For the first time, researchers have been able to measure the quantum state of electrons ejected from atoms that have absorbed high-energy light pulses. This is thanks to a new measurement technique developed by researchers at Lund University in Sweden. The results can provide a better understanding of the interaction between light and matter. When high-energy light with a very short frequency in

The world is changing; we have experienced societal disruption due to global hazards such as pandemics and climate change. Environments or institutions that were taken for granted are suddenly at risk, forcing us to consider new risks that require careful development of concepts and theories, as well as novel approaches to assessment.  This is the theme of the upcoming international conference SRA

Researchers conducting fieldwork in repressive and illiberal countries face profound ethical, personal and professional challenges — particularly when they are native to the societies they study. These issues were at the centre of a well attended CMES seminar by professor Merouan Mekouar, York University, Canada, that brought together scholars to reflect on risk, responsibility and inequality in a

What surprises a course participant from Africa on a short visit in Lund and to LUSEM? And what made the strongest impressions? Takes to bring back? And what about the group dynamic with new acquaintances from many different parts of the same continent? We are really curious about what happened during the fourth round of the course Innovation, Transformation and Resilience for Sustainable Developm

Recently, a new instrument on the four-metre VISTA telescope at the European Southern Observatory in Chile captured its first starlight. This marks the start of a new era in astronomy, where researchers will map the sky in unprecedented detail. The instrument, called 4MOST (Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope), does not take ordinary images of the night sky. Instead, it collects spectra or colour

A new research project led by LUCSUS will examine immobility as an adaptation strategy. Through a novel research approach, and field work in different areas affected by sea level rise and erosion, it will shed light on the communities who are unable – or unwilling – to move despite negative effects on their environment. Average sea levels have swelled about 23 cm since 1880, with about 7 cm in the

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The bad news about malignant melanoma is that the disease is increasing more rapidly than most other types of cancer. The good news is that it is easy to cure, as long as it is detected in time. A research group in Lund has therefore started a project that it is hoped will make it easier to correctly diagnose suspicio

When renovating premises at Campus Paradis, reuse takes center stage. By refurbishing and repurposing existing furniture, new spaces are emerging that combine sustainability, functionality, and historical character. Furniture reuse has become a natural part of Lund University’s sustainability work. During the renovation of Gamla Lungkliniken and the new IKO premises in Gamla Polikliniken, interior

Insects have difficulties handling the higher temperatures brought on by climate change, and might risk overheating. The ability to reproduce is also strongly affected by rising temperatures, even in northern areas of the world, according to a new study from Lund University in Sweden.
