Billion investment in research on artificial intelligence
The initiative Wallenberg Autonomous Systems and Software Program (WASP), in which KTH is included, is getting substantial capital injection. Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation (KAW) will contribute a total of SEK 1 billion.The AI investment can be divided into two parts. The major part, led by Danica Kragic Jensfelt, Professor of Computer Science, will focus on machine learning, deep learning and next generation AI (eXplainable AI).
Smartphone case offers blood glucose monitoring on the go
Engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a smartphone case and app that will make it easier for patients to record and track their blood glucose readings, whether they’re at home or on the go.Currently, checking blood sugar levels can be a hassle for people with diabetes, especially when they have to pack their glucose monitoring kits around with them every time they leave the house.

The 22 most innovative tech companies in the UK
In the field of technology, there are new discoveries and advances happening pretty much every day. However, who is really pushing the boundaries and shaping the world of tomorrow? Who is creating the tech that will define the way we live, work and communicate in years to come?
Building virus-sized structures through mass production
It is the double strands of our genes that make them so strong. Using a technique known as DNA origami, biophysicist Hendrik Dietzhas been building nanometer-scale objects for several years at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). Now Dietzand his team have not only broken out of the nanometer realm to build larger objects, but have also cut the production costs a thousand-fold. These innovations open a whole new frontier for the technology.
Renesas achieves large-scale memory operation
Supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions,Renesas Electronics, has announced that it has successfully confirmed large-scale memory operation in a split-gate metal-oxide nitride oxide silicon (SG-MONOS) process using fin-shaped 3D transistors for use in microcontrollers (MCUs) with on-chip flash memory having a circuit linewidth of 16 to 14nm or finer.
