Superconductors are a cornerstone of quantum computers and particle detectors, among other things. However, a common problem is that their efficiency is degraded by various interferences. Now, researchers have come one step closer to explaining what is happening through high-precision measurements. The results are now being published in Nature Physics. Superconductivity depends on the presence of

Den australiensiska bogong-fjärilen använder Vintergatans stjärnor som kompass under sina årliga 100-milsresor till svala grottor i inlandet. Det visar en banbrytande studie som också avslöjar att jordens magnetfält spelar en viktig roll för den gåtfulla fjärilens navigation. Bogong-fjärilen Agrotis infusa är anspråkslöst gråbrun, lever i Australien och har en hjärna med storleken av en tiondels r

Forskare vid Lunds universitet visar i en studie att kraftig övervikt, obesitas, ökar risken för fler cancerformer än vad man tidigare känt till. Resultaten visar på samband mellan obesitas och risken att utveckla 31 olika cancerformer eller subgrupper till cancerdiagnoser. Kraftig övervikt, även kallat fetma eller obesitas, är en kronisk sjukdom som ofta kräver långsiktig behandling och som även
