Using high-resolution spectroscopy, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have succeeded in mapping the atmosphere of an exoplanet located 322 light years from Earth. The knowledge gained about the hot gas surrounding the Jupiter-like planet is important for the understanding of Earth-like planets. WASP-189b is a planet outside our own solar system, with a dayside temperature of 3,200 degrees C

Astronomers at Lund University in Sweden have found a group of stars in the Milky Way disk, that are most likely remnants from an unknown baby galaxy that was swallowed by the Milky Way over 10 billion years ago. Nothing like it has been discovered in the galaxy disk before. After the Big Bang 13.8 billion years ago, space was a veritable Wild West. Stars formed inside huge gas clouds that collide

An international study led by researchers from Lund University in Sweden has found that a collision in the asteroid belt 470 million years ago created drastic changes to life on Earth. The breakup of a major asteroid filled the entire inner solar system with enormous amounts of dust leading to a unique ice age and, su

Gamification – spelifiering på svenska – blir alltmer populärt på arbetsplatser. Men att införa spelmoment på jobbet är inte enbart positivt, menar organisationsforskaren Sverre Spoelstra. Spelifiering (gamification) syftar oftast på att använda digitala spel- eller tävlingselement i sammanhang som inte är traditionella spel, som på arbetsplatsen eller i skolan. Det kan handla om att samla poäng e

Vad finns det för samband mellan åderförfettning och bakterier i tarm och mun? Forskarna bakom en ny stor studie har funnit flera nya kopplingar. På lång sikt kan kunskapen hjälpa personer med typ 2-diabetes, en grupp som är i riskzonen att utveckla åderförfettning. Åderförfettning, även kallat åderförkalkning, innebär att fett och kalk under lång tid har samlats på insidan av blodkärlen. Då blir
