Researchers from Lund University in Sweden have discovered that our drinking water is to a large extent purified by millions of “good bacteria” found in water pipes and purification plants. So far, the knowledge about them has been practically non-existent, but this new research is about to change that. Watch video A

I and many others are ambivalent when it comes to the ranking of the world’s universities. But Lund University has made the ranking lists and that does have an impact, at the very least for international marketing purposes. We must be active, rather than passive, in relation to the ranking bodies. Small margins can make a university climb or tumble down the lists, so there is a need to be modest w

Supported lipid bilayers are formed at a faster rate on light-guiding nanowires of high curvature than on conventional planar substrates, with single-vesicle resolution that proves their potential for studying relevant cellular phenomena. This is shown in a recent study by researchers Julia Valderas, Ruby Davtyan, Christelle Prinz, Emma Sparr, Peter Jönsson, Heiner Linke, and Fredrik Höök. “We des

Stem cells from umbilical cords in Skåne are improved with nanotubes. By cross-pollinating nanotechnology with stem cell biology, researchers are creating gentle methods to ensure that more cells perform better. Blood stem cells are altered without showing that they have been modified. “If you are interested in working with blood stem cells in Sweden, this is the place to be.” So says Martin Hjort

Photo by Markus Spiske on Unsplash The pandemic has made us test alternatives to our traditional exam methods, alternatives that work digitally and on remote. Some of these alternatives are worth keeping also when we head back to traditional, on campus, teaching. One thing we have learned the past years is that remote surveillance is problematic (no guarantee it works 100%) and limiting students’
