Through the DNA analysis of old air samples collected by the Swedish Armed Forces, researchers at Lund University in Sweden can show that spore dispersal of northern mosses has shifted over the past 35 years. It now starts several weeks earlier, revealing how quickly nature’s calendar can reset in line with a warmer climate. When the Swedish military began collecting air samples in the 1960s to re

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Nowadays, a photograph taken by a normal mobile phone camera is almost 2 MB in size. It is therefore possible to imagine the huge quantities of data produced by scanners that take thousands of three-dimensional images of a single body part or tissue sample. Freddy Ståhlberg shows how data from the forthcoming national

En uppföljningsstudie av unga svenska män som dömts till fängelse för vålds- eller sexbrott, målar en tydlig bild: de flesta återfaller i brott gång på gång – i snitt över 30 brott innan de hunnit fylla 30. Nu publiceras forskningsresultat som även visar att en historia av allvarlig psykisk sjukdom ökar risken för att återfalla i kriminalitet. – Det här är personer som behöver få både tidigare och

For two weeks in May, teaching staff and students from Zhytomyr University experienced surroundings other than the state of war that prevails in their home country. In Sweden, they had teaching sessions on reflective thinking and, not least, a break from the war.

Scientists have found an alternative way to produce atoms of the superheavy element livermorium. The new method opens up the possibility of creating another element that could be the heaviest in the world so far: number 120. The search for new elements comes from the dream of finding a variant that is sufficiently stable to be long-lived and not prone to immediate decay. There is a theory in nucle

A new international commission will pave the way for a global boost in maternal and newborn health. The project is led by a researcher at Lund University in Sweden, whose motivation stems from a formative experience witnessing a woman bleed to death unnecessarily during childbirth. “The time has come to put maternal and newborn health back at the heart of the global health agenda,” says Mehreen Za

Det saknas inte initiativ för att bryta det växande sociala utanförskapet i Sverige. Mer oklart är vad som fungerar. Forskningen hittills visar att “eldsjälar” är en nyckel till framgång. Men är det rimligt att lägga allt ansvar på dem? Sverige, liksom resten av världen, brottas med flera stora samhällsutmaningar. Ojämlikheten och inkomstklyftorna ökar och antalet resurssvaga bostadsområden har bl
