Beyond keeping cars from losing control studded tires also pulverize the pavement - generating micro-particles that go deep into the body when inhaled. Researchers have developed a metal that does less damage to the road surface. (Photo: David Callahan)

Alternative to studded winter tires reduces airborne particles by 20 percent

On icy roads, studded winter tires can save lives – but they pulverize pavement and fill the air with dangerous, inhalable particles. A new study shows that both road wear and airborne particles could...

Hydrogen as the energy solution of the future

Could hydrogen be a solution for phasing out fossil fuels? Many believe that it can become an integral part of the energy supply of the future. At KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stefan Grönkvist and other researchers are investigating how the production and storage of hydrogen can be optimised.

The challenge of replacing fossil fuels with hydrogen
