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

Better digital memories with the help of noble gases

The electronics of the future can be made even smaller and more efficient by getting more memory cells to fit in less space. One way to achieve this is by adding the noble gas xenon when manufacturing digital memories.

Individual cells can be connected to plastic electrodes

Researchers at LiU have succeeded in creating a close connection between individual cells and organic electronics. The study lays the foundation for future treatment of neurological and other diseases with very high precision.

A conference of great relevance in additive manufacturing

LiU hosted The Swedish academic conference for additive manufacturing of metals in January 2025

Linköping University launches new advanced composite laboratory

LiU Composite Laboratory (LCL) is the name of a newly established laboratory at Linköping University. Here, research into polymer composite materials will be conducted in collaboration with industry and other universities.

Research shows how data-driven tools can accelerate the energy transition

A new PhD thesis from Linköping University demonstrates how data-driven tools can aid this process and help decision-makers navigate complex choices in the energy field.

Quantum theory and information theory connected

With the help of a new experiment, researchers at LiU, have succeeded in confirming a ten-year-old theoretical study, which connects the complementarity principle with information theory.

Viktor Werner wins the ScAIEM award for the best thesis

Viktor Werner has been awarded ScAIEM Award for Best Thesis in Industrial Management for his research on electrified goods transportation. His work highlights how companies interact with and influence the transition to sustainable transport systems.

How non-toxic and efficient solar cells can be produced

Large-scale production of organic solar cells with high efficiency and minimal environmental impact. This can now be made possible through a new design principle developed at Linköping University.

Diplomas to New Docents at TekFak

Thirteen researchers at Linköping University have advanced in their academic careers by becoming associate professors (docents) at the Faculty of Science and Engineering.

Interdisciplinary research on IVA’s 100 List

Five research projects from LiU are on the 100 List of the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences (IVA). The list pulls together projects with great potential to create value in society.

LiU receives SEK 232 million from the Swedish Research Council

The Swedish Research Council has now decided on the allocation of research grants in four areas. At Linköping University, the area of natural and engineering sciences is to receive the most funding.

Improving Alphafold to predict very large proteins

The AI tool Alphafold has been improved so that it can now predict the shape of very large and complex protein structures. Linköping University researchers have also succeeded in integrating experimental data into the tool.

Creating the flexible X-ray technology of the future

Professor Feng Gao has been granted SEK 31 million from the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation over five years to develop a new type of X-ray technology. The goal is a flexible material that can improve X-ray detector image quality.
