As this year's Nobel Prize winners are announced, the world's eyes turn to Stockholm. From 4 to 14 October, the Nobel Prize Museum, KTH and other local social actors, transform the city into a hub for tech, science, and research under the name Nobel Calling. Discover KTH by taking part in our activities!
What's on at KTH
7 OCTOBER
Cracking the codes - the search for new knowledge
Join us for a conversation about what unites scientists cracking historical ciphers, today's digital ciphers and finding mutations in our genes - as well as the fascination with scientific challenges.
At the Nobelprizemuseum, Beata Megyesi , Professor in Computational Linguistics, Stockholms University, Richard Rosenqvist Brandell , Professor of Clinical Genetics, Karolinska Institutet and David Olgart , Director of Cybercampus Sweden, KTH, will discuss how the search for new knowledge is largely about cracking codes.
KTH opens the doors to its unique research facilities! During our lab tours, you will visit some of KTH's labs, learn about their research, experience the surroundings, and try hands-on projects. There are tours in English and Swedish, with 20 spots per tour.
You will have the option to visit: a fusion reactor, a lab for electromagnetic tests, a lab for electric power technology, a lab for future transport, the visualisation studio, Sweden's most powerful supercomputer, testbeds for future digital infrastructures and cyber-physical systems (TECoSA) and KTH's reactor hall.
Our society is today largely built by advanced materials with a large carbon footprint and a much longer life span than the items we make from them. In this talk, I will go through how we can use Nature’s own building blocks, so called cellulose nanofibers, to make new green sustainable materials.
The seminar takes place between 12:15 - 13:00 in the KTH Library and andvance registration is not neccessary.
