• Breakthrough in Artificial Photosynthesis Could Boost Solar Future

  Researchers at the KTH Department of Chemistry have designed a molecular catalyst able to convert water into oxygen and protons at speeds similar to natural photosynthesis. The rapidly advancing field could lead to more efficient solutions for converting and storing solar energy.

• They are putting a stop to forest devastation

  Pine weevils are real tree-killers and are munching away at the Swedish forests for SEK 100 million annually. This is a tough setback for a major branch of Swedish industry. Now, however, new tests have indicated that KTH researchers have implemented positive results in the fight against the pine weevil. In addition, the method is both non-toxic and inexpensive.
