UN Climate Report: How vulnerable are we and how can we adapt?

How vulnerable is humanity in the face of climate change? And how have people around the world already been impacted? These are some of the questions to be answered on 28 February by the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Two researchers from Lund University participated in the final report – Martina Angela Caretta and Emily Boyd. For three years, approximately three hundred top resea

ERC Advanced Grant for research on ferroelectric transistors

Lars-Erik Wernersson, professor of nanoelectronics, has received an ERC Advanced Grant for the integration of new materials into the high-performance, energy-efficient transistors and circuit solutions of the future. Silicon is the current material of choice for most transistors and other components. The problem is that in certain cases these parts consume a lot of energy and get hot, which can le

New type of blood test gives more reliable diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease

A simple blood test with 90% accuracy that shows whether a patient has Alzheimer’s disease has floored the research community, which is calling it a gamechanger. Oskar Hansson, professor of neurology at Lund University and Skåne University Hospital, is leading the research team that has rapidly taken a major step towards better diagnostics. “The blood test will make it easier for general practitio

World on fire – how do we adapt to a hotter planet?

Researchers around the globe agree: the Earth is getting warmer and warmer, extreme weather such as heatwaves and long droughts increase the risk of wildfires. The group Wildfires in the Anthropocene at the Pufendorf Institute connects researchers from across Lund University who study fires from different perspectives: climate change, health, environmental security, fire safety and biodiversity. E

How cells are able to turn

Researchers have long wondered how our cells navigate inside the body. Two new studies, in which Lund University researcher Pontus Nordenfelt has participated, have now demonstrated that the cells use molecular force from within to steer themselves in a certain direction. This knowledge may be of great significance in the development of new drugs. Pontus Nordenfelt, researcher in infection medicin

Prostate cancer questions could be answered through Big Data project

Data from more than 400 000 patients in different countries will be used to increase knowledge and improve treatment of prostate cancer. This is all taking place within the international big data for better outcome (BD4BO) project PIONEER, in which Lund University has a prominent role. Despite intensive research, there are many unanswered questions concerning prostate cancer – one of the most comm

US, Europe subsidize rapidly expanding petrochemical industry

With the market for fossil fuels in decline, the oil industry is investing heavily in the chemical and plastics industry instead. The strategy seems to be working: the plastics industry is growing faster than the global economy. Multibillion-dollar subsidies from states and publicly funded banks, combined with weak legislation, are reasons behind the rapid growth, according to a new report from Lu

Digital tools building bridges between local communities and forced migrants

Throughout history and across the globe, individuals have been forced to flee conflicts, natural disasters and political oppression. An experience of trauma and new horizons that is at once both collective and individual. Researchers at Lund University have developed digital tools that facilitate deeper contact between local communities and forced migrants. The tools can be used by museums and cul
