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.
