With Varvsstaden out of the picture, the University of Chicago’s establishment and investment in one of the US megacity’s most vulnerable areas, South Side, serve as the blueprint for the Faculty of Fine and Performing Arts’ future co-location. “Imagine creating a campus area in Heleneholm where the Malmö Academy of Music is already located. It would be something completely new in Scandinavia, and

The Max IV facility, set to become the brightest x-ray source in the world, and the world’s first ‘fourth generation’ particle accelerator, has reached a major milestone. The accelerator group has now succeeded in directing the electron beam all the way around the large 3 GeV ring for the first time. “This is of course fantastically exciting and satisfying,” says Pedro Fernandes Tavares, project m

For e-commerce companies, it is cheaper to throw away returned items rather than selling them again. In a new study, researchers at Lund University in Sweden interviewed members of the textile and electronics industries in Europe, hoping to better understand a problem that is snowballing, yet has been the subject of little research. Internet shopping is increasingly commonplace, and with it comes

Researchers at Lund University have discovered how a hidden piece of DNA, known as a transposable element, disrupts normal gene function in a disease called X-Linked Dystonia-Parkinsonism (XDP). Published in Nature Structural and Molecular Biology, their findings uncover the epigenetic processes that lead to changes in gene expression linked to XDP, offering new insights into how this rare genetic

I en studie jämförde forskare Vasaloppsåkare med övrig befolkning och såg att risken att utveckla epilepsi var hälften så stor hos dem som åkt loppet. Studien visar inte på orsakssamband, men forskarna menar att det stärker teorier om träningens positiva effekter på hjärnan. Fördelarna med träning är många: det är bra för våra blodkärl, skelettet och vårt psykiska välbefinnande samtidigt som det m

The most important mineral in today's electric car batteries is lithium. China completely dominates the market, with no extraction taking place in Europe. However, a new study shows that there is great potential for European lithium production, which would bring improvements in competitiveness, the climate and security. The study also points out that there are complex international trade dependenc

This autumn, Lund University will offer its first three free open online courses, known as MOOCs. They will be in green economy, global health and European business law. Despite this decision, opinions are still partially divided. Some see MOOCs as a motor for development that will rejuvenate and adapt higher education to new methods of learning. Others fear that the hype surrounding MOOCs will ro
