Investigation of a metre-long front flipper, uniquely preserved with fossilized soft tissues, has revealed that the giant ichthyosaur Temnodontosaurus was equipped with flow control devices that likely served to suppress self-generated noise when foraging in dimly lit pelagic environments about 183 million years ago. Thus, this visually guided megapredator relied on underwater stealth—or ‘silent s

A new interactive guide identifies the most effective actions you can take for the climate. The interest has been so great that the server hosting the guide crashed temporarily. In 2017, Kimberly Nicholas, professor of sustainability studies at Lund University, attracted considerable international attention with a research study that listed the four lifestyle choices that most effectively reduce a

I Sverige är grupptalan – som i det pågående Aurora-målet där 300 ungdomar stämmer staten för bristande klimatpolitik – en ovanlig företeelse. Alltför ovanlig menar rättssociologen Michael Molavi. Han menar att Sverige skulle vinna på fler grupptalsmål och förordar därför att staten ska finansiera rättegångskostnaderna. Den 21 mars meddelade Nacka tingsrätt att ungdomsgruppen Auroras stämningsansö

Affektanfall är vanliga hos små barn och är ofarliga. Ändå genomgår barn ofta omotiverade undersökningar när de söker sjukvård. Anledningen är att det saknas både nationella och internationella riktlinjer hur dessa barn ska utredas. Nu har ett forskarteam på Lunds universitet lagt fram förslag på riktlinjer, för att barnen ska få färre akuta och oplanerade sjukvårdskontakter och i stället ett mer

Typ 2-diabetes är en komplex sjukdom som kan leda till allvarliga hälsoproblem. Därför är det viktigt att förutse vem som är i riskzonen att utveckla sjukdomen. En stor tvärvetenskaplig studie som har letts av Lunds universitet har identifierat en biomarkör i blodet som kan förutse typ 2-diabetes flera år innan diagnos kan ställas. Diabetes är ett växande folkhälsoproblem, som kan leda till hjärt-

Can AI think? The short answer is no, at least not in the way humans think. AI does not have incentives, opinions, or empathy. Even two-year-olds possess something that our artificial systems lack – the capacity to think in terms of cause and effect, according to Peter Gärdenfors, professor of Cognitive Science at Lund University. Since ChatGPT was introduced to great fanfare in 2022, the debate a

Swedish old-growth forests store 83 percent more carbon than managed forests, according to a new study from Lund University. The difference is substantially larger than previous estimates and is mainly due to large carbon stocks in the soil. The study, published in the scientific journal Science, is the most comprehensive mapping of how much carbon is stored in Swedish old-growth forests to date.
