This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. A team of researchers from Lund University has imaged the beam focus at the hard X-ray nanoprobe NanoMAX using a single nanowire as the detector. The result is an unprecedented ultrahigh-resolution 3D image of the 88 nanometer diameter focus revealing fine details of the beam. “A basic way of describing an X-ray exper

For risk groups, a common cold can be life-threatening. Researchers in Lund have contributed to the development of a new biological medicinal product to treat severe asthma that is worsened by colds. The hope is that the drug will be approved in Sweden next year. Young children, the elderly and patients suffering from chronic lung disease such as asthma and COPD run an increased risk of being affl

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Research from Lund University in Sweden can explain why type 2 diabetes is inherited to a greater extent from an individual’s mother. The heredity of a previously known risk gene, THADA, has proven to be dominant if it comes from the mother, whereas it has little or no effect on the child’s risk of disease if it origi

What can be done about the fact that more Ukrainian civilians die in traffic accidents than from Russian bombs? How is it that trains run on time – even though Ukraine is at war? And how do you rebuild a country that wants to move beyond the old Soviet structures, with a green transition in sight? These were some of the topics of discussion when a ministerial delegation from Ukraine visited LTH. I
