To make solar energy a reliable energy source, a team of scientists at Sweden's Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg is developing a liquid energy storage medium that can not only release energy from the Sun on demand, but is also transportable.

A new type of material developed at Chalmers University of Technology could bring color to e-paper. The material is flexible, ultrathin and can produce the full color range of an LED-backlit LCD, but requires ten times less energy than a Kindle's e-ink display.

Chalmers University of Technology is developing a new optimization tool that acts like an efficiency expert for industrial robots by smoothing their movements to reduce their energy consumption by as much as 40 percent.

A Swedish man has recently celebrated a milestone in robotic prostheses technology by using a bone-fused prosthetic device that is controlled by his own thoughts for more than a full year, and with reportedly exceptional results.

It seems like hardly a week goes by without our hearing about another automated safety feature for cars. Now, in order to help foster the development of more such concepts, a new Swedish test-track facility has begun operations.

Phantom limb pain (PLP) is common among amputees and has proven difficult to treat, but a new study suggests therapy involving augmented reality could result in a significant reduction of discomfort.

Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden and Polish Wroclaw University of Technology have found a potential way to remove the aggregations of proteins are responsible for brain disorders such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease using lasers.

Researchers have found that a layer of graphene can help keep silicon-based electronics cool, giving it the potential to significantly extend the working life of computers and other electronic devices.

A new system uses invisible patterns woven into clothing to stop counterfeiters.

For the first time, neuromuscular electrodes that enable a prosthetic arm and hand to be controlled by thought have been permanently implanted into the nerves and muscles of an amputee.

An new implantable hearing aid uses bone conduction to bypass the defective middle ear.

The Optisort machine uses artificial intelligence to sort discarded batteries.
