In a new report from the Oskar Klein Centre at Fysikum, Stockholm University, researchers Marcus Högås and Edvard Mörtsell show how classic Ising formulas can replace brute-force statistics when dealing with a very common problem: binary (“yes/no”) uncertainties in data. They package the result as two practical “recipes” that any scientist can plug into their existing analysis.
Adam Andrews, who recently completed his PhD at Stockholm University and the Oskar Klein Centre, has been awarded a three-year postdoctoral fellowship in Bologna, Italy, to study one of the deepest mysteries in cosmology: the physics of the early Universe.
In September, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences hosted AI for Science in Beijer Hall, co-organized with the new EDUCATE Centre of Excellence. The two-day meeting brought together researchers and technology leaders to compare strategies for using AI across disciplines—from cosmology and particle physics to fusion, materials discovery and weather forecasting.
In a novel study published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society in August 2025, scientists at the Oskar Klein Centre have developed an AI-powered method to build a digital twin of the Universe—reconstructing its early state and simulating its entire evolution up to the galaxies we see today.
Oskar Klein Centre researcher Alex Brown has been awarded the VENI grant for her work on gravitational waves and neutron star mergers. Now she will apply the powerful frameworks developed for black hole binaries to neutron star binaries, using cutting-edge machine learning inference pipelines.
Jens Jasche, astrophysicist at the Oskar Klein Centre (OKC), has been appointed the new AI Coordinator for the Faculty of Natural Science at Stockholm University. This appointment is part of the university's initiative to strengthen and broaden the use of artificial intelligence in research and education.
The Stockholm University AI Centre convened its inaugural planning session in June and is now moving into the next phase.
On May 28, 2025, the Oskar Klein Centre (OKC) hosted its annual OKC Day at Stockholm's National Museum of Science and Technology. The event featured presentations from leading researchers highlighting recent achievements, ongoing challenges, and future opportunities in cosmology and astrophysics.
Last week, a small team of cosmologists from Spain, Germany, the Netherlands, and Sweden gathered at the Oskar Klein Centre (OKC) in Stockholm for an intensive workshop focused on finalizing the Kilo-Degree Survey (KiDS) 6x2pt Legacy Analysis.
The Vera Rubin Observatory's new LSST telescope is now operational, marking the start of a new era in astronomical research at the Oskar Klein Centre (OKC). With funding previously granted by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation totaling SEK 30 million, OKC now significantly enhances its capability to explore fundamental questions about the universe.
We are delighted to announce that Dr. Azadeh Fattahi has joined the Oskar Klein Centre (OKC) at Stockholm University as an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics. Her arrival is supported by the prestigious Wallenberg Academy Fellowship, awarded for her exciting research project, "Probing Cosmology with Faint Dwarf Galaxies."
On Monday, the Oskar Klein Centre (OKC) hosted an International Particle Physics Masterclass at Vetenskapens Hus, welcoming 13 enthusiastic high school students from Stockholm and Västerås.
