Revealing invisible Baltic Sea pollution
Polluted groundwater seeps constantly into our seas. These invisible emissions are hard to study, but pose a threat to marine ecosystems for generations to come. Researchers are now examining groundwater emissions throughout the Baltic Sea region, generating knowledge needed to reverse the trend.
Wearable X-ray detectors made from organic semiconductors
Researchers at Linköping University, Chalmers University of Technology and Uppsala University Organic aim to produce semiconductors are set to lay the foundation for a new form of flexible X-ray detectors. The flexibility offers the prospect of lower radiation levels and more accurate imaging.
How clouds in polar regions impact climate
Wallenberg Scholar Annica Ekman is developing a new model to describe cloud formation at the Earth’s poles, with the aim of making more reliable predictions about our future climate.
Understanding the impact of chromosomes on our genes
The DNA molecule in our cells is a full two meters long. To fit, it is therefore tightly packed into chromosomes in the cell nucleus. Johan Elf is developing new techniques to determine how this compact structure and its dynamics affects the way genes are expressed in the cell.
