Lasers will help us discover the fuels of tomorrow

How can we stop global warming? Simple: we need to stop burning fossil fuels. Unfortunately, it is difficult to replace fossil fuels in all parts of society. In this project, we develop laser techniques that can help us understand the how energy is produced when different things burn, which will help developing new, clean biofuels. There are some areas in society where burning things is the best/e

Conferences make scientists climate transgressors

Climate researchers often emphasise the fact that reducing carbon emissions is in everyone’s best interest, and should involve all of us. But how good are they at minimising their own carbon footprint? A new study carried out jointly by Lund University in Sweden and the University of Lausanne in Switzerland shows that some of them use up half their annual carbon allowance in a single week. There a

New findings explain the connection between melatonin and type 2 diabetes

A new experimental and clinical study from Lund University in Sweden shows that the sleep hormone melatonin impairs insulin secretion in people with a common gene variant. “This could explain why the risk of type 2 diabetes is greater among, for instance, overnight workers or people with sleeping disorders”, says Professor Hindrik Mulder who is responsible for the study.

US, Europe subsidize rapidly expanding petrochemical industry

With the market for fossil fuels in decline, the oil industry is investing heavily in the chemical and plastics industry instead. The strategy seems to be working: the plastics industry is growing faster than the global economy. Multibillion-dollar subsidies from states and publicly funded banks, combined with weak legislation, are reasons behind the rapid growth, according to a new report from Lu
