For the first time, researchers have been able to prove that city lights limit the ability of nocturnal animals to navigate by natural light in the night sky. Instead, they are forced to use streetlamps, neon light or floodlights to orient themselves. The findings are published in Current Biology. Some animals, including migratory birds, seals and moths, use light from the moon, stars and Milky Wa

For the first time, a research team has succeeded in collecting diverse signatures of electronic properties of perovskite semiconductors in one comprehensive picture. By using a new spectroscopy technique, researchers have managed to produce horse-like two-dimensional diagrams that may contribute to more efficient solar cells in the future. Perovskites are new materials ideally suited to produce s

Martin Bech, senior lecturer in medical radiation physics, has been awarded a prestigious ERC Consolidator Grant. Over a five-year period, he will conduct several exciting projects within X-ray microscopy which, among other things, can be used to generate 3D images of human tissue. Over the past decade, the use of X-ray microscopy has increased in the world of research. In contrast to standard lig

New research in five EU countries reveals stakeholders’ views on what is needed to enable a shift towards 1.5° C-compatible lifestyles. Bans and taxes for unsustainable behaviour and outcomes, positive incentives for low-carbon attitudes, and better public funding for basic services, are seen as essential climate policies to overcome current barriers to action at the household level - according to

Ana Maria Vargas Falla was Lund University's only representative at COP29 in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan. She has researched public resistance and acceptance of climate legislation and contributed to the "10 new insights in climate science" presented during the climate summit. These are her impressions of the United Nations Climate Change Conference. I was initially very sceptical about having

The Syrian "refugee crisis" in Europe and the war in Ukraine have highlighted the limitations of traditional asylum systems. It has also highlighted the potential of alternative approaches, such as temporary protection instruments. A new research project, focusing on Ukrainians and Syrians, is being launched to explore the potential of different legal and safe pathways. The project, called "Refuge
