A commercially available blood test has now been trialled in routine healthcare. “The blood test showed about 90% reliability even in primary care. This may have major implications for all those individuals who seek help for memory loss and suspected Alzheimer’s,” say the researchers at Lund University in Sweden behind the study. Alzheimer’s disease affects one in five women and one in ten men ove
Bumblebees have a great capacity to navigate despite their small brain size. This is borne out of new research conducted at Lund University in Sweden, among others. The research results can potentially benefit the development of navigation robots in crisis situations where GPS does not work, for example. According to the study, bumblebees appear capable of navigating as well as vertebrates can, an

The income and education levels of a child’s environment determine their relationship to nature, not whether they live in a city or the countryside. This is the finding of a new study conducted by researchers at Lund University, Sweden. The results run counter to the assumption that growing up in the countryside automatically increases our connection to nature, and yet the study also shows that na

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

It takes a long time, up to several decades, before the benefits of organic farming take full effect on land that was previously cultivated conventionally, a new study from Lund University suggests. After thirty years, the plant species richness around the cultivated crop had doubled on organic farms compared to conventional farms. It is well known that organic farming benefits biodiversity and ca

A research team led by Lund University in Sweden has discovered a small planet that displays peculiar orbital motion. The shimmying planet, located 455 light-years from Earth, shows that planetary systems can be considerably more complex than researchers have previously thought. The newly discovered planet TOI-1408c has a mass equivalent to eight Earths and circles very close to a larger planet, t
