LUCSUS researcher, David O’Byrne, who has done extensive research on coastal restoration in Louisiana, USA, comments in the wake of storm Ida. It was one of the strongest to hit the state in terms of wind-speed, and struck on the same day, 16 years later, as Hurricane Katrina, which killed more than 1800 people.  So far, storm Ida has claimed over 40 lives in different parts of the USA, and left m

Researchers in Lund have discovered an antitoxin mechanism that seems to be able to neutralise hundreds of different toxins and may protect bacteria against virus attacks. The mechanism has been named Panacea, after the Greek goddess of medicine whose name has become synonymous with universal cure. The understanding of bacterial toxin and antitoxin mechanisms will be crucial for the future success

With the help of mirrors, placed only a few hundred nanometers apart, a research team has managed to use light more efficiently. The finding could eventually be useful for controlling solar energy conversion during photosynthesis, or other reactions driven by light. For example, one application could be converting carbon dioxide into fuel. The sunlight that hits Earth for one hour is almost equiva

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. A new study from Lund University in Sweden shows that plant-eating insects affect forest ecosystems considerably more than previously thought. Among other things, the insects are a factor in the leaching of nutrients from soil and increased emissions of carbon dioxide. The researchers also establish that the temperatu

At the end of October, Lund University’s quality assurance of study programmes was approved by the Swedish Higher Education Authority (UKÄ). I think that Lund University should be happy and proud about this, but it is important to keep moving forward to continue developing our quality assurance systems. The next major area we need to work on is quality assurance of research. In November, the vice-
