This autumn, LU Estates and Akademiska Hus will measure how much certain premises rented by the University are actually used. The measurements will be conducted by sensors placed at the entrances and exits to some offices and in lecture halls. The aim is to improve efficiency and reduce the need for premises. Digitalisation and the increase in working from home have led to offices being used less

Allt fler vill hjälpa bin och andra pollinerare och väljer därför att odla blommor rika på nektar och pollen. Men vilka blommor gör allra störst nytta? Enligt pollineringsforskare beror det på syftet. Vill man gynna hotade biarter och den biologiska mångfalden bör man välja en mångfald av växter av inhemskt ursprung. Är man lantbrukare med stora arealer insektspollinerade jordbruksgrödor kan det v

Superconductors are a cornerstone of quantum computers and particle detectors, among other things. However, a common problem is that their efficiency is degraded by various interferences. Now, researchers have come one step closer to explaining what is happening through high-precision measurements. The results are now being published in Nature Physics. Superconductivity depends on the presence of

The results of an observational study from Lund University in Sweden are clear: up to the age of two, a more fibre-rich diet seems to reduce the risk of coeliac disease. A particularly clear link was seen when children had eaten fibre-rich foods before the age of one. “This is the first time the risk of coeliac disease has been studied based on fibre in children’s diets. But a clinical trial is al
