This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. For a mathematician, the waves of the sea are related to differential equations, and particularly complex ones at that. Mathematical research can help to improve understanding of how waves form and move – which could be useful, for example, in the work to predict dangerous monster waves. The sunlight glistens on the r

To counter the effects of antibiotics, bacteria constantly evolve resistance mechanisms. In order to develop new antibiotics that could overcome the resistance, it´s essential to understand its workings. Using so-called cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) researchers at Lund and Hamburg universities have uncovered the molecular details of an important antibiotic resistance mechanism. This is t

By examining ancient walrus DNA, an international research team led by Lund University in Sweden have retraced the walrus ivory trade routes of the Viking Age. They found that Norse Vikings and Arctic Indigenous peoples were probably meeting and trading ivory in remote parts of High Arctic Greenland, several centuries before Christopher Columbus “discovered” North America. The study is now publish

A surprising behaviour of atoms is giving scientists new insights into one of the most fundamental phenomena in nature: the absorption of light. A new physical phenomenon for light pulses has been discovered. The study, published in the prestigious journal Physical Review Letters, was conducted by physicists at Lund University. In the world of atoms, the laws of nature as we know them do not apply

For decades, doctors have warned parents that too much TV can harm children’s development. After all, television is one of the main activities in kids’ daily lives, and school performance plays a crucial role in shaping their future opportunities in the job market. It’s no wonder that physicians and educators have long been concerned about how hours spent in front of the screen might affect learni

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
