Theories were introduced as far back as the 1960s about the possible existence of superheavy elements. Their most long-lived nuclei could give rise to a so-called “island of stability” far beyond the element uranium. However, a new study, led by nuclear physicists at Lund University, shows that a 50-year-old nuclear physics manifesto must now be revised. The heaviest element found in nature is ura

Climate research in the Arctic is being hit hard as collaboration with Russian researchers is put on ice. “It’s impossible to get an overall picture of the Arctic without looking at Russia. If this becomes permanent, we will be thrown back 20 years,” says Margareta Johansson, who leads the unique research project INTERACT, which incorporates researchers from all eight Arctic countries.

Teaching is to be as highly valued as research when it comes to appointments and promotions. Despite this ambition, it has rarely worked that way in practice. A recently completed project provides a new framework which will help faculty managements, as well as individual teaching staff members, to evaluate and develop educational qualifications. In the ‘Pedagogisk Meritering’ project, which concer

A species of ordinary gut bacteria that we all carry flourishes when the intestinal flora is knocked out by a course of antibiotics. Since the bacteria is naturally resistant to many antibiotics, it causes problems, particularly in healthcare settings. A study led from Lund University in Sweden now shows how two molecular mechanisms can work together make the bacterium extra resistant. “Using this
