Much of the world's infrastructure is made of concrete, which presents a challenge when it cracks and needs repair. Traditional repair methods involve cutting away a large amount of material. Now researchers at Lund University are investigating an innovative solution: using fungi to mend concrete. This groundbreaking research got off the ground with a Sustainable Idea Exploration grant and support

The glymphatic system, which helps clear waste products from the brain, was discovered about a decade ago. Nicholas Bèchet’s project shines light on how it works in Alzheimer’s disease. On June 17, he defends his PhD thesis supervised by Iben Lundgaard at MultiPark. Here, he tells about his discoveries and why we should not compromise on our sleep. Tell us about your research! The glymphatic syste

Artificial intelligence has gone from horror visions on film to a tool in everyone’s pocket. From spelling advice to shopping tips – and now to assigning work and measuring performance. What’s next? We met with organisational researcher Sverre Spoelstra to talk about algorithmic leadership and management. You may not have your boss in an app, yet. But the idea is not as futuristic as it may sound.

During the unusually dry year of 2018, Sweden was hit by numerous forest fires. A research team led from Lund University in Sweden has investigated how climate change affects recently burnt boreal forests and their ability to absorb carbon dioxide. The boreal forests form a single biome that spans the entire Northern Hemisphere. These forests play a key role in the global climate system by absorbi
