Swedish nature is teeming with wild edible plants. Some taste good, others don’t. A group of biologists from 11 different countries got to learn which plants are edible, and what they taste like, when the department’s SACT (Scientific Activities) group organised a herbal excursion to Abusa Valley outside Södra Sandby in Skåne. The goal was to learn more about the herbs of nature while letting the

Researchers at Lund University, together with colleagues at the NIST Synchrotron Facility in the USA, have mapped on an atomic level what happens in a virus particle when the temperature is raised. “When the temperature rises, the virus’s genetic material changes its form and density, becoming more fluid-like, which leads to its rapid injection into the cell,” says Alex Evilevitch who led the stud

Primitive stoves and diesel engines produce soot particles, besides being bad for your health, have a negative effect on the climate. By affecting the atmosphere’s ability to form cloud droplets and ice particles, soot can dislodge the radiation balance.

Pressmeddelande 201116:Nu finns nya och betydligt mer långsiktiga data än tidigare av kontinuerlig glukosmätning för personer med typ 1-diabetes. En studie från Göteborgs universitet visar att tekniken, som hela tiden bevakar blodsockernivån, ger gynnsamma effekter på flera års sikt. Tekniken, så kallad CGM (continuous glucose monitoring), ersätter de klassiska bärbara blodsockermätarna, som kräve
