'Now for the first time we can see the black hole at the centre of the Milky Way. This image is putting theories about the nature of space and time to the test. It’s an exciting time to be working in science', says Michael Lindqvist at #wearechalmers chalmers.se/en/departments…

From ESO astronomers just presented the first picture of a #blackhole in the center of our own galaxy the #Milkyway . Eleven observatories around the world have collaborated, amongst them Onsala Space Obs
at Chalmers University of Technology. #wearechalmers

A special #molecule that can store #solar #energy for up to 18 years - see a video from the World Economic Forum World Economic Forum about groundbreaking research from Chalmers:

The #noisepollution from fans in #ventilation systems can be harmful to our #health and #wellbeing - but now researchers from Chalmers are the first in the world to develop a new design that eliminates part of the disturbing #sound during operation:

In order to support Ukrainian 🇺🇦 #students and PhD students on the run, Chalmers will present possibilities to help those who recently have arrived in Sweden to continue their studies. Register for a meeting at Chalmers in Gothenburg, 22 April. chalmers.se/en/about-chalm…

After previously demonstrating how solar energy can be stored and then extracted as heat, researchers at Chalmers have now succeeded in getting the system to produce electricity. They can convert solar energy to electricity – on demand. Kasper Moth-Poulsen chalmers.se/en/departments…

A great report from Associated Press The Associated Press into a radical #Swedish project to produce #fossilfree #steel , with contributions from Chalmers Professor Filip Johnsson:

#Biomass and #biofuel has a lot of potential for a #fossilfree future, but disposing of the byproduct #lignin remains a challenge. Now a new research project at Chalmers is looking into developing tailored #enzymes that can speed up the process:
