Life Science

Edvin Tobias Bokvist Wrammerfors’s PhD Story

Knee joints bear the full weight of a lifetime of movement, yet the tissues behind this remain surprisingly difficult to study. This project explored whether techniques from large-scale research facilities - synchrotron phase-contrast tomography, neutron tomography, and quasi-elastic neutron scattering - could offer a clearer view of how cartilage and meniscus break down in osteoarthritis.

SwedNess awarded SEK 48 million to continue and expand established graduate school with strong industry collaboration

SwedNess has been awarded SEK 48 million from the Swedish Research Council to continue and further develop its established graduate school in neutron and synchrotron-based research for the period 2026–2028.

CHASAM – Chalmers School on Atomic-scale Modeling

CHASAM is a five-day advanced training course in modern atomistic simulation techniques, designed for PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, and early-career scientists in materials science, physics, and chemistry.

Functional materials

Eric Lindgen’s PhD Story

Colour is everywhere - in autumn leaves, glowing screens, and solar panels. But what is actually happening at the atomic level inside the molecules that produce it? Eric's PhD project tackled this question by combining machine learning with atomistic simulations, making it possible to model these systems with quantum-level accuracy at realistic scales. Neutron scattering provided the experimental grounding, and the work resulted in new tools that bring simulation and experiment closer together than ever before.

SwedNess 10 year Anniversary

SwedNess Marks a Decade of Impact with 10-Year Anniversary Celebration — Researchers, alumni, funding agencies, and key stakeholders gathered at Grand Curiosa in Gothenburg to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of SwedNess, the Swedish Graduate School in Neutron Scattering.
