Parental use of digital media gives slower language development in children

A research project at Linköping University has shown that children whose parents often use digital media develop language more slowly than others.

Upper-secondary pupils join researchers at LiU

How do you make nanoparticles and use them to purify water? Is it really possible to control plant photosynthesis? An advanced chemistry lab – what’s it for? What about a career in nanotechnology...?

Five future research leaders at LiU

The Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research has selected 20 young researchers as Future Research Leaders. Five are active at LiU. Each receives SEK 12 million in a five-year period and the opportunity to participate in a leadership programme.

Candidate for vice-chancellor at LiU proposed for consultation process

The recruitment group appointed by the University Board has decided to propose Professor Jan-Ingvar Jönsson, Linköping University, for a consultation process for the vice-chancellorship.

Artificial intelligence finds disease-related genes

An artificial neural network can reveal patterns in huge amounts of gene expression data, and discover groups of disease-related genes. The scientists hope that the method can eventually be applied within precision medicine.

LiU researcher’s protocol protects cruise liners against cyberattacks

Professor Andrei Gurtov at Linköping University has been central to creating a protocol that protects large ships.

Research in children’s medicine at LiU to receive record donation

A private donation of SEK 100 million will strengthen research into children’s medicine at Linköping University.

LiU Student Secondhand wins Environmental Prize

The LiU Student Secondhand project run by student society Navitas has been awarded the LiU Environmental Prize, in the thirteenth year of the competition. The group has set up a second-hand system for the reuse of student furniture.

Summer furniture from Malmstens

The joy of gymnastics, the opportunity to climb to the top and perch, or to gather in a group for quiet chat – all are inspiration for students of furniture design at Malmstens LiU. They plan to fill pop-up parks this summer with relaxation and joy.

Difficult to create sustainable transport chains

Both transport companies and trading companies have high ambitions with respect to sustainable transport. But researchers at LiU and Linnaeus University have shown that several challenges remain before the entire transport chain becomes sustainable.

Norrköping home to world’s first professor of exploranation

Ben Shedd, winner of several awards for his scientific films for dome cinemas, is LiU’s first guest professor in visual scientific communication. The guest professorship has been financed by a donation from the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation.

Students to cancel China journeys

Students and co-workers who are planning to travel to China are encouraged to follow the recommendations of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs. Due to the Corona virus, thirteen students have cancelled their planned journeys to China.

Important differencies in industry's energy work

Investing in energy conservation can give significant additional benefits to a company, sometimes as significant as the energy saving itself. At the same time, the work companies carry out to reduce energyconsumption differ greatly.

The LiU VR lab, a unique resource for engineering students

Using VR in lab work is popular with future engineers at LiU. They learn more rapidly and find everything easier to understand – and later find that industry is eager to employ people who have combined an engineering degree with visual programming.

AI can predict septic shock

Researchers at Linköping University have developed an algorithm that can identify patients at a higher risk of septic shock.

Skin-to-skin contact does not improve interaction between mother and preterm infant

Researchers have studied the relationship between mothers and infants who have continuous skin-to-skin contact during the entire period from birth to discharge from the hospital.

Creating a new generation of contrast agents

Peter Eriksson has defended a thesis at LiU showing that integrating gadolinium into the crystal structure of cerium oxide creates a contrast agent that is less harmful to the body and also gives better contrast in magnetic resonance imaging, MRI.

New life for old mobiles

Sixty-eight mobiles and two tablet computers was the result when students on the master’s programme in design arranged a wake for old mobiles as part of their course. Some people find it difficult to say goodbye to an old friend.

NSC and SMHI contribute to global climate research

Starting in the autumn of 2019, climate data has been delivered to the global climate research programme CMIP6 from the NSC at Linköping University. This is the result of a long-standing collaboration between SMHI and the NSC.

Sustainable markets must be created and defended

Creating sustainable markets poses particular obstacles: a sustainable market must be continuously shaped and reshaped. This is the conclusion of three LiU researchers in business administration, who have used the Swedish biogas market as a case.

Are security stores the answer to antibiotics shortages?

Set up national storage facilities for antibiotics, to solve problems with shortages of these vital drugs in hospitals, an expert group proposes. Professor Håkan Hanberger has long been active in the issue of antibiotic management.

Robots pose new demands on safety

Large industrial robots have thus far worked in isolation, in clearly defined areas without people nearby. A newly presented thesis at LiU, however, shows that such robots can very well work together with people – and how safety can be ensured.

First prize for smart waste sorting

For four months, three students that take the eight-credit course Ingenious, have been working on real challenges from companies and organisations. They have five minutes to present their ideas. Reangle, smart waste sorting, was this year’s winner.

New method gives robust transistors

A new method to fit together layers of semiconductors as thin as a few nanometres has resulted in not only a scientific discovery but also a new type of transistor for high-power electronic devices. The result, published in Applied Physics Letters.
