Searching for patterns in nature’s chaos
Wallenberg Academy Fellow Klas Modin wants to use mathematics to understand nature’s chaotic structures. To succeed, he is combining quantum theory with equations dating back almost 300 years. In this way, he is taking important steps in fundamental mathematical research, which could ultimately have a bearing on everything from plasma physics to our understanding of hurricanes and astronomical phenomena.
New signaling substance with potential major heart benefits
What role does the signaling substance NO‑ferroheme play in the process whereby our vessels dilate and blood pressure falls? This is one of the questions that Jon Lundberg and his research colleagues at Karolinska Institutet are addressing.
Revealing new animal species, hybrids and evolutionary strategies
Wallenberg Scholar Leif Andersson is examining how animals adapt to climate and environment, and models for evolution by natural selection.
The electronics of tomorrow - decomposing naturally
Imagine if our growing mountains of electronic waste could be drastically reduced by having end-of-life electronic products decompose in soil. Wallenberg Academy Fellow Ergang Wang is working to turn that vision into reality by developing new, biodegradable plastic semiconductors.
