The researchers have been chosen by the InterAcademy Panel (IAP), a global network of the world’s science academies which was set up in 1993. Besides Johan Åkerman, Sweden will be represented by Tünde Fülöp from Chalmers University of Technology, having been nominated by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.
Around 1,500 delegates will be gathering to discuss this year’s theme of Driving Growth through Sustainability. The programme will be focusing on how we can increase energy efficiency, reduce carbon emissions, develop green technology and build basic infrastructure.
Åkerman’s research focuses on spintronic oscillators, which use electrons’ magnetic force to generate a radio frequency signal – a technology that is expected to be a breakthrough for the high-speed, wireless home electronics of the future.
Ă…kerman will be blogging directly from the conference in Tianjin on 13-15 September for the Swedish popular science journal Forskning och Framsteg: www.fof.se/blogg.

Microgels form a thin protective shell around a droplet until the temperature rises above 32 degrees. Then the microgels shrink and the droplet dissolves in the surrounding liquid. A study by researchers from the University of Gothenburg now reveals the underlying mechanism behind this process. The discovery could revolutionise methods of targeting medicines to specific […]

Very few patients with psoriasis are depicted in scientific articles – only a fraction of those included in the research are represented in images. This is revealed by a study from the University of Gothenburg, Sweden together with researchers from the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. The lack of images complicates communication with patients, according to […]

Increased vigilance for high blood pressure and diffuse stomach pain. These are some of the characteristics of emergency care adapted for pregnant women and new mothers. The model, which could become clinical routine throughout Sweden, is described in a thesis at the University of Gothenburg. The aim of the thesis was to reduce morbidity and […]
