Research on future energy systems was the focus of a state visit KTH hosted today with Tharman Shanmugaratnam, President of the Republic of Singapore. The delegation included, among others, His Majesty Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden, Crown Princess Victoria, Swedish Minister of Energy and Enterprise Ebba Busch and several corporate representatives. The event was part of President Tharman’s three-day state visit to Sweden.

An audience of about 50 witnessed the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy at the National University of Singapore (signed by NUS Professor Joseph Liow and KTH President Anders Söderholm), which was followed by presentations by Busch and Lisa Ericsson, head of KTH Innovation.

“Sweden and Singapore are both leading nations in innovation,” Ericsson said. “Technical universities like KTH play a vital role in transforming research into new companies. By combining our strengths, we can accelerate innovation and create societal benefits far beyond our own borders.”

The event concluded with a demonstration of fusion technology research livestreamed from the Novatron Fusion Group test facility at KTH.

🎉 Elena Fersman receives the KTH Innovation Award 2026

For over 15 years, Elena Fersman has been a driving force behind AI development at Ericsson. Through her vision, leadership and ability to bring people together, she has helped transform AI from an early research initiative into a strategic capability spanning Ericsson’s entire portfolio, with technologies serving over one billion mobile subscribers worldwide.

As a leader in AI innovation at Ericsson and Associate Professor at KTH, she has demonstrated how bold ideas, long-term commitment and collaboration between research and industry can drive technological change at a global scale.

The KTH Innovation Award recognizes people from KTH whose innovations contribute to a better society. The award was established through donations from Spotify founder Daniel Ek and KTH professor Mathias Uhlen.

Lukten av kanelbullar kan ta oss tillbaka till barndomen på ett ögonblick, men hur fungerar det?

Danica Kragic, professor i robotik vid KTH, och hennes kollegor från Karolinska Institutet och Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems har beviljats 28 miljoner kronor under fem år av Knut och Alice Wallenbergs Stiftelse för att ta reda på mer.

De ska utveckla AI-modeller som kan lära sig hur människor upplever och uppfattar lukter. Luktperception har hittills stått utanför den snabba utvecklingen inom artificiell intelligens och neurovetenskap.

– Vi vill skapa lukter som får människor att minnas saker. Hur beskriver människor en lukt, vilket språk använder de? Vi vill också förstå det kemiska perspektivet, hur kan vi återskapa en lukt utan att använda 100 olika typer av kemiska baser, säger Danica Kragic.

💡This year’s Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel goes to Robert E. Hall and Michael Woodford, who developed a new type of macroeconomic model that has improved the ability to conduct effective stabilisation policy. These models help policymakers use fiscal and monetary measures to smooth economic fluctuations.

“Their contributions to economic theory have been extremely valuable to society. They have helped us build stable economies. Hyperinflation can have devastating consequences, and the tools developed by the laureates have made it possible to achieve greater macroeconomic stability.” says Kent Eriksson, Professor of Economics at KTH.

Congratulations from KTH! 🎉

💡This year’s Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded to Henri B. Kagan and Kenso Soai for their solution to the puzzle of how homochirality can arise spontaneously. The discovery makes it possible to produce only one mirror image of a molecule, which has been crucial for the manufacture of medicines.

"The different enantiomers of molecules – known as chirality – can determine how a drug works and how the building blocks of life are assembled. That is why it is important to be able to control which mirror image is formed," says Peter Dinér, Head of the Department of Chemistry at KTH.

Congratulations from KTH! 🎉

💡This year’s Nobel Prize in Physics is awarded to Francis Halzen "for decisive contributions to the IceCube Neutrino Observatory and the discovery of high-energy neutrinos of astrophysical origin”.

The discovery has opened a new window on the universe and deepened our understanding of both extreme astrophysical phenomena and fundamental particle physics.

At KTH, researchers Tommy Ohlsson, Mattias Blennow and Sandhya Choubey study neutrinos and neutrino oscillations, contributing to research in particle physics and astroparticle physics.

Congratulations from KTH! 🎉

💡 This year’s Nobel Prize in Physiology or medicine goes to Karl Deisseroth, Peter Hegemann and Georg Nagel for their discoveries concerning light-gated ion channels and optogenetics, a method that makes it possible to show how nerve cells shape memories, feelings and behaviours in the living brain.

“This discovery has made it possible to actually study what brain cells in a living brain do,” says Cecilia Williams, Professor of Proteomics at KTH.

Peter Hegemann University of Berlin, Germany) and Georg Nagel (University of Würzburg, Germany) discovered a remarkable protein, channelrhodopsin, in a single-celled alga. Karl Deisseroth (Stanford University, USA) transformed the protein into a light-controlled switch for nerve cells.

Using optogenetics, researchers have been able to reveal neural circuits governing specific memories, feelings, and behaviours relevant for neurological and psychiatric disorders.

Congratulations from KTH! 🎉
