Fleråriga grödor har potential att minska behovet av plöjning och bekämpningsmedel, vilket i sin tur kan leda till minskad markförstöring och utsläpp av växthusgaser. Nyligen invigdes en unik forskningsinfrastruktur som har potential att transformera jordbruket av Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap och LUCSUS, i samarbete med SLU Alnarp. Den nya anläggningen, finansierad av Eur

Afrika är, trots sin stora yta och därmed stora påverkan på den globala kolcykeln, relativt outforskat med avseende på ekosystemfunktioner och påverkan på klimatförändringar. Nu visar en ny in situ-studie under 2010-2022, att Sahelområdet har förlorat mycket av sin kraft som kolsänka under den undersökta tidsperioden. Afrika är, trots sin stora yta och därmed stora påverkan på den globala kolcykel

Neurons thrive and grow in a new type of nanowire material developed by researchers in Nanophysics and Ophthalmology at Lund University in Sweden. In time, the results might improve both neural and retinal implants, and reduce the risk of them losing their effectiveness over time, which is currently a problem. By implanting electrodes in the brain tissue one can stimulate or capture signals from d

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have found a new way to capture energy from sunlight – by using molecules that contain iron. The results are presented in the latest issue of Nature Chemistry. The hope is to develop efficient and environmentally friendly solar energy applications. Solar energy is an inexhaustible resource that we currently only utilise to a very limited extent. Researchers
