I kölvattnet av klimatförändringar och ett allt varmare och torrare klimat blir skogsbränder allt vanligare. I Ukraina ökar kriget risken ytterligare. Redan i mars i år bröt bränder ut runt Tjernobyl. Forskaren Lina Eklund befarar att en torr sommar kan leda till ytterligare bränder med katastrofala humanitära och miljömässiga konsekvenser.

Plaståtervinning och avfallshantering i all ära, men vad blir den egentliga miljövinsten om plastproduktionen fördubblas inom den närmaste 20-årsperioden? Den frågan ställer sig forskare som menar att mer fokus måste läggas på hur plasten produceras. En ny forskningsstudie visar att det inte finns något politiskt intresse för de initiala stegen plastens livscykel; det vill säga vilka råvaror använ

The symptom profiles of different neurodegenerative diseases often overlap, and diagnosing age-related cognitive symptoms is complex. A patient may have multiple overlapping disease processes in the brain at the same time. Now, researchers at Lund University have developed an AI model showing that it is possible to detect several neurodegenerative diseases from a single blood sample. The study is
