A study at Lund University reveals that traumatic brain injury alters the small vessels in the brain, resulting in an accumulation of amyloid beta — a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease. The findings suggest that vascular dysfunction could be an early driver in neurodegenerative disorders rather than being caused by neuronal damage. The study is published in Acta Neuropathologica. An increased risk o

When we cough and speak we launch droplets and if the person launching these droplets is sick from some kind of virus disease, such as COVID19, the droplets can contain viruses. These viruses have been found to be one of the main contributors to the spreading of the pandemic disease. If we can further understand where these droplets end up we can make more effective protective measures during a pa

CMES Visiting Fulbright Professor Dalia Dassa Kaye has been interviewed about the war in Gaza and the need for new leadership as the only way forward. The war in Gaza will end when Israel realises that its two goals are mutually exclusive - it will not be able to both destroy Hamas and free the hostages. This is what the new visiting Fulbright professor at the Centre for Advanced Middle Eastern St

Centre for European studies has awarded Katarina Bungerfeldt an honorary mention for her Master’s thesis “Money Talks: The potential of an EU financial conditionality mechanism linked to the rule of law”. The thesis is about rule of law conditionality in the EU. Is it possible to persuade political actors (such as the governments of certain EU member states) to respect fundamental principles of ru

A new study led by Lund University in Sweden shows that cities negatively affect the diversity of birds. There are significantly fewer bird species in urban forests compared with forests in the countryside – even if the forest areas are of the same quality. The researchers examined 459 natural woodlands located in or near 32 cities in southern Sweden. They counted the occurrence of different bird

In a recent article, Harald Havir et al. present a method for rapid and efficient detection of electrical charge in quantum systems using a nonlinear resonator that amplifies the signal without matching the sensor’s dissipation conditions. Thereby, they overcome previous limitations and make it applicable to various oscillating systems. Fast and reliable detection is essential for probing quantum

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. We know that noise affects our ability to learn as well as generating irritation and stress. This, in turn, reduces efficiency and well-being in the workplace. Some research findings indicate that workplace efficiency could increase by as much as 50% with the right sound environment.     Memory researchers and cogniti

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Research in collaboration with vulnerable groups, and scientist and citizen involvement are some of the ways forward to address the environmental risks that experts believe will have the most impact in the next ten years.

Since the discovery of graphene twenty years ago, physicists have been looking for materials that consist of two-dimensional layers. This study is about a newly emerging family, the transition metal halides. “Transition metal halides are a new class of van der Waals materials that we have identified as an ideal platform for many-body engineering. We are very enthusiastic about this class of materi

Last Tuesday, our PhD Candidate Lisa Heldt “nailed” her freshly printed PhD thesis. This traditional “spikning” takes place three weeks and three days before the official defense and it involves the PhD Candidate nailing (att spika in Swedish) their physical thesis to a public board where it can be read and scrutinized by the public before the official defense ceremony. At the same time, the spikn

More than four out of ten doctoral students experience stress, anxiety and depression. This autumn, the doctoral students’ union will redouble efforts to improve wellbeing and prevent poor mental health. Measures include the establishment of a new role, which will focus on preventing and tackling ill health and will work closely with the doctoral student ombudsman and the occupational health servi

The Board of the Faculty of Science has decided, given current conditions, to reject stage two of Science Village, while the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) has approved it. The University Board and University Management continue to see the University’s establishment there as an important goal. “For Lund University, it is very important that Science Village develops into an attractive area for resear

För över hundra miljoner år sedan slog en himlakropp ned på månen och bildade den från jorden synliga jättekratern Tycho. Den vedertagna dateringen är 109 miljoner år. Men en ny avhandling från Lunds universitet visar att kratern troligtvis är betydligt äldre än så. Den 85 kilometer breda och 4,8 kilometer djupa Tychokratern har under flera hundra år fascinerat människan. Likt ett stekt ägg har de
