Storing energy in roses

Eleni Stavrinidou leads a research group at the Laboratory of Organic Electronics working with electronic plants. The research has led to a completely new multidisciplinary field of research with a huge potential benefit to society.

"You can't just prohibit studded tyres"

Road vehicles. particularly those with studded tyres, wear down road surfaces and create particles. These are in the air we breathe. What do we know about their effects on health? And how can we best mitigate the problems they cause in our cities?

Floating homes - climate change and our cities

As the climate around us changes, our cities are affected. When a sudden downpour or a heatwave hits, residents still have to manage their day-to-day lives. In Sweden people are working on several fronts to adapt our cities to climate change.

High-precision control of printed electronics

Printed electronic transistor circuits and displays, in which the colour of individual pixels can be changed, are two of many applications of ground-breaking research at the Laboratory of Organic Electronics, published in Science Advances.

LiU exports urban sustainable development

Linköping University and Guangzhou University have opened the Urban Sustainable Development Research Center in Guangzhou, China. Three pilot projects with around 20 committed LiU researchers are already under way as part of the collaboration.

Our digital future in focus at autumn seminar

World-leading research in digital technology and soft electronic materials will be in focus at the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Jubilee Symposium. Electronic skin, social humanoids, organic solar cells and electronic plants are some examples.

Five times the computing power

Researchers at Linköping University have developed a method to increase by a factor of five the computing power in one type of standard chip. The new method is both simple and smart, but the road to publication has been long.
