Archaeologist Greer Jarrett at Lund University in Sweden has been sailing in the footsteps of Vikings for three years. He can now show that the Vikings sailed farther away from Scandinavia, and took routes farther from land, than was previously believed to have been possible. In his latest study, he has found evidence of a decentralised network of ports, located on islands and peninsulas, which pr

For a long time, microRNAs were thought to have no important function. But Johan Jakobsson at Lund University is convinced that it is key DNA that can affect different brain diseases such as Parkinson's, Huntington's, Alzheimer's disease or psychiatric illnesses. Research to date has talked mostly about genes but Johan Jakobsson and his research team are putting the spotlight on microRNAs. MicroRN

NEW THESIS ON ULTRA-FAST PHYSICS: By firing a short laser pulse at an atom, an electron can be ejected from its previous context. What happens to it, where does it go? In his thesis, Hugo Laurell develops a method to study ejected electrons and their behaviour. His work may have implications for the development of new materials and for photochemistry. Hi Hugo, you will defend your thesis soon, wha
