School of Engineering Sciences

The School of Engineering Sciences is located at KTH Campus at Valhallavägen, AlbaNova University Center in Roslagstull and Science For Life Laboratory in Solna. Our activities include physics, mathematics and engineering mechanics.

Our research covers almost everything from basic mathematics to applied mechanics. We work with basic research both theoretically and experimentally in almost all areas, often in collaboration with international universities, colleges, research institutes and industry.

Quantum researcher takes next step towards superconductors

Superconductors can make computers significantly faster and green energy technology even more environmentally friendly. But first, we need a deeper understanding of how superconducting materials actually work. Oscar Tjernberg, Professor of Quantum Materials at the Department of Applied Physics, has now received funding from the ERC to investigate properties and mechanisms using a new method. “If we can create superconductors that can be used at room temperature, it could revolutionise many areas, including electronics, electrical power and medical diagnostics,” says Oscar Tjernberg.

AI can help the body heal itself

Can we learn the body's own language - and thus treat diseases? Cutting-edge research is underway at KTH Royal Institute of Technology to decode the nervous system's signals. The goal is to develop new treatment methods by understanding how our nerves and brain communicate with each other.

Imagine a small implant that sends electrical pulses to a nerve. The nerve signal is passed on to the immune system - and suppresses inflammation where it has occurred.

Fusion reactor could provide energy for the future

We are finally on the verge of harnessing solar energy. This gives us great confidence for the future.
These were the words of KTH professor and astronaut Christer Fuglesang at the inauguration of the Novatron 1 fusion reactor in the Alfvén Laboratory at KTH. Representatives from industry, politics, and academia were present when the machine's first official plasma shot was performed. Novatron Fusion Group AB, the company running the project, describes the machine as the EU's first complete private fusion plasma system.
