Modelling of friction and wear on the nanoscale

The ultimate goal is to solve the physical principles of how friction arises and changes under different conditions. The work will progress through studies and integration in different length ranges as well as verification with experiments. The results coupled with understanding may well affect how surfaces and coatings are developed,

Biomimetic sensors for the rapid detection of the SARS-CoV-2 virus

One of the most important tools to combat the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has been diagnosis and contact tracing. The current diagnostic toolbox consists of PCR or antibody-based tests. While the rapid antibody-based assays are useful for their speed, they still lack in sensitivity and high-quality antibodies are costly and complicated

Pilot production for edible coating

The purpose of the pilot production is validating the concept to ensure that we can produce the coating alternatives in larger volumes and produce them for field test. These steps are not conducted in sequential form but with a clear overlap between different phases. We will test and validate the

AR for everyone

The goal of the project is to create opportunities for minor players in the hospitality industry to be able to create experiences that are otherwise only possible for the biggest players in our country. With a little help, they should be able insert models of things that have just collected

High-power acoustofluidics for real time pathogens monitoring

The purpose of the proposed research is to design, fabricate and characterize high-power ultrasonic transducers to create stronger acoustic fields (100-fold) in acoustofluidic microscale devices than the commonly employed single-plate transducers. Such fields would enable strong acoustic radiation force acting on the particles to be handled, so that we can
