A gas turbine is a combustion engine that can convert fuel to mechanical power. This mechanical power can be used for producing electric power and generating thrust in a jet aircraft. We are all well familiar with climate change, global warming and the urgent need to reduce greenhouse gases. The use of hydrogen in the process industry, e.g., for steel production, in the power industry for electric

Opinionsundersökningar känns självklara idag – men deras historia är kort och fylld av debatt. En ny avhandling vid Lunds universitet visar hur Gallupundersökningen blev ett verktyg som förändrade synen på folkviljan och formade både politik och reklam i efterkrigstidens Sverige. Valåret 2026 är i gång och med det ett antal opinionsmätningar fram till valdagen 13 september. Idag är det självklart

Laura Elo at University of Turku is awarded the Leif C. Groop Award for outstanding research on type 1 diabetes. The mathematician from Finland has developed methods which have helped increase the understanding of how type 1 diabetes develops at molecular level. She hopes her research will help prevent and delay the progression of the disease and individualise the treatment of type 1 diabetes. Jus

Insulin secretion into the bloodstream requires a protein called CD59. New research led by Lund University shows that the two protein variants that are responsible for this function of CD59 are affected in diabetes. The study has been recently published in PNAS. Insulin affects many bodily functions, and is required for survival. It causes cells to take up glucose from the blood, storage of energy

All particles that reach the atmosphere cause different chemical reactions. Particles come partly from natural sources such as volcanic eruptions and forest fires, and partly from pollution and emissions. Aerosol researcher Johan Friberg studies particles at high altitudes. He fears that the global increase in forest fires could have a significant impact on the ozone layer. “I study the air in the

A blood biomarker yet to be used in cardiac arrest care can give a clearer picture of the extent of brain damage after a cardiac arrest. This has been shown in a large international multicentre study led by researchers at Lund University that has been published in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine. Worldwide, around four million people each year suffer a sudden cardiac arrest. “This will transform c
