Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed a computational model which is effective in detecting and identifying genetic mutations in breast tumours. The study, the largest of its kind in the world, includes results from over 3 200 patients with breast cancer. The researchers used RNA sequencing, a sensitive, precise tool which has very gradually started to be applied clinically, alth

This autumn, a unique research satellite, Gaia, will be launched. The project aims to map a billion stars and involves hundreds of European astronomers. One of the originators of the initiative is Lund University’s Professor of Astronomy Lennart Lindegren. Lennart Lindegren tests a meridian circle, which was used in the 19th century to measure the position of the stars. Professor Lindegren seems c

A research team led by Lund University in Sweden has provided an important clue to the origin of the element Ytterbium in the Milky Way, by showing that the element largely originates from supernova explosions. The groundbreaking research also provides new opportunities for studying the evolution of our galaxy. The study is published in Astronomy & Astrophysics. Ytterbium is one of four elements i

Is it OK for a manager to email employees in the evenings and on weekends? More employers should have explicit rules about emailing outside working hours, according to Mikael Ottosson, who is researching the work environment within a project entitled “Going home already?

Early in the morning there was the sound of explosions and the sky lit up. Since 24 February 2022, Lund University has stood in solidarity with Ukraine’s universities. Are there lessons to be learned from the period when Kiev’s largest university had to rapidly adapt to war and a humanitarian crisis? This is an article from LTHIn (the Faculty of Engineering).

The internal combustion engine is a subject that has been described as nasty and outdated. In fact, it is not outdated at all – but an area of cutting-edge research that is an important part of a sustainable energy transition. Martin Tunér is a professor of Internal Combustion Engines at the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) and he explains that a functioning and egalitarian society needs transport, so

It will be a major challenge for the higher education institutions to satisfy the government’s request for new forms of lifelong learning. We must ascertain what the University can develop and which parts of lifelong learning we are going to focus on.

Unfair, ineffective, and inefficient. These are some of the moral objections to increasing fuel prices in Sweden. A new study from Lund University identifies how social movements are resisting green transition policies through moral reasoning and argues that their concerns must be both recognised and responded to, in order to achieve a low-carbon future. – If politicians want different climate pol
