Det solljus som träffar jordklotet under en enda timme motsvarar i runda tal mänsklig­hetens totala energiförbrukning för ett helt år. Jakten på hur solstrålarnas energi kan fångas in har präglat kemi­professor Villy Sundströms långa forskarkarriär. Redan i början av 1980

Plaståtervinning och avfallshantering i all ära, men vad blir den egentliga miljövinsten om plastproduktionen fördubblas inom den närmaste 20-årsperioden? Den frågan ställer sig forskare som menar att mer fokus måste läggas på hur plasten produceras. En ny forskningsstudie visar att det inte finns något politiskt intresse för de initiala stegen plastens livscykel; det vill säga vilka råvaror använ

Within third-cycle education, as in the University as a whole, we are all different and as such we need to work according to the different subject conditions of the faculties. At the same time, we are more alike than we sometimes believe and there are advantages to having the same procedures and rules where possible, particularly when we see more interdisciplinary projects crossing departmental an
