Daniel Hedlund defends his doctoral thesis "New and old materials for permanent magnets based on earth aboundant elements". Read more in the Departement calendar.

Nytt projekt från Energimyndigheten ”Transparenta multifunktionella tunnfilmer på lågjärnglas för solcellsapplikationer” har blivit beviljat, 3 MSEK.

The research project "GreenWaterTech" coordinated by Prof. Lars Österlund
has been granted a grant of approximately 1.4 mEuro from Formas within the framework of
AquaticPollutants ERA.NET Joint Transnational Call along with
partners from SLU, the Czech Republic (IIC-CAS, Uni. J.E. Purkyne) and France
(ENSL, and CNRS / IRCELYON) for research and demonstration of modular
ultrafiltration of water with LED-coupled UV-A optical fibers coated
with semiconductor metal oxides, nanoadsorbent materials and enzymatic
methods.

The project "Properties in exited state and connection between charge carriers and phonons in metal halid perovskites" have been granted 6 million from the Swedish Research Council and the Swedish Energy Agency's call for sustainable energy systems.

Scientists have finally developed a full Heusler material based device that successfully emits terahertz frequencies, opening the door to novel research and application possibilities with terahertz waves
