A research team has created artificial animals that over time develop functioning vision from scratch – from simple light sensitivity to the ability to discern objects. This happened despite the fact that the digital creatures weren’t given any instructions. The results show how AI can be used to understand the inner secrets of evolution. Imagine that you are sitting in front of a computer. In the

How can we stop global warming? Simple: we need to stop burning fossil fuels. Unfortunately, it is difficult to replace fossil fuels in all parts of society. In this project, we develop laser techniques that can help us understand the how energy is produced when different things burn, which will help developing new, clean biofuels. There are some areas in society where burning things is the best/e

A new paper by Aleh Cherp and several co-authors published in Environmental Research Letters asks what is the fastest realistic rate of global coal phase-out and what it means for the climate.  The paper signals both good and bad news. The good news are that more and more countries promise to phase out coal, including poorer economies that rely more on coal, have younger power plants and weaker de

Researchers have identified the top 12 ways European cities have been able to curb car use. The most effective measure was applying a congestion charge, with the notable case of London, where city traffic dropped by 33% following the change. Most success stories involved both “carrots” to encourage sustainable mobility and “sticks” to restrict cars, according to the study. – Transport is a major s

Almost one fourth of Sweden’s last unprotected old-growth forest was logged between 2003 and 2019. At this rate, all of these ecologically unique and valuable forests will be lost in about 50 years. These findings add to the growing body of evidence for widespread cryptic forest degradation across the global north. A small fraction of Sweden’s forests consists of older forests which have never pre
