  • KTH still in top in internationalisation

    For the fifth year in a row, KTH has been awarded the highest rating for its work with internationalisation among Swedish universities. The award is presented by the Swedish Foundation for International Cooperation in Research and Higher Education, STINT.

  • Leading academics call for extending, reframing Sustainable Development Goals

    A group of leading academics are calling for the UN Sustainable Development Goals to be extended past their 2030 target date and updated. In a paper led by KTH Associate Professor Francesco Fuso-Nerini, the researchers say the SDGs need to consider the impact of artificial intelligence (AI), and include more input from communities affected by the goals, among other recommendations.

  • Climate is one culprit in spread and growth of Middle East dust levels

    Climate change is transforming dust storms—a natural phenomenon in the Middle East—into a more frequent and widespread threat to health and economies throughout the region, a new study shows.

  • Study on ship sliming suggests way to reduce costs in ocean transport

    Slime build-up is a costly drag on fuel efficiency for ocean-going cargo ships, leading to more emissions and, eventually, higher consumer prices. A recent study, however, suggests a new approach to managing this common problem.

  • Clean fusion energy: important step forward in efforts to stabilise plasma

    KTH has, in collaboration with Novatron Fusion Group (NFG), reached an exciting milestone in a fast-moving clean fusion energy project. After months of preparation, the research team has recently successfully managed to perform the first ionization tests with hydrogen plasma.

  • 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 be reduced by as much as 20 percent if studs were made instead with an alternative hard metal.

  • Scania cooperation shows promise of remanufactured products

    Scania last year made automotive history by incorporating remanufactured components into the production of new trucks. This innovative move, supported by research from KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden, highlights the transformational potential of circular manufacturing systems.
