  • 3D printing research showcased on top industry innovation list

    Published Mar 25, 2013

    3D printing has the potential to revolutionize manufacturing processes in a vast number of fields and that includes objects both big and very, very small. The US-based Society of Manufacturing Engineers has highlighted KTH research into 3D printing of nanoscale silicon structures as one of 10 top manufacturing innovations for 2013.

  • 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.”

  • Enhancing ultra-high spectral efficiency in 4G and beyond

    Published Jan 20, 2013

    Andrés Alayón Glazunov combines signal processing and electromagnetic theory in his research. The result? He has discovered physical limitations on the antenna gain patterns in wireless propagation channels. The findings will contribute to enhancing multiple antennas, MIMO, used in communications, sensor and radar system, which among other things enables ultra-high spectral efficiency required in 4G and beyond wireless systems.
