The social life of pets arouses curiosity

LiU’s courses in domestic animal behaviour remain extremely popular. Nearly 900 people applied for the 90 places on a new distance-learning course in animal psychology.

An electronic signal expands the material by a factor of 100

Researchers at the Laboratory of Organic Electronics have discovered a material that can both increase and reduce its volume when exposed to a weak electrical pulse. In a filter, the researchers can control the size of particles that pass through.

They make future gas turbines both greener and safer

In the future, gas turbines will be more efficient, more eco-friendly, and powered by renewable fuel. At the Division for Solid Mechanics, models are being developed to predict the lifetimes of the materials that will make the future possible.
