  • Cutting through the noise without turning up the volume

    Published May 24, 2013

    Noise pollution is a growing problem which, according to the World Health Organisation, is responsible for the loss of 654 000 healthy years of life in Europe alone annually. And it is not only traffic, mobile devices or so-called “personal” music equipment that is responsible, but speech itself. Researchers at KTH have developed a method that turns down the volume on loud public announcements while preserving their clarity in noisy environments.

  • Extracting the value from big data

    Published Mar 21, 2013

    2 500 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 – 2.5 quintillion bytes of data are created every day. That is equivalent to the memory in 57.5 billion 32GB iPads. It’s called big data for a reason, but the information content in all that data is very low. Cristian Rojas and Saikat Chatterjee want to extract the essence of the information so that we can estimate and predict the behaviour of complex systems.

  • Cash prize for polymer pioneers

    Published Mar 18, 2013

  • Combining both worlds clarified the message

    Published Mar 01, 2013

    In her thesis Zhongwei Si proposes a generalised method to deliver clear messages in a world of wireless devices which must co-operate in order to get the message across. She has every reason to be satisfied; not only did she “produce an excellent thesis” according to her supervisor, but she and her husband have also had a son in the process. Their journey has not been without challenges, she says, “It was much harder while I was going through the process. Now I've made it.”
