• Grant Will Speed Production of Gas Sensor “Noses”

  KTH and a group of industrial partners have been granted $1.5 million for large-scale development of new sustainable production systems for gas sensors. Current and future applications include wearable monitors for asthma patients, breath alcohol lock-out devices for cars, carbon dioxide monitoring for climate control systems and oxygen monitoring for hospital intensive-care units.

• Updated brain valve releases the pressure

  The condition creates dementia-like symptoms and affects around 2,000 Swedes each year. We are referring to an excess of cerebral fluid because of a defect in the flow of cerebrospinal fluid. A solution where a valve is surgically placed behind the ear has previously resolved the issue, but it appears that the valve after just a few years often clogs up completely and must be replaced. The KTH researcher has now found a solution and can thereby introduce Hjärnventil 2.0 (Brain valve 2.0).
