This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The more reputable the scientific journal, the more expensive it will be to publish an article with Open Access. Research publishers are riding the gravy train, but for the individual researcher the cost often comes as an unpleasant surprise, after they have spent all of their funding.

Recently, a new instrument on the four-metre VISTA telescope at the European Southern Observatory in Chile captured its first starlight. This marks the start of a new era in astronomy, where researchers will map the sky in unprecedented detail. The instrument, called 4MOST (Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope), does not take ordinary images of the night sky. Instead, it collects spectra or colour

Jakten på att kunna kontrollera kvantfysikens märkvärdiga fenomen pågår världen över. Årets Nobelpris i fysik bidrar till att göra ämnet ännu hetare. Även vid Lunds universitet deltar man i att utforska kvanttillståndens okända och ibland hjärnskrynklande perspektiv. Fysikdocent Mathieu Gisselbrecht visar vägen ner i Laserlabbets källarkorridor på Fysicum. I ett par olika rum breder avancerad utru

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Varför flyttar fåglar långa sträckor kors och tvärs över jorden? Med denna och andra närbesläktade frågor arbetar professor Susanne Åkesson och hennes kollegor vid Lunds universitets biologiska institution. Tillsammans håller de nu på att ta fram en ny e-bok som ska locka fler unga till forskningsområdet. I höstas b

Forskare vid Lunds universitet har utvecklat en teknik för att mäta elektriska signaler från 128 hjärnområden samtidigt hos vakna råttor. Den har de sedan använt för att mäta vad som händer med nervcellerna när råttorna får psykedeliska droger. Resultaten visar på en oväntad och samtidig synkronisering bland nervcellerna i flera områden i hjärnan. Idén om att elektriska svängningar, oscillationer,

Bakterien 'Staphylococcus aureus', den gula stafylokocken, är vanligt förekommande i vår omgivning, på huden och i näsan. Den kan orsaka lindriga infektioner, men också allvarlig infektion om bakterien kommer in i blodbanan; vilket drabbar ungefär 2000 personer årligen i Sverige. Bakterierna kan slå sig ner i kroppen, till exempel i leder eller på hjärtklaffar och kräver vanligen minst 10 dagar in

Många patienter med akut bröstsmärta blir inlagda på vårdavdelning – trots att bara en bråkdel av dem behöver akut, högspecialiserad hjärtsjukvård. Forskaren och akutläkaren Tsvetelina Nilsson har i sitt avhandlingsarbete undersökt hur dessa patienter – på ett säkert sätt – snabbare kan bedömas. I snitt kan nästan hälften av de som söker för akut bröstsmärta tryggt skickas hem – redan efter någon

On the first day of the COP28 climate change conference in Dubai, a formal decision was taken to establish a loss and damage fund to support developing countries to deal with loss and damage from climate change. A pragmatic success for climate justice, says sustainability professor Emily Boyd, who now hopes that Sweden will follow suit with promises of financial support. Emily Boyd, director and p

Lund University’s researchers are good at applying for and obtaining external research grants. But many funding bodies require faculties and departments to co-fund research projects, something that is becoming a major financial challenge for the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) and others. “Of course there is a limit to what we can do,” says Magnus Genrup, head of the Department of Energy Sciences.
