• Magnetic nanopaper shows the way for new forest products

  Researchers at KTH, Wallenberg Wood Science Center (WWSC) and SU have succeeded in creating magnetic nanoparticles in super-strong nanopaper. The new nanopaper is extremely light, strong and flexible and can, among other things, be used to prevent the forgery of paper money, and also to filter off metal particles.

• 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.
