Nuclear Materials Platform receives 40 million SEK in funding
KTH has received funding for a new extensive project in nuclear energy technology. The platform for nuclear materials, NuMaP - Nuclear Materials Platform, receives about 40 million SEK from the Swedish Energy Agency. KTH will receive 17 million SEK.
"This collaboration strengthens KTH and Sweden's ability to conduct cutting-edge research in materials physics with applications for nuclear power. NuMaP will play an important role in preparing Sweden for a fossil-free future," says Pär Olsson, professor at SCI.
On 12 April we celebrated the inauguration of new professors in a formal ceremony at the Grand Hôtel in Stockholm. Explore a selection of short introductory videos featuring our newly installed professors to gain insight and inspiration from the forefront of their research.
At Space Robotics Lab at KTH, robots are trained to navigate in weightless environments. The lab is one of the biggest in Europe. The software used by the space robots is directly connected to NASA. The goal? To develop software and hardware for autonomous robots capable of navigating autonomously in weightless environments – space and subsea conditions.
KTH is part of a multi-billion project to enhance semiconductor production in Sweden, focusing on creating energy-efficient high-voltage transistors for applications like electric vehicle charging. This innovation is crucial for advancing society's electrification. The project will see the first components produced at KTH's Electrum Laboratory within six months, aiming to boost Sweden's semiconductor capabilities.
