With our medical technology, surgeons can see and operate within the body. This surgical technique is possible because the surgeon navigates by advanced three-dimensional maps that show him the way around the inside of the body. 3D ultrasonic images enable the surgeon to see changes in the tissue during...
We investigate and develop ways of creating more efficient and reliable cooling systems using nanofluids and magnetic nanofluids (ferrofluids). These can be used for instance for cooling of power electronics, personal computers and solar cells, and for heat transport of solar heat. This not only takes...
Architecture and aesthetics are fundamental premises for quality of life. Qualities such as building volume and height, preservation of terrain and vegetation as well as choice of materials, are of great importance for both energy efficiency and climate adaptation, and for the architectural and visual expression...
