Mistra Geopolitics awarded

Mistra Geopolitics is awarded to the prestigious 100 List 2021, published by the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences (IVA). The 100 List highlights a diversity of research projects from Swedish universities in the field of sustainability.

Research results challenge a decades-old mechanism of how we hear sounds

Researchers have made several discoveries on the functioning mechanisms of the inner hair cells of the ear, which convert sounds into nerve signals. The results challenge the current picture of the hearing organ, which has prevailed for decades.

Long-term stress in dogs linked to the owner-dog relationship

The relationship a dog has with its owner is related to its stress level. This is the conclusion of a newly published study from LiU. The results also suggest that the link between stress and the owner’s personality traits differs between dog breeds.

Gold Graduate Student Award to LiU

Babak Bakhit has received the gold Graduate Student Award at the 47th International Conference on Metallurgical Coatings and Thin Films (ICMCTF), 2021.

Full range of vaccine methods against coronavirus

Less than a year after the new coronavirus had been discovered, the first vaccines were ready for use, developed in record time. How do the corona vaccines differ from vaccines against influenza? And what happens when the virus mutates?

Keeping Baljan warm – even while closed

Teaching by remote methods and student life on hold, right? Well, two students from the two cafés run by the student sections, Baljan and Byttan, describe how they maintain commitment and enthusiasm even in the days of the pandemic.

New conductive polymer ink opens for next-generation printed electronics

Researchers at Linköping University, Sweden, have developed a stable high-conductivity polymer ink. The advance paves the way for innovative printed electronics with high energy efficiency. The results have been published in Nature Communications.

How networks reduce gender segregation

The social science literature has long viewed homophily and network-based job recruitments as crucial drivers of segregation, but researchers at Linköping University and ESADE, Ramon Llull University show that this view must be revised.

An ion pump to deliver chemotherapy agents to the brain

Despite surgery and subsequent treatment with chemotherapy and radiation, the majority of patients experience recurrence of malignant brain tumours. Researchers at LiU have shown that an ion pump can be used to treat brain cancer.

Biogas from excrement to reduce environmental impact

Researchers at LiU have shown that coordinated management of excrement from animals and humans could save nearly EUR 100 million each year. The key is to produce the biogas from the excrement before it is used as fertiliser.

A generous man ahead of his time

A man ahead of his time who made important contributions to computer science and who was ever willing to share his knowledge. The description is that of Harold “Bud” Lawson, founder of a scholarship at Linköping University.

Industrial design – between creativity and efficiency

Good design requires balance. It must be new, but not too deviant, while at the same time satisfying considerations of economy, function and market needs. It must also be easy to use for new products and easy to adapt to future needs.

A breakthrough that enables practical semiconductor spintronics

Future quantum computers might use electron spin to process information. Researchers have now constructed a component in which information can be efficiently exchanged between electron spin and light – at room temperature and above.

The cost of a uterine transplantation

Sweden’s acclaimed research on uterine transplants has taken a new step forward – into the field of health economics. Researchers at Sahlgrenska Academy and LiU have for the first time estimated on a scientific basis the cost of the treatment.

Successful thesis defence by Abubakar Mwasa

Mwasa has been a sandwich PhD student in the Sweden-Uganda bilateral programme. He will return to his home university, Busitema University in Uganda, to strengthen the research capacity in mathematics.

Karin Ackerholm presents the global goals for sustainable development.

Creative collaboration with human rights organisation

LiU Innovation and the human rights organisation Civil Rights Defenders have been working together for two years on new innovation processes. LiU students have played a central role in the work.

Two projects receive grants from Horizon 2020

LiU has been awarded two EU-funded Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowships for international postdocs. The projects will look at soft microrobots and how cancer spreads to the bones.

Threats to health

How is health related to sex, age and ethnicity? A webinar arranged by Region Östergötland and CMHB placed such questions in focus. It attracted many participants to discuss the pandemic, intersectionality and sustainable development.

Sweden’s fastest supercomputer for AI now online

Berzelius is now Sweden’s fastest supercomputer for AI and machine learning, and has been installed at NSC at LiU. A donation of EUR 29.5 million from the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation has made the construction possible.

New material promising for making renewable energy from water

One prospective source of renewable energy is hydrogen gas produced from water with the aid of sunlight. LiU researchers have developed a material that exhibits promising properties to capture solar energy and split water for hydrogen gas production.

Schools play an important role in revealing violence in the home

The government wants to define forcing children to witness intimate partner violence as a crime. A new book published by two LiU researchers discusses the responsibility of preschools and schools when children experience violence in the home.

Research to combat designer drugs

Researchers are involved in the campaign to make designer drugs illegal as quickly as possible. Henrik Gréen investigates how new psychoactive substances act, and why some designer drugs are more lethal than others.

A boost for interdisciplinary science turns 25

Some 200 doctoral students and 50 postdocs have attended the graduate school / network Forium Scientium positioned at the intersection of medicine, technology and science. For 25 years, Forum has gained momentum and maintained its relevance.
