                <description><![CDATA[World fuel consumption is shifting more and more to diesel at the expense of gasoline. A recently published article in Nature Chemistry by a research team at Stockholm University and the Polytechnic University of Valencia in Spain presents a new porous material that evinces unique properties for converting gasoline directly into diesel. The material has a tremendously complex atomic structure that could only be determined with the aid of transmission electron microscopy.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Democratization is often viewed as a slow process. Now, researchers at Stockholm University have analyzed all transitions to democracy that have ever occurred. This research shows that in reality, democratization is a rapid process. In half of all cases it has taken less than 2.4 years to go from dictatorship to democracy, and in nearly a quarter of the cases the process took place overnight.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[One of the wonders of the plant world–the Titan Arum or Amorphophallus titanium–is about to bloom in the Edvard Anderson Greenhouse in the Bergius Botanic Garden. The species has only flowered twice before in Sweden—the first time being in 1935 in the Bergius Botanic Garden. The spectacular plant is distinguished by its large size, odd shape and the terrible stench. Once in bloom, the flower lasts only for two or three days.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Being able to speak the local tongue could be decisive for anyone wishing to win contracts and do successful business abroad. Seventy-five percent of Sweden’s export goes to Europe, where Central and Eastern Europe are the fastest growing regions. However, many expatriate managers could markedly improve their communication skills on these markets. This is shown by Kjell Ljungbo in a recently defended doctoral thesis in intercultural business communication from Stockholm University’s School of Business. Kjell Ljungbo will present his findings at Stockholm University 6-7 October 2010 at the University’s “Forskardagarna” event, during which new doctors present their theses.]]></description>
