The boundaries between biology and technology are becoming blurred. Researchers at Linköping, Lund, and Gothenburg universities in Sweden have successfully grown electrodes in living tissue using the body’s molecules as triggers. The result, published in the journal Science, paves the way for the formation of fully integrated electronic circuits in living organisms. Linking electronics to biologic

Some time ago, I was asked, “What does Lund University want in terms of AI and research?” At first, I was a little surprised and thought, is the University to have an explicit position on this? But then I started thinking about the University’s other clearly-stated ambitions. We want to be a “world-class university,” we want to “understand, explain and improve our world and the human condition.” S

In mid-January, protesters and police clashed in the village of Lützerath in Germany after the village was occupied for a long time in an attempt to prevent the extension of a large open-pit coal mine that will swallow the village. The occupation is just one example of the increasingly widespread struggle to defend the environment and prevent greenhouse gas emissions, according to LUCSUS researche

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. How we deal with people who return from terrorist groups – not just those who have travelled to ISIS but also those who have joined right-wing groups in, for instance, Ukraine – is crucial to our own safety, says Dan-Erik Andersson, one of the people behind a new national contract education course on violent extremism

Mammography screening supported by artificial intelligence (AI) is a safe alternative to today’s conventional double reading by radiologists and can reduce heavy workloads for doctors. This has now been shown in an interim analysis of a prospective, randomised controlled trial, which addressed the clinical safety of using AI in mammography screening. The trial, led by researchers from Lund Univers

A new study, published in the scientific journal PLOS One, reveals that a culture of silence surrounds sexual harassment in universities. The study was based on the supporting documents collected for the 2019-2020 Tellus report. The study, which ran from 2019-2020, was conducted via surveys sent to all staff and students at Lund University; the response rate was around one third in both groups. Th

In a collaboration with the Swedish local brewery, Brygghuset Finn, LUCSUS researchers are working toward finding ways of improving sustainability of the craft beer industry. The project is part of an international research project, which focuses on identifying and testing local solutions to challenges within the food-water-energy nexus. We have been collaborating with a local brewer in Landskrona

When research findings are ready to make the leap from the lab to the patient, the requirements become much stricter. That is precisely where many promising projects start to falter. “We want to be the bridge between research and the patient, so that promising projects don’t get stuck in that difficult transition,” says Sara Nolbrant, director of the new pre-GMP facility. And with that, she disapp

One result of climate change is that spring is arriving earlier. However, migratory birds are not keeping up with these developments and arrive too late for the peak in food availability when it is time for breeding. By getting the birds to fly a little further north, researchers in Lund, Sweden, and the Netherlands have observed that these birds can give their chicks a better start in life. Globa

They cross oceans, glide on monsoon winds, and can appear in new places after thousands of kilometres in the air. Now a new study from Lund University shows that dragonflies are among nature’s most extreme migrants - and that their journeys may help us understand climate change. Dragonflies and damselflies are predatory insects with powerful jaws, compound eyes and spectacular colours. What is les

The UN’s annual climate change conference takes place this year in Sharm el-Sheikh in Egypt. Over the course of two weeks, representatives of the world’s nations will gather to discuss how to achieve the goals of the 2015 Paris Agreement and contribute to the climate transition. At this year’s COP, the focus will be on topics such as climate finance, loss and damage, adaptation to climate change a
