Synchrotron radiation helps vision researcher Emily Baird create three-dimensional images of how insects see the world. In the future, this could lead to sighted drones that navigate through the air like insects, without being remote controlled from the ground. “I enjoy research more than anything, and the most fun part is that I am forced to be creative and make constant progress, says Emily Bair

Nervskador drabbar ungefär varannan diabetiker. Ju längre tid man haft sjukdomen desto större är risken. Neuropati börjar ofta i tårna, framfoten och sprider sig uppåt. Symtomen är många. Några av dem är nedsatt känsel parallellt med överkänslighet vid beröring, kuddkänsla när man går, förtvining av fotens muskler som leder till nedsjunket fotvalv. Och för många är det värsta gisslet – stickande,

Världen står inför flera kriser när det gäller vattenkvalitet, kvantitet och säkerhet. Politiska åtgärder hittills är inriktade på en strategi med "business as usual" som prioriterar ekonomisk och/eller grön tillväxt. Men åtgärder som prioriterar tillväxt misslyckas till stor del. En grupp av några av världens mest framstående vattenforskare lyfter fram den avgörande roll som "policy capture" (e.g

Offshore wind power is presented as one of the solutions to solve the energy crisis in southern Sweden. But the issue has been met with a "not in my backyard” attitude, as many municipalities say no to the government's decision. LUCSUS researcher Henner Busch, shares his thoughts on how to involve local communities and create a more just energy transition. Earlier this autumn, the Swedish governme

Julmusik är mer än bakgrundsljud till stök och mys. Från Mariah Careys smällkaramell ”All I Want for Christmas” till Whams förlorade kärlek i “Last Christmas” – varje låt bär på sin egen berättelse om varför just den hör julen till. – Julmusikens kraft ligger i dess förmåga att sätta oss i kontakt med våra känslor, från fest till eftertanke.

Många forskare sysslar med hållbarhet, men hur hållbart är Lunds universitet? Inte tillräckligt, menar lärare och studenter som skrivit under det s.k. Fossil Free-uppropet. – Ett universitet som Lunds borde inte konkurrera om jumboplatsen i en fråga som det råder så stor enighet kring, menar professor Lennart Olsson. Rektor Torbjörn von Schantz förnekar att LU skulle vara nära någon jumboplats. –

Sverige satsar lite på biometanol som biobränsle, trots att flera studier visat att metanol från skogsråvara och annan biomassa ger högst energiutbyte och på sätt kan klassas som miljövänligast. Nu tyder nya forskningsresultat från motorlabbet vid Lunds Tekniska Högskola på att något justerade förbränningsmotorer kan köras på rå-metanol, det vill säga den metanol som kommer direkt från förgasnings
