European research team gets huge investment to explore sustainable building materials

Is it time we considered alternatives to concrete when building for the future? A more sustainable solution is the ambition of a Malmo University researcher who is part of an EU team that has just received a 50 million SEK cash boost to explore the...

Malmö University announces four new research centres

From 2025 to 2030, Malmö University will be home to as many as eight research centres. Until now, there have been five, but after a call for proposals worth 180 million SEK, four new centres have been added, and one has been discontinued.

Stories can help heal the planet

With the help of storytelling, organisations and companies can adopt a more ethical and sustainable relationship with the world. This is the opinion of researcher Kenneth Mølbjerg Jørgensen, who in a new book presents a holistic approach to nature and the...

We need to talk more about energy justice

Where we get our energy from is an ever-pressing concern, but are we ignoring the concept of energy justice? A Malmö University researcher has brought together politicians, civil servants and environmental organisations to consider the issue.

Bespoke eco-houses for different climates

Is it possible to build homes that are not only self-sufficient, but also produce no emissions and can be adapted to different climates and built from plant-based materials? A Malmö University researcher has the land and is now seeking a sponsor.

Hopeful results for washing without detergent

Could washing our clothes with detergent become a thing of the past? Even though the research is in its early stages, an investigation as to whether washing or cleaning can be done with purified water instead of detergent solution looks promising.

Putting pea seeds under the microscope to find the food of the future

How do you create a plant-based steak with the perfect texture, or a creamy, smooth milk substitute? Researchers at Malmö University have started to investigate the properties of proteins in pea seeds to get one step closer to creating the food of the...

Artificial Intelligence doesn’t have to lead us to a dystopic future

Artificial intelligence could help us solve both environmental and societal problems, but today it is heading in the wrong direction. This is the opinion of a Malmö University researcher who wants to see greater citizen influence in the development of AI,...

Machine learning can help create new energy materials

With the help of machine learning, expensive and time-consuming research can be made more efficient, which should help accelerate the development of new materials for green energy. In a new study, researcher Lindsay Merte shows how the process can be...

Heat waste an important part of the energy puzzle

As Europe faces an energy crisis, and warnings from scientists about global warming grow ever starker, the world is scrambling for innovative ways of producing green energy. One such technique is thermoelectric devices, but this technology has its...

Understanding saliva could lead to better dental hygiene products

Salivary pellicles provide protection from a number of dental and oral diseases, but could an ingredient of dental hygiene products, such as toothpaste and mouthwash, have a detrimental effect on their function?

Cooling clay to counter the heat

Air conditioning already accounts for a huge share of the total energy consumption in warm climate countries. It is not just a burden to the environment, however, but also a financial blow to the pocket. It is an issue which prompted architect and...

Considering a future without bees

It is widely known that bee populations are decreasing, but what can we do without these natural pollinators? A research group at Malmö University is investigating the future affects and how they can be brought into the everyday narrative.
