You are at the shop to buy food for the weekend. The shop’s security guard is keeping a close eye on you and you start to get nervous. He approaches you and you feel that you are starting to break out in a sweat. What the heck does he really want? This is not happening for real. It is just a situation in a virtual world, tailor-made for violent criminals to train them to control their aggression.

Yulia Vakulenko grew up in a small Russian town north of the Arctic Circle, today she works at Lund University. When Russia invaded Ukraine on 24 February, her world was turned upside down.

In Sweden, class actions - such as the ongoing Aurora case, where 300 young people are suing the government for failing to implement climate policies - are rare. Too rare, according to the sociologist of law Michael Molavi. He argues that Sweden would benefit from more class actions and that the state should finance the legal costs. On 21 March, Nacka District Court announced that the youth group

Just over two weeks after the UN climate summit in Egypt, the leaders of the world’s countries are meeting again, this time to address another acute crisis facing humanity – the loss of biodiversity. The issue is less well-known than the climate crisis and no framework corresponding to the Paris agreement is in place – something that many people hope the December summit in Montreal will rectify.

Carin Alegre Castegren When entering the lower gallery (KHM1) of Malmö Art Academy to see the MFA exhibition entitled “Tremeluz” by Carin Maria Alegre Castegren, I was met by numerous paintings, which all seemed to be in a state of flux. They had a lightness to them, an openness as well as something allusive. When reading the exhibition text, it was clear that Castegren had been thinking of light

Electrotherapy using injectable nanoparticles delivered directly into the tumour could pave the way for new treatment options for glioblastoma, according to a new study from Lund University in Sweden. “By drop casting the nanoparticles into the tumour cavity after an operation, we could electrify the edges while the immune system is also activated”, says Roger Olsson, professor of Chemical Biology

Sweden's investments in climate-friendly green steel are a potential driving force for both European competitiveness and energy independence. However, without a sustainable, strategic industrial policy, there is a risk that the technology will instead be commercially exploited in China, according to a new thesis from Lund University in Sweden.

New twin research shows that innate IQ plays a major role in predicting your future socio-economic status. The study, which follows twins during the crucial early adult years, reinforces the view that heredity and genes shape our life opportunities – and the people we become. The saying “to be born with a silver spoon in one’s mouth” suggests that wealth and prosperity stem from the parents’ fortu

A method that will quickly and easily detect diabetic neuropathy, nerve damage caused by high blood sugar, is under development. The aim is to identify individuals in the risk zone so that it is possible to initiate early treatment to prevent, or even reverse, the development. Neuropathy can be difficult to diagnose.
