    Two ERC Consolidator Grants to Stockholm University

    Two researchers at Stockholm University receive the prestigious ERC Consolidator Grant 2025. The two grants go to Lisa Dellmuth and Evan O’Connor, researchers in international relations and astronomy respectively.

  • AIMday focused on pathways to sustainable consumption

    How can we reduce the climate impact of consumption – from the food we eat to how we travel, live and shop? This question was at the heart of AIMday Sustainable Consumption, held on December 3 at KTH Royal Institute of Technology and organised by the University Alliance Stockholm Trio.

  • Evolution of phosphorus vs age. The data reveal distinct behaviors for younger and older stellar populations.

    One element, two tracks: the unusual time evolution of phosphorus in our Milky Way

    A Stockholm University led team has produced the first age resolved map of phosphorus of our Milky Way. By combining near-infrared spectroscopy with precise age tags from open stellar clusters and classical Cepheid stars, the researchers uncovered a two-track timeline for how this life linked element accumulated in our Galaxy’s recent past.

    Construction agreement for the MOSAIC instrument on ESO's Extremely Large Telescope signed

    On Monday 1st of December, the European Southern Observatories (ESO) has signed an agreement with a large international consortium for the design and construction of the Multi-Object Spectrograph (MOSAIC), an instrument for ESO’s Extremely Large Telescope (ELT). Able to measure the light from more than two hundred sources at the same time, MOSAIC will be used to trace the growth of galaxies and the distribution of matter from the Big Bang to the present day. Astronomers from Stockholm University are involved in both construction of the instrument, and the scientific exploration that will be done with it.

  • Cutting-edge research on MOFs opens for future solutions

    Metal-Organic Frameworks, awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2025, is a material so porous it can trap toxic molecules like a sponge, store gas, and in the future, release cancer drugs exactly where they’re needed. Research on MOFs has been going on at Stockholm University for twenty years, basic research aiming for future solutions.

  • Toward Safer and More Sustainable Plastics

    A newly published study in Nature Sustainability presents a promising route toward safer BPA-free plastics, partly driven by molecular toxicology research conducted at Stockholm University and SciLifeLab.
