By injecting a solution of nanoparticles around the heart, a temporary heart stimulator self-assembles, which can correct heart arrhythmia in emergency situations with the help of an external power source. After treatment, the electrode spontaneously disappears from the body. The study was conducted on animals. Arrhythmia occurs when there are disturbances in the heart’s electrical signals, causin

Make yourself comfortable at home on the sofa and immerse yourself in a symphony orchestra’s magical take on Beethoven´s Fifth Symphony as if you were there inside the concert hall. Change camera angles, zoom, cuts, sound quality and access background information about the piece being played. Or chat with fellow members of the digital audience. “The rapid digitalisation of the performing arts has

“It’s 2050. Selma is dead. But before she is buried, she wants to talk to a person from 2021 and show them how, in Malmö, everything is possible. That person is you.” That is the dramatic beginning of a climate soundwalk that gives the listener the opportunity to imagine how Malmö, Sweden, might be affected by climate change over the coming 30 years. The project is a collaboration between research

Our brains are "programmed" to learn more from people we like – and less from those we dislike. This has been shown by researchers in cognitive neuroscience in a series of experiments. Memory serves a vital function, enabling us to learn from new experiences and update existing knowledge. We learn both from individual experiences and from connecting them to draw new conclusions about the world. Th

Virtual reality might be the closest we can get to a time machine. For instance, it can be used to experience historical communities – such as the Iron Age city of Uppåkra in southern Sweden, according to LU researcher Mattias Wallergård. Mattias Wallergård has done research on virtual reality and its applications for the past 20 years. He works at the Virtual Reality Lab at Lund University, and b

The year is 2072, and the worst storm in two hundred years is about to hit Scania, in the south of Sweden. In Skanör-Falsterbo, a family is celebrating Christmas when the storm alarm sounds. The waves draw closer to the house, and the family dash towards the nearby church. What happens next is the result of many decades of decisions: did we work together, or did the lines of conflict become even d

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. All insects use vision to control their position in the air when they fly, but they also integrate information from other senses. Biologists at Lund University have now shown how hawkmoths use mechanosensors in their antennae to control fast flight manoeuvres. When the moths need to rapidly change direction and manoeu

A year has passed since Anne L'Huillier became Lund University's first Nobel laureate. Since then, she has tried to use the attention to revive interest in research. But she has also had to come to terms with the oddity of becoming a science rock star asked for selfies all over town. I thought we would go back in time to the 3rd of October 2023. What do you remember most about that very special da
