We research and teach in several technical and scientific disciplines in which our main areas are organic electronics, media, communications and logistics.

“Skin in a syringe” a step towards a new way to heal burns

Researchers have created what could be called “skin in a syringe”. The gel containing live cells can be 3D printed into a skin transplant, as shown in a study conducted on mice. This technology may lead to new ways to treat burns and severe wounds.

PhD student wins Sweden’s largest AI hackathon — alone

Anan Ashrabi Ananno, a PhD student at Linköping University (LiU), won Google Cloud's Hack with AI on Manufacturing Challenge, working entirely on his own. The event was part of Google Cloud’s launch of a new data center in Sweden.

More effective production of “green” hydrogen with new combined material

Hydrogen produced from water is a promising renewable energy source – especially if the hydrogen is produced using sunlight. Now LiU researchers show that a combination of new materials improves the efficiency of the chemical reaction several times.

The Hasselblad Foundation supports dome film about the moon landings

Visualization Center C in Norrköping is creating a new 3D full dome production to take the audience on a journey back to the moon landings. The Hasselblad Foundation has contributed funding for the film Once Upon the Moon.

Major step for flat and adjustable optics

By carefully placing nanostructures on a flat surface, researchers at LiU have significantly improved the performance of so-called optical metasurfaces in conductive plastics. This is a major step for controllable flat optics.

Academic Celebrations for semi-centennial university

This spring’s Academic Celebrations will take place on 23-24 May. Among the highlights are the performance of a new piece of music composed in honour of the university, and open lectures by honorary doctors, including Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang.

Disturbance-free city during construction projects

Having a holistic approach to all construction projects in a city is the most important factor for minimising disturbance. But that is easier said than done. This is shown by researchers from LiU in a new book.

New cybersecurity lab at LiU

The new cybersecurity lab is a milestone in Linköping University´s investment in education in this field. The students should feel that "wow, it's possible to do something exciting here", said Vice-rector Matts Karlsson at the inauguration on 7 May.

How to reduce global CO2 emissions from industry

Global emissions of carbon dioxide from industry can be reduced by five per cent. But that requires companies and policy makers to take a holistic approach to energy efficiency. This is the conclusion of researchers, including from LiU.

A pipette that can activate individual neurons

Researchers at LiU have developed a type of pipette that can deliver ions to individual neurons without affecting the sensitive extracellular milieu. The technique can provide important insights into how individual braincells are affected.

Blurred borders between civilian and military

A tense political situation in the world, a war in Europe and an everyday life with increasing threats to our security – what do the researchers do? More than you might think and there will be even more. Defence research is more active than ever.

Magnus Klofsten – Professor of brilliant ideas

Thousands of business ideas and innovations have passed Magnus Klofsten during his more than 30 years as a researcher in innovation and entrepreneurship. LiU has been involved in many success stories in Swedish industry.

A fluid battery that can take any shape

Using electrodes in a fluid form, researchers at LiU have developed a battery that can take any shape. This soft and conformable battery can be integrated into future technology in a completely new way.

Nvidia CEO and Riksdag Speaker to be awarded honorary doctorates

Jensen Huang, CEO of the electronics company Nvidia, will become an honorary doctor at Linköping University. So will Riksdag Speaker Andreas Norlén and the international researchers Angela Woods and Gillian Einstein.
