Om vi underlåter att ta en debatt i samhället för att vi tycker att deltagarna är okunniga är vi ute på djupt vatten. I klarspråk – då sköter vi inte vårt arbete. Det skriver Temat CRISPRideas i en slutreplik om genteknik.

I en värld med nästan 10 miljarder människor ökar konkurrensen om jordens resurser, såväl materiella som immateriella. Vid Pufendorfinstitutet undersöker det aktuella Temat Resourcification hur saker resourcificeras, dvs hur de definieras, produceras, utnyttjas, används, och tas om hand. Temats koordinatorer Johan Hultman och Hervé Corvellec reder ut begreppen och ger oss en inblick i det pågående

Vid Pufendorfinstitutet pågår just nu temat Postantibiotiska framtider, som samlar forskare från flera discipliner och fakulteter för att undersöka hur en värld där antibiotika inte längre fungerar kan vara levbar. I samband med coronavirusets framfart har vi fått se hela städer och länder stängas ner, människor placerats i karantän, och infrastruktur och handel har upphört att fungera i drabbade

Uteupplevelser har trendat så här i coronatider, när familjemedlemmar ska rastas och social distansering samtidigt tillämpas. Varför inte bota din eller barnens artblindhet när ni ändå är ute? All forskning visar att ju mer man vet om naturen, desto mer villig är man att värna den. Här tipsar medlemmar i ASGn Species and Alien Species om tio vanliga – och de flesta även ätbara – växter att leta ef

CRISPR är en revolutionerande teknik som möjliggör effektiv redigering av DNA. Framtida tillämpningar av CRISPR kan förväntas bli breda men förutsätter etiska, juridiska och hälsoekonomiska överväganden. I en medicinsk kommentar i Läkartidningen skriver Marcus Järås, docent i klinisk genetik och medlem i Temat CRISPR ideas, vid Pufendorfinstitutet, om framtida möjligheter och utmaningar med CRISPR

Transistors that can change properties are important elements in the development of tomorrow’s semiconductors. With standard transistors approaching the limit for how small they can be, having more functions on the same number of units becomes increasingly important in enabling the development of small, energy-efficient circuits for improved memory and more powerful computers. Researchers at Lund

NanoLundian Kimberly Dick is, for more than a decade, a Wallenberg Academy Fellow, and studies the building of new materials by working on an atom-scale. As put in the film: If an atom were the size of a Lego piece, lying in a hand, the hand would be the size of planet Earth. “Big discoveries are made when we realize something fundamental and yet surprising about nature”, she says.

Corrosion-resistant metallic materials are required in applications such as rocket engines, nuclear power stations and chemical industry. An alloy of nickel, chromium, and molybdenum is often used. However, a new study shows that this alloy rusts in a previously unknown way. Buildings, modes of transport, artworks, and music instruments – we encounter metallic materials almost everywhere in societ
