• The quickest route to turbulence

  For decades, researchers in thermodynamics and fluid mechanics have debated exactly how fast waves and eddies, that is, turbulence can arise in different flows. KTH researchers have now come up with an answer.

• Aviation's VIP line must be reviewed

  Sweden's most notable transport researcher has recently presented his thesis and it is an extensive report. Among other things, it appears that better vehicle technologies and fuels are not sufficient to achieve our climate goals, that there is a need to reduce car travel by 30 percent and that air traffic will surpass car traffic within 10 years as regards the emission of greenhouse gases.

• Tough nut that can withstand 600 degrees heat

  Fatal radiation, 600 degrees heat and a really exciting existence of several kilovolts. That's what KTH researchers' electronics have to cope with when they are used in such brutal environments such as in nuclear power plants and on oil rigs. SEK 24.2 million in research grants will help scientists to succeed.
