Smarter decision-making can save both energy and bandwidth, for example when your wearables communicate with your phone. Shubham Vaishnav has explored lightweight AI-driven solutions for this.
In his doctoral dissertation in economics, Nils Landén Mammos examines how macroprudential and monetary policies affect households and firms through the housing market. One of the essays studies how parents’ housing wealth helps young people enter the housing market and what this means for the pass-through of mortgage regulations.
A recent study led by postdoctoral researcher Gaganpreet Singh at the Oskar Klein Centre brings together numerical simulations, in-house material fabrication and laboratory measurements at a level of detail not previously reported for this class of microwave absorber. The work shows that the geometry of a millimetre-scale absorber, and not the material it is made of, governs how well it traps incoming microwaves. The study, selected as an Editors' Pick in Applied Optics, could simplify the design of future telescopes observing the afterglow of the Big Bang.
Young guppies who were able to see and interact with live fish developed larger brains than guppies who only saw other fish on a screen. This is shown in a new study from Stockholm University, published in Biology Letters. The findings suggest that live social interaction in real time may be important for brain development.
Giorgio Basciu has been awarded the Scardigli Prize by the Italian Association of Germanic Philology (Associazione Italiana di Filologia Germanica – AIFG) for his doctoral thesis, Word Pairs and Other Syndetic Constructions in Old Norse Poetry (2025). The award is presented for outstanding research in Germanic philology.
The SCGG is a founding member of the new Global Governance Research Centre Consortium (GGRCC) – an international network of research centers on global governance. SCGG co-directors Lisa Dellmuth and Jonas Tallberg have been closely involved in developing this new initiative, which will be internally launched on June 8.
New research shows the side effects of private health insurance in Sweden, according to David Seim, Professor of Economics at Stockholm University, in an interview with SVT News.
Researchers have captured the first atomic structures of human SMUG1, an enzyme that helps cells repair damaged DNA. The findings provide new insight into how cells recognise and remove harmful DNA bases, and may support future efforts to develop drugs that target this DNA repair pathway.
New doctoral thesis shows how market structure and pricing behavior shape growth and inflation.
Clouds above the Pacific, soot drifting from agricultural fires, polluted sea spray rising from warming oceans. At this year’s Crafoord Prize Symposium in Geosciences in Stockholm, leading climate researchers gathered to explore one of the defining scientific questions of our time: how aerosols, clouds and other climate pollutants are reshaping Earth’s energy balance, and what that means for societies around the world.
New doctoral thesis explores vaccine hesitancy and how inequality is transmitted across generations.
During the spring, PhD and master's students at the Department of Astronomy have observed astronomical objects with three different telescopes: Onsala Space Observatory, Nordic Optical Telescope, and the AlbaNova telescope. This observation exercise is an important part of their studies. The objects the students looked at are interstellar gas clouds in the Milky Way and exploding stars (supernovae).
