New study on the brain’s water channels offers hope to those with brain and spinal cord damage

Published 19 May 2020 An international research team has discovered a treatment that dramatically reduces swelling after brain and spinal cord damage. By using an already approved drug on rats, the brain’s water channels could be manipulated with positive results. The new study offers hope to the millions of people who are affected by brain and spinal cord damage. According to the World Health Org

Rising temperatures affect wetlands and disrupt the water balance

Published 19 May 2020 In a future warmer climate, evaporation from the northern hemisphere’s wetlands will increase significantly more than previously thought. This is shown by an international study involving researchers from Lund University and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences. The new discovery provides important knowledge about how the world water balance will be affected in the

Bird feeding helps females more than males

Published 7 July 2020 A new study from Lund University in Sweden shows that female birds benefit more from extra food in the winter. If females receive additional food, they do not need to reduce their body temperature as much as they would have otherwise, and the chances of surviving cold nights increase. Birds possess an extreme ability to regulate their own body temperature. On cold winter nigh

Breakthrough method for predicting solar storms

Published 11 August 2020 Image of corona from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory showing features created by magnetic fields. Image credit: NASA. Extensive power outages and satellite blackouts that affect air travel and the internet are some of the potential consequences of massive solar storms. These storms are believed to be caused by the release of enormous amounts of stored magnetic energy due

How stars form in the smallest galaxies

Published 12 August 2020 Martin Rey, astrophysicist at Lund University. Photo by Johan Joelsson. The question of how small, dwarf galaxies have sustained the formation of new stars over the course of the Universe has long confounded the world’s astronomers. An international research team led by Lund University in Sweden has found that dormant small galaxies can slowly accumulate gas over many bill

Rare pattern observed in migrating common swifts

Published 21 September 2020 The researchers tracked 102 common swifts on their journey to Africa. Photo: Aron Hejdström. Compared with other migratory birds, the common swift follows a very unusual pattern when it migrates from the breeding areas in Europe to its wintering locations south of the Sahara. This is what researchers have observed in a major eleven-year international study of the birds.

High temperatures threaten the survival of insects

Published 10 November 2020 A banded demoiselle, one of the two species studied. Photo: Erik Svensson. Insects have difficulties handling the higher temperatures brought on by climate change, and might risk overheating. The ability to reproduce is also strongly affected by rising temperatures, even in northern areas of the world, according to a new study from Lund University in Sweden. Insects cann

Iron in binary stars reflects Galaxy’s chemical evolution

Published 24 November 2020 The dance that binary stars do around each other offers new clues to the chemical evolution of our Galaxy, the Milky Way – so says a current research study. For the first time, researchers have identified the link between the orbiting times of certain binary stars and the amount of iron in their interiors. Binary stars are systems containing two stars that orbit each oth

Mimicking the navigation of the insect brain

Published 15 December 2020 David Winge. Photo: Evelina Lindén. How do bees always find their way home, not to mention in a straight line? What is it about the insect brain that allows them to navigate so easily? Could we copy that function? A step in this direction has now been taken by a group of scientists in a project combining the fields of biology, physics, nanoscience and informatics. At fir

Attraktiva matupplevelser genom ”det lokala”

Publicerad 25 mars 2020 Kulinariska aktörer använder ”det lokala” för att skapa sammanhang i matupplevelsen. Genom berättelser om maten, platsen eller traditioner kan aktörer sticka ut och nå fram. Samtidigt kan det bli motsättningar om vad som egentligen är ”lokalt” och vilka aktörer eller produkter som får vara med i gemenskapen. I takt med en växande konkurrens mellan destinationer, växer även
