Ultrastrong magnetization paving the way for technologies of the future
Powerful forces are at work in the microscopic world of quantum physics. Matthias Geilhufe is examining how ultrafast and superstrong magnetization can occur in materials. This is knowledge that may pave the way for technologies of the future, e.g. more energy-efficient computers.
Bringing research to the lab to prove his theories
Wallenberg Scholar Emil Bergholtz wants to substantiate his theories within topological systems by building an extremely sensitive sensor.
Versatile immune protein provides protection against diabetes
The immune defense protein C3 is considerably less well-researched within cells. There, Wallenberg Scholar Anna Blom has shown that C3 has entirely different roles, including as a protection against the development of diabetes.
Building machines to solve our most complex problems
Our world is full of knotty and time-consuming problems, known as “combinatorial optimization problems.” Wallenberg Scholar Johan Åkerman intends to build machines capable of solving them energy-efficiently and in microseconds. This will pave the way for more efficient technologies and huge opportunities to use society’s resources more efficiently.
