Nuclear power is an advanced low carbon technology that can help to reduce the risk of dangerous climate change. Yet, many countries, including those with rapidly rising greenhouse gas emissions and enormous electricity needs, have not managed to construct a single nuclear power plant. Why do some countries use nuclear power and others don't? A new paper co-authored by Aleh Cherp answers this ques

The Swedish government has tasked Stockholm University and the University of Gothenburg with developing a citizenship test — an assignment that has met resistance from both institutions. They argue that such a test is not based on scientific principles but is instead a political product. The government’s directive has brought the issue of academic freedom into focus, at a time when reports from th

A research study at Lund University shows that there is an association between selenium deficiency and an increased risk of developing heart failure. The risk is twice as high for individuals with low selenium levels. Heart failure is a common condition affecting 250 000 Swedes. In heart failure, the heart cannot pump enough blood into the body, and the disease is associated with a poor prognosis.

The current recession is affecting everyone, and the University and central administration are no exceptions. We, like many other organisations, are affected by cutbacks and a tough economic climate. The entire university sector is being asked to make savings of 0.5%. This is coming as inflation is high and many things have become more expensive: rents, equipment, licences, etc. Like other LU orga

Some fungi are wasteful, while others recycle – and this can determine how much carbon is stored in a forest. Researchers at Lund University have now revealed how fungi manage their mycelium, the network that builds the structure of fungus. The results could provide new insights into the carbon cycle and climate. Researchers have investigated how fungi recycle their mycelium when they grow. Using
