• Researchers performed unique computer simulations

  One of the most extensive data simulations ever was carried out a few weeks ago by researchers at KTH. The test is unique because the research group is the only one in Sweden to have access to Europe's new supercomputer LUMI.

• Understanding the inexplicable in AI gave Stefan the award

  Research on understanding the inexplicable reason why AI works so well gave Stefan Neumann, a postdoc in the division of Theoretical Computer Science, the Heinz Zemanek Award. The award is granted biannually for excellent degree dissertations in informatics and related areas.

• KTH researchers behind breakthrough set to halve data centre energy consumption

  Researchers at KTH have found a way to improve the efficiency of the world’s internet servers. By co-ordinating data traffic, they have succeeded in increasing the speed of computations and data transfers. Their software has the potential to halve the energy consumption of data centres.

• Awarded by Google for his research on cyber security

  "Our research outcome has the potential to impact millions of users by discovering security vulnerabilities in real-world applications." Musard Balliu has been awarded by the Google Research Scholar Program, focused on funding world-class research conducted by early-career professors. We have talked to him about his research in cyber security and what this means for him.

• The students' report on Starlink has been downloaded over 7500 times

  How is satellite-based internet affected by rain and time of day? KTH students Emil Fredriksson and Céline Careau investigated this in their thesis - and they got it right. Their report has now been downloaded 52 times more than the average of all publications on diva in 2024, and the work has been nominated for the Best Paper Award at the international conference SPACOMM 2025 in Nice.

• Aurorae reveal Uranus’s true rotation – with unmatched precision

  After more than a decade of observations using the Hubble Space Telescope, researchers have measured Uranus’s rotation period with unprecedented accuracy – using the planet’s own aurorae as a cosmic clock. The findings lay important groundwork for future planetary research.
