Electrified roads - TEDxKTH

The world is today facing a grand challenge when it comes to transforming the present energy system, that to large extent is based on fossil energy sources, to a future system that relies on renewable energy sources. This is particularly true for our transports. Regardless how the solution will look like, one thing is certain, electricity will play a major role.

During his talk on TEDxKTH, Mats Leksell will present one part solution to how the road transports can be developed so that they can utilise all renewable energy sources that we in the future will have to rely on.

Watch Mats Leksell's talk live on TEDxKTH Wednesday 2 May, between 14-17.00.

The converter that reduces energy losses by a factor of ten

Researchers at Electrical Energy Conversion have developed an energy converter with an efficiency close to 100 percent. The converter will, among other things, make our electric cars, hybrid cars, electric trains and cross-border electricity grids more energy and cost efficient.

Fighting Childhood Cancer with a Nanotech Capsule Therapy

Researchers from KTH’s Microsystem Technology Lab are working with colleagues at Karolinska Hospital to develop and test a nanotechnology capsule for precise delivery of stem cell medicine. The aim is to fight the most common type of childhood cancer—without the unpleasant side effects of traditional chemotherapy.
