A newly-developed 3D printing technique could be used to cost-effectively produce customized electronic “machines” the size of insects which enable advanced applications in robotics, medical devices and others.The breakthrough is seen as…

It came out of the blue. A 2022 Ig Nobel Prize goes to engineer Magnus Gens of KTH, who developed a crash-test dummy for moose collisions over 20 years ago as part of a master’s thesis. But now the dummy’s designer hopes it can be put to…

Long after they completed their doctorates at Uppsala University, some 70km north of Stockholm, the two researchers remained connected in different ways. “We haven’t crossed paths much scientifically, but we have done some things together…

Cow mucus provides the basis for a synthetic prophylactic gel developed at KTH Royal Institute of Technology to protect against HIV and herpes transmission. The lubricating gel proved 70 percent effective in lab tests against HIV, and 80…

A new study offers the possibility of unmasking genetic mutations in an organ well before commonly-used screening techniques detect signs of cancer. The secret lies in hunting through seemingly healthy tissue for the genetic coding behind…

Researchers at KTH report that they are closing in on a way to replace batteries for wearables and low-power applications in the internet of things (IoT). The answer lies in an ink coating that enables low-grade heat, which is generated…

Silent zero-emission vessels that swiftly float past the cobs and skerries – is this the future of coastal and open-water boating? We paid a visit to the KTH Värmdö field station, where researchers are busy testing and developing an…

Landing at 89th place worldwide, KTH now ranks highest among universities in Sweden and it has climbed to the 15th highest spot among universities in the European Union.“Being 89th in the world is really an accomplishment. It’s something…

One day soon, buildings could become more energy-efficient—and environmentally sustainable—with insulating material developed from wood by researchers at the Wallenberg Wood Science Center at KTH.The newly-developed material offers as…

Combine skills, offer attractive studies and be a contact hub for partners. This is the vision behind Stockholm Trio for Sustainable Actions – a new initiative from Karolinska Institutet, the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) and…
