Despite their old age, the pigment molecules correspond closely to the equivalent pigment in modern-day animals. “With the help of the molecules, we now have a time machine that enables us to revisit and study ancient animals with the same precise instruments and tools that we use to study living animals”, says Per Uvdal, Professor of Chemical Physics at Lund University and MAX-lab in Sweden.

Doctoral student Tuva Richert is taking part in the fascinating detective work - which sometimes requires both surgical instruments and a safety harness.

A number of selected companies in Sweden, Denmark and Norway are to learn about accelerator technology thanks to the CATE project, which is run via Lund University.

The tool is a computer programme that sifts out the interesting events in the proton collisions.

One of Lund’s research teams is using equipment at CERN to study this.They are investigating the limits of when the nuclei of atoms collapse.

A new study shows that Santino’s innovativeness when he plans his stone-throwing is greater than researchers have previously observed.
