TME Can the lost love letter of the Andree polar expedition finally be found

During Andrée's ill-fated polar expedition in 1897, crew member Nils Strindberg is said to have dropped a small tin on the island of Fuglesongen when the crew passed in their hydrogen balloon "Örnen". The tin contained a farewell letter to his fiancée Anna Charlier. Despite searches on Fuglesongen, the tin has never been found. New research shows that it may have been accidentally dropped on the wrong island.

Developing infection-proof healthcare environments in low-income countries

Airborne infections are a major cause of post-operative infections, especially in low-income countries where advanced ventilation and air purification equipment is often lacking.&nbsp; In high-income countries, infection rates are relatively low, largely due to well-developed ventilation solutions. On the downside, the technology is expensive, energy intensive and space consuming.

MC2 Record cold quantum refrigerator paves way for reliable quantum computers

Quantum computers require extreme cooling to perform reliable calculations. One of the challenges preventing quantum computers from entering society is the difficulty of freezing the qubits to temperatures close to absolute zero. Now, researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, and the University of Maryland, USA, have engineered a new type of refrigerator that can autonomously cool superconducting qubits to record low temperatures, paving the way for more reliable quantum computation.

SEE Rocking the magnetic cradle of stellar birth

Stars are born in clouds of gas and dust, making it difficult to observe their early development. But researchers at Chalmers have now succeeded in simulating how a star with the mass of the Sun absorbs material from the surrounding disc of material – a process called accretion. The researchers simulated four stars with the same mass but with very different magnetic fields, to see how that affected the accretion.
"These are some of the first high-resolution simulations where we explore the middle stage of protostar evolution where most of the star’s mass is gathered, and which haven’t been studied in this much detail before. Our four simulations cover two months each in the life of a protostar and they took a computational effort equivalent to about two million CPU hours to perform", says Brandt Gaches, astronomer at Chalmers.&nbsp;

Your studies

Welcome to the student pages at chalmers.se! Here, we have gathered the information you will find useful in preparing, planning and carrying out your studies.

Your studies 

Our school commitment aims to stimulate youth in science, technology and mathematics. Children and young people get to see that it is exciting and possible to contribute to a sustainable society.

Vision and strategy

Over the past two hundred years, technological progress has made a decisive contribution to a better life for humankind. However, it is that same technological development that is in many ways responsible for the serious situation our planet now finds itself in. Chalmers must therefore focus even more on the transition that is needed for sustainable change.

Vision and long term strategy

Here, you will find everything you need to remain an active part of the Chalmers community – a network that extends far beyond campus. Discover opportunities for professional growth, get involved, and stay connected with Chalmers and fellow alumni both in Sweden and around the world.

Dedicated, committed employees are the most important/vital success factor for our university. Together, we create brilliant research and education that inspire development in engineering, science, shipping and architecture.
