Ancient wolves on remote Baltic Sea island reveal link to prehistoric humans

Scientists have found wolf remains, thousands of years old, on a small, isolated island in the Baltic Sea – a place where the animals could only have been brought by humans. The study, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by researchers at the Francis Crick Institute, Stockholm University, the University of Aberdeen and the University of East Anglia, suggests that grey wolves may have been managed or controlled by prehistoric societies.

Cutting-edge research on MOFs opens for future solutions

Metal-Organic Frameworks, awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2025, is a material so porous it can trap toxic molecules like a sponge, store gas, and in the future, release cancer drugs exactly where they’re needed. Research on MOFs has been going on at Stockholm University for twenty years, basic research aiming for future solutions.
