Highly radioactive nuclear waste – how to keep it from oblivion

Sweden’s radioactive nuclear waste will be stored in a sealed bedrock repository for 100,000 years. How can we ensure that it is not forgotten? Researchers at Linköping University have come up with a proposal.

Successful outcomes for IFM's materials research in WASP-WISE pilot call

WASP and WISE have recently awarded grants to nine collaborative projects, three of which include participants from the Department of Physics, Chemistry and Biology (IFM) at Linköping University.

Exploring the universe with OpenSpace

By offering OpenSpace free of charge, Prof Bock and his team aim to promote science visualisation, enhance STEM education, and support outreach initiatives.

Reindeer husbandry in the shadow of war – then and now

Sweden’s NATO membership may entail increased military activity in Sami reindeer herding areas. One way of trying to predict the consequences of this is to look back in history. This is what a new research project at LiU will do.

VR-grant for research in precision drugs

LiU-researcher Frank Hernandez has received a grant for his research in designing antibiotics that can be administered with precision. It is one of 23 approved grants by The Swedish Research Council (VR) that focuses on antimicrobial resistance.

How we can reduce loneliness among older adults

"We need to understand why some individuals become lonely and provide them with support at various levels in society before it happens," says Bianca Suanet, professor at LiU who researches an inclusive society for the elderly.

Pain relief through artificial touch in new research project

Can a garment made from smart textiles relieve long-term pain? This is what researchers in neuroscience, materials science, pain research, textile science and biomechanics are seeking to find out in a new interdisciplinary research project.

The next-generation solar cell is fully recyclable

In a study published in Nature, researchers at LiU have developed a method to recycle all parts of a perovskite solar cell repeatedly without environmentally hazardous solvents. The recycled solar cell has the same efficiency as the original one.

Shedding light on sex differences in human disease

Researchers made an unexpected discovery while investigating genetically unique women. Their insights advance our understanding of our most enigmatic chromosome, the X chromosome.

New research project aims to optimize positive energy districts

Linköping University is part of a new European research project aimed at improving energy efficiency in urban areas. The project will run for three years and involves partners from six countries.

New research project focusing on more efficient transport systems

Imagine a city where everything you need – work, shops, healthcare, parks – is within a 15-minute walk or bike ride. That's the vision of the 15-minute city (15mC). A new research project, PERSEUS, is developing a tool to help make it a reality.

LiU flies the flag at half mast

Following the tragic school shooting in Örebro yesterday, the university is flying its flags at half-mast.

Diplomatic talks focusing on nuclear waste and climate

Do the environmental organisations still have a role to play in Swedish nuclear waste final repository design? And is it possible to reach understanding between oil producer Saudi Arabia and the island nation of Fiji?

"Solving a technical challenge is what drives me"

Uppsala or Linköping? Vlatko Milic chose LiU 14 years ago. Staying on after his studies, doing a PhD and being employed as a researcher was not an obvious path. Now, he has started a research project that could increase Swedish resilience.
