We develop modular solutions with low power consumption for wireless sensor networks, wireless data transmission with focus on high data rate / low cost, and antenna and radio frequency design for broadband and multi-band communication systems.

At Laboratory of Organic Electronics, LOE, we explore electronic and optical properties of organic materials and organic-inorganic hybrid systems.

Energy efficiency in signal processing hardware is vital for several reasons, in particular to reduce the environmental impact, to increase stand-by times, to make batteries smaller and lighter, and to simplify the cooling of circuits.

The theoretical construction is finished, and now only the application is missing. It’s about the human cable – or, in research talk, Body Coupled Communication. The technology works, Jacob Wikner affirms.

The government’s investment in strategic areas of research has been evaluated by an international panel of experts. LiU’s three initiatives all get the thumbs up, and it has been proposed that materials research receive increased funding.

In Täppan Building at Campus Norrköping an unusual but fun research project is being carried out. A wireless network of sensors, developed as part of the Smart City project, is utilized to the wall of plants.

Researchers at 91ÊÓƵ have developed a method to increase by a factor of five the computing power in one type of standard chip. The new method is both simple and smart, but the road to publication has been long.

Many electronic materials, in particular organic ones, can be turned into inks or pastes. This opens up exciting possibilities to fabricate electronic components and circuits by common printing methods.

Combitech and Norrköping Municipality have managed to get Combitech Whirlpool to donate their advanced EMC lab to LiU. The lab will initially be used for teaching electronic design.

The experiment of the century is to be repeated, but this time using people as random number generators and at the same time in many places around the world. It will now be decided once and for all whether Albert Einstein or Niels Bohr was right.
