Life and death research

Putting patients to sleep using various forms of anaesthesia has been used in medicine for over a century. However, there is still a lot we don’t know about its effects.

Stable perovskite LEDs one step closer

Researchers at Linköping University, working with colleagues in Great Britain, China and the Czech Republic, have developed a perovskite light-emitting diode (LED) with both high efficiency and long operational stability.

Studenthuset wins prestigious construction award

It was supposed to be a big party and celebration. Instead, the coronavirus pandemic turned it into a webcast. But what does that matter when Studenthuset on Campus Valla has been crowned Årets Bygge 2020 (“Building of the Year”).

Increasing the employability of doctoral graduates

Newly promoted doctoral graduates often have difficulty finding a job meeting both their expectations and skills. In order to increase their employability, doctoral graduates, employers and universities must be prepared to act.

Creating stretchable thermoelectric generators

For the first time, a soft and stretchable organic thermoelectric module has been created that can harvest energy from body heat. The breakthrough was enabled by a new composite material that may have widespread use.

Daniel Carlsson first to receive prestigious teaching prize

Håkan Olausson appointed Wallenberg Clinical Scholar

Håkan Olausson has been appointed as a Wallenberg Clinical Scholar by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation. He receives SEK 15 million for his research into the clinical significance of a newly discovered ultrarapid pain-signalling system.

Bacteria cause problems for genetic research

A puzzling modification of DNA that is common in bacteria is not present in humans or other mammals. Scientists at LiU show that previous detection in animals was probably due to limitations of the technology used and bacterial contamination.

LiU to lead major European AI network

The EU Commission has selected the four networks that are to strengthen European research within artificial intelligence (AI). One of the four networks is coordinated and run by Fredrik Heintz, associate professor and AI researcher at LiU.

Henrique: doctorates from both LiU and Brazil

The collaboration between LiU and Brazil is taking a step forward. Henrique Raduenz is a double degree doctoral student and will receive degrees from LiU and Brazilian university UFSC. “There’s a lot of paperwork, but it’s worth the extra effort.”
