Textile muscles is a young research field. In the long run, the technology can be built into clothes that can give an extra boost during heavy lifting, give hugs at a distance and help the visually impaired navigate the urban environment.

Sensor and Actuator Systems (SAS) conducts multidisciplinary research on all areas of transduction sciences from materials for sensors, and systems integration to cell free synthetic biology lab-on-a-chip detection and soft robots.

We work on development and characterization of chemical gas sensors, silicon carbide field effect transistors, graphene and other 2D materials for gas sensors.

The Bionic and Transductor Science unit conductrs research in the interface between biology, material science, transducers and microsystem technology.

Work in the Chemical and biosensor systems research group bridges fundamental discoveries with real-world applications, driving progress through collaborations with industry, academia, and societal partners.

At Optical Devices Laboratory we research on methods and devices for optical chemical sensing, such as disposable and autonomous lab-on-a-chip systems, and optical devices conceived for universal interfacing to readout instruments.

Edwin Jager (IFM) along with his co-applicant Nils-Krister Persson (Swedish School of Textiles) recently received the exciting news of continued funding for their project "Textile muscles for augmenting garments" from the Erling-Perssons Foundation.

Cooking exposes humans to a lot of unpleasant, toxic and even deadly fumes. Two groups of master students at LiU have found a solution to one of the big polluters of our home environment.

Edwin Jager’s research in soft exoskeletons is now financed for three more years.

Today, cadaver dogs are used to find human remains, for instance after a murder or a natural disaster. But as this practice faces both legal and ethical problems, researchers at LiU are developing an electronic nose as a complement the search dogs.
