This CMES Regional Outlook (2025:3) by Karin Aggestam examines the ceasefire agreement reached between Israel and Hamas. The recent ceasefire, described as the first phase of US President Donald Trump’s “peace plan” announced on 29 September 2025, represents an important yet fragile step towards ending the ongoing war in Gaza. While the agreement has facilitated the release of Israeli hostages and

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Can tumors teach us about animal evolution on Earth? Researchers believe so and now present a novel hypothesis of why animal diversity increased dramatically on Earth about half a billion years ago. A biological innovation may have been key. A transdisciplinary and international team, from Lund University in Sweden an

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Are financial instruments really the solution to deforestation and degradation? Do states truly manage forests for societal benefit? And to what extent are so-called sustainable forest governance initiatives really including local people in decision-making? These are some of the questionable myths that currently obscu

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Crashing computers or smartphones - and security loopholes that allow hackers to steal millions of passwords - could be prevented if it were possible to design error-free software. To date, this is a problem that neither engineers nor current supercomputers have been able to solve. A major reason for this is the compu

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden are investigating a car fuel comprised of a liquid that is converted to hydrogen by a solid catalyst. The used liquid is then emptied from the tank and charged with hydrogen, after which it can be used again in a circular system that is free from greenhouse gas emissions. In two research articles, Lund researchers have demonstrated that the method works, an

A project at Lund University in Sweden has trained an AI model to identify breast cancer patients who could be spared from axillary surgery. The model analyses previously unutilised information in mammograms and pinpoints with high accuracy the individual risk of metastasis in the armpit. A newly completed study shows that the model indicates that just over 40 per cent of today’s axillary surgery

Academic misconduct has increased with about 200% during the past covid years. As a precaution Lund University has started a project to prevent deception and misleading in examination, whether it’s unauthorized cooperation, plagiarism, or non-allowed aids. In every study environment there is a unique culture, with boundaries to what is considered acceptable and unacceptable by the students themsel

The future of working life in Europe is analysed in a new anthology which, with the help of multiple researchers, looks primarily at three major changes taking place in working life right now. These changes are due to three inevitable phenomena: the pandemic, climate change and digitalisation. Four sociologists from Lund University contribute with chapters in the book. Never in modern times has wo

LUCSUS researcher, David O’Byrne, who has done extensive research on coastal restoration in Louisiana, USA, comments in the wake of storm Ida. It was one of the strongest to hit the state in terms of wind-speed, and struck on the same day, 16 years later, as Hurricane Katrina, which killed more than 1800 people.  So far, storm Ida has claimed over 40 lives in different parts of the USA, and left m

Why do some people oppose interventions meant to protect them from climate hazards, and what forms of resistance are available to those most vulnerable and exposed? These questions are explored in a new literature study from LUCSUS that maps where people resist climate adaptation; how, and in what contexts. It shows that resistance to adaptation occurs overtly and covertly, in both low-income and

Site-selected crystal material synthesis at the atomic scale has been a long-standing challenge. NanoLundians Rainer Timm and Yi Liu use nanowire crystal phase heterostructures as templates for self-selective growth of one- and two-dimensional GaBi nanostructures, which allows a versatile design with atomic-scale precision.

Investigation of a metre-long front flipper, uniquely preserved with fossilized soft tissues, has revealed that the giant ichthyosaur Temnodontosaurus was equipped with flow control devices that likely served to suppress self-generated noise when foraging in dimly lit pelagic environments about 183 million years ago. Thus, this visually guided megapredator relied on underwater stealth—or ‘silent s
