What are the ultimate elements that constitute the matter in our universe? What gives origin to shining stars and black holes? How many worlds are there? What are the mechanisms that can deteriorate our health and eventually lead to disease? What are the secret forces that drove simple chemical compounds to form more complex molecules that ultimately created life on Earth? The universe uses humanity to answer these questions. Science is one of the ways the universe uses to interrogate itself. And to pose the final question: why there is something rather than nothing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A different kind of fika<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Come and enjoy some coffee and science!
The Science Fika is a recurring event where we share our passion for science and talk about different topics in easy-to-understand language. At each event a speaker will have a 20 minutes presentation about a scientific concept, to stimulate your curiosity and to show you the beauty of science. We will provide free fika after the presentation, giving you the opportunity to mingle and discuss in a more informal way. So welcome, sit back and enjoy some exciting science!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lectures will take place in collaboration with Folkuniversitetet and Proteintech in spring 2025<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Att vara tuff: hur den 360 miljoner \u00e5r gamla fossila huden ber\u00e4ttar om de tidigaste landryggradsdjurens liv<\/h1>\n

F\u00f6r 400 miljoner \u00e5r sedan var v\u00e5ra f\u00f6rf\u00e4der fiskar. F\u00f6r att stiga upp p\u00e5 land beh\u00f6vde de inte bara ben, utan ocks\u00e5 en ny hud som kunde f\u00f6rhindra att kroppen torkade ut. Nyligen uppt\u00e4cktes huden fr\u00e5n de f\u00f6rsta landborna, f\u00f6rv\u00e5nansv\u00e4rt olik amfibiehud. Den antyder en livsstil som saknar motsvarighet hos levande djur.<\/p>\n\n\n

To be tough: how the 360-million-year-old fossil skin tells us about the lives of the earliest land vertebrates<\/h1>\n

400 million years ago, our ancestors were fish. To step onto land, they needed not only legs, but also a new skin that could prevent the body from drying out. Recently, the skin of those first land dwellers was discovered, surprisingly distinct from amphibian skin. It suggests a lifestyle that has no equivalent in living animals.<\/p>\n\n\n

Scarlatto, carmine and rossi: Investigating red dyes in early modern
knitted caps<\/h1>\n

A multi-analytical approach to the identification of red dyes in six archaeological and historical knitted caps revealed three different dyestuffs and four recipes were used to achieve the colors. A follow-up experimental reconstruction project explored how these reds may have been produced using 16th century recipes.<\/p>\n\n\n
