Cake and a packed Rydberg Hall set the tone when Fysicum celebrated its 75th anniversary. The Department of Physics invited guests to a party, and the audience was treated to a dizzying journey through history, presented by Professor Erik Swietlicki. When Lund University was founded in 1666, there was no faculty of natural sciences. Instead, physics was part of the faculty of philosophy, and for a

For over 20 years, a research team at Lund University in Sweden has studied the common bluetail damselfly. Females occur in three different colour forms – one with a male-like appearance, something that protects them from mating harassment. In a new study, an international research team found that this genetic colour variation that is shared between several species arose through changes in a speci

A carnivorous fruit fly living in bubbling African streams may sound like a fever dream. However, with the help of DNA analysis of a pinned insect from a museum in Zurich, researchers have managed to draw an evolutionary map of a mysterious species that has not been seen since 1981. Researchers at Lund University have successfully mapped the genome of one of the world’s most unusual fruit flies -

Physical geographer Lina Eklund is tracking the destruction of Gaza week by week using satellite images. Her analyses could be significant if, once the fighting between Israel and Hamas is over, questions of possible war crimes are raised at the International Court of Justice in The Hague.

Last year, researchers in Lund, Sweden, launched a ground-breaking theory that Earth was formed by pebbles that were sucked together into a celestial body over millions of years. This explanatory model has now been further supported by a new study which shows that cosmic dust also played a crucial role in the creation of our planet. It has become known as the pebble accretion theory. The radical i

Forskare vid Lunds universitet och DTU i Köpenhamn har upptäckt enzymer i tjocktarmen som, när de blandas med röda blodkroppar, kan klippa bort delar av de kolhydrater som skiljer våra ABO-blodgrupper från varandra. Metoden tar oss närmare drömmen om ett universalblod för alla. Sedan länge är det känt att blod från olika individer inte kan blandas hur som helst utan risk för allvarliga konsekvense
