Understanding and recreating the world’s smallest motors
In the natural world there are motor proteins that can create motion by making use of heat. Wallenberg Scholar Heiner Linke wants to understand how they do it, and design proteins of this kind in the laboratory. “It’s a kind of nanotechnology that we haven’t started to use yet.”
Controlling the most powerful medium in the universe
Wallenberg Scholar Tünde Fülöp studies runaway electrons, unimaginable forces, and spectacular phenomena. Her goal is to open doors to the energy source of the future – fusion, and also to improve medical applications such as radiation therapy for cancer.
Cracking a drug target enigma
Ion channels play a crucial role in many bodily functions and are therefore targets for the development of drugs for conditions such as epilepsy and arrhythmia.
Successful new research environments in mathematics
Wallenberg Scholar Tobias Ekholm is now following up on his groundbreaking progress in geometry and mathematical physics, while also devoting time to building successful research environments. International contacts and exchanges are essential for new advances.
