A new study led by Lund University in Sweden shows that cities negatively affect the diversity of birds.

For example, we have lost about ten vertebrate species in Sweden in the last century. However, all these species occur el

Att leva i ett samhälle med rent vatten och fungerande avloppssystem är grundläggande för människans goda hälsa. I Kazakstan i Centralasien kan man inte räkna med säker vattenförsörjning och många riskerar att få allvarliga infektionssjukdomar. Men nu vill landet fokusera på att förbättra befolkningens hälsa och man vänder sig till Lunds universitet för hjälp. Ungefär 2,1 miljarder människor på jo

Behovet av energilagring växer i takt med att andelen oplanerbar el från vind- och solkraft växer. Forskare har börjat inse att vanliga metaller, såsom järn och aluminium, fungerar alldeles utmärkt att förbränna för att göra el och värme av. Med hjälp av sol- eller vindenergi kan det oxiderade pulvret sedan bli vanlig metall igen. Enligt forskarna är processen säker, billig och fossilfri. De hoppa

Sameh Egyptsons avhandling är en av de mest uppmärksammade – och kritiserade – som lagts fram i Lund på många år. Från början ett slags fredsprojekt för att främja dialog och samtal mellan teologer inom islam och kristendom har hans forskning tjugo år senare landat i en mer än 740 sidor tjock skrift om politisk islam och dess inflytande och påverkan på Sverige. Det har skrivits spaltmeter efter di
