In a new article, researchers at Lund University have studied a new ice-skating technique that is more energy efficient than the traditional stride technique. By skating in arcs, ice hockey players can move just as quickly but with less energy loss. The authors say this could lead to better performance on the ice, as

Seven years ago divers discovered the oldest known stationary fish traps in northern Europe off the coast of southern Sweden. Since then, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have uncovered an exceptionally well-preserved Stone Age site. They now believe the location was a lagoon environment where Mesolithic humans lived during parts of the year. Other spectacular finds include a 9,000 year-ol

Hjärt- och kärlsjukdom är fortfarande vanligaste dödsorsaken efter långvarig typ 1-diabetes men under de senaste decennierna har risken avsevärt minskat, enligt en stor finsk undersökning. Under ungefär samma period visar en stor internationell studie att en vanlig riskfaktor för hjärtsjukdom har blivit betydligt vanligare. Under de senaste 30 åren har antalet för högt blodtryck blivit dubbelt så

New blood tests for diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease are making early diagnosis increasingly feasible. However, the fact that the markers being measured change long before any symptoms develop represents a challenge. Research led by Lund University in Sweden shows that a previously unused blood marker, when combined with those markers already in use, can significantly reduce the risk of misleading d
