-induced aggregation and sedimentation during estuarine mixing. However, recen
