  • Brain valve to ease the pressure

    Published May 31, 2011

    NPH, or Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus gives severe problems for those affected. It gives Dementia-like symptoms and each year 2000 Swedes are affected. It is caused by an over-pressure in the brain fluid due to problems with the drainage. This has commonly been treated with an implanted overpressure valve, but there are often problems with clogging of the valve.

  • How to unwire wireless networks

    Published Apr 19, 2011

    An entirely wireless network would be cheaper for the consumer and could be used in areas that lack infrastructure or where there is a severe risk of earthquakes. However, most of today’s wireless networks still remain wired. This is partly because, over the last 40 years, researchers have not been able to determine network capacity. Nicolas Schrammar and Mikael Skoglund have been given an award for shedding light on this problem using an approximation model.

  • Thesis projects closer to the industry

    Published Mar 01, 2011

    14 industry-sponsored master projects in controllable and intelligent power components for electric grids will give students the opportunity to apply their engineering skills in an industrial context. By tying academia and industry closer to each other, EIT InnoEnergy gives students better hopes for employment upon graduation.

  • Recognition of major contributions on a micro scale

    Published Feb 25, 2011

    Their most successful project within medical diagnostics is a pressure sensor that measures strictures in the heart and consequently prevent heart attacks. Today hundreds of such sensors are sold every year, all over the world. When the European Research Council (ERC) announced grants to world-class researchers, Göran Stemme and his research colleagues at the Microsystem Technology Lab brought home SEK 23 million! Such research may result in new medical technology.

  • P2P goes wireless

    Published Feb 24, 2011

    Five years ago, as a visiting professor at ETH, Professor Gunnar Karlsson of KTH worked with Professor Bernhard Plattner from the Communication Systems Group. That was the starting point of the Podnet project. The general idea is to allow wireless devices to communicate directly, peer-to-peer, without any network infrastructure.

    He is striving to obtain the perfect combination of new features in a small size, at a low cost to carry out portable tests for cancer, bacteria or viruses. It must produce results in minutes. The newly-fledged professor of Microsystem Technology Wouter van der Wijngaart had to hit the wall to understand that passion alone was not enough to cope with his growing workload. He needed mental training as much as physical exercise.

  • Quick food allergy test - just a drop of blood

    Published Dec 10, 2010

    Over 15 million people in Europe – including eight percent of all children - suffer from food allergies, and this number is growing steadily. Currently, children who portray mild symptoms may undergo a skin prick test that is not only lengthy but particularly painful and usually very traumatic. Researchers from the Positive consortium are about to change all that by putting a food allergy machine on every pediatrician's desk, a machine that produces test results in 15 minutes from a miniscule drop of blood.
