In space exploration, long-distance optical links can now be used to transmit images, films, and data from space probes to Earth using light. But in order for the signals to reach all the way and not be disturbed along the way, hypersensitive receivers and noise-free amplifiers are required.

When cars, planes, ships, or computers are built from a material that functions as both a battery and a load-bearing structure, the weight and energy consumption are radically reduced.

Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, in Sweden, have for the first time succeeded in combining two major research fields in photonics by creating a nanoobject with unique optical qualities.

New studies from Chalmers University of Technology, in Sweden, show that almost all air travel within a 750-mile radius (1200 km) could be made with hydrogen-powered aircraft by 2045, and with a novel heat exchanger currently in development, this range could be even further. 

The potential of quantum computers is currently hindered by a significant trade-off. Quantum systems capable of performing complex operations tend to be less tolerant to errors and noise, while those more resistant to noise are harder and slower to compute with.

As more people drive electric cars, congestion and queues can occur when many need to charge simultaneously. A new study from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden shows how AI-controlled charging stations, through smart algorithms, can offer electric vehicle users personalised prices, minimising both price and waiting time for customers.

Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology have performed the world's first life cycle assessment (LCA) of an existing, two-seater, all-electric aircraft, with a direct comparison to an equivalent fossil fuel-powered one.

Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, are now presenting a new and efficient way to recover metals from EV car battery recycling.

Fluidised beds is a technology used in a variety of industries and plays an important role in the transition to green energy and the production of food and drugs.

As more and more electric cars are travelling on the roads of Europe, this is leading to an increase in the use of the critical metals required for components such as electric motors and electronics.

There are high expectations that quantum computers may deliver revolutionary new possibilities for simulating chemical processes.

By using a new method, precious metals can be efficiently recovered from thin-film solar cells.

If an electric car charges while driving, the size of the battery can be reduced by up to 70%, and the load on the power grid can be spread out over the day.

Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have developed a new method that can easily purify contaminated wastewater using a cellulose-based material.

Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have developed a propeller design optimisation method that paves the way for quiet, efficient electric aviation.

Innovative battery researchers have cracked the code to creating real-time 3D images of the promising but temperamental lithium metal battery as it cycles.

Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden have developed a method for predicting falls and cognitive illnesses such as Alzheimer’s disease by reading a person’s walking pattern with the aid of a radar sensor.

A Swedish quantum computer is to become more widely available. A copy of the quantum computer at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden will be built using additional funding from the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation. The new computer, accompanied by a quantum helpdesk, will allow Swedish companies and researchers to solve problems using quantum technology.

In the pursuit of clean and renewable energy, hydrogen plays an important role. But a major challenge facing this transition is that the gas is explosive when mixed with air. Sensitive optical sensors can reduce hydrogen's risks.

Researchers in quantum technology at Chalmers University of Technology have succeeded in developing a technique to control quantum states of light in a three-dimensional cavity.
