In focus: hydrogen as a green energy carrier
To achieve a fossil-free society, new energy sources need to be developed. A large share of greenhouse gas emissions comes from transportation. Batteries alone will not be able to carry the entire transition; multiple solutions will be required. Hydrogen could therefore become an important part of the future. At Chalmers, extensive research is conducted in the field of hydrogen, ranging from materials, fuel cells, and electrolyzers to societal analyses and applications in heavy transport, aviation, and energy storage. Through several competence centers, technologies for hydrogen-powered vehicles and for a robust energy system are developed and evaluated. Close collaboration with industry is an important part of this research.
Our vision: World in progress
The world is complex and uncertain. Antibiotic-resistant bacteria threaten to make routine surgery deadly again. Technology is taking leaps we can barely comprehend. Geopolitical tensions show us that Europe must be able to stand on its own. But the world is not done. It’s in progress.
In focus: quantum research and the Nobel prize in physics
In 2025, it is one hundred years since quantum mechanics was developed by Werner Heisenberg, and this year the Nobel Prize in Physics is awarded to three quantum physicists – all of whom will visit Chalmers to give lectures after the prize ceremony. All three have strong ties to the physics research that is being conducted at Chalmers today.
In focus: antibiotics resistance
Antibiotic resistance is a serious threat to global public health. To reduce the risks, it is important to develop more knowledge, and to find alternative ways to combat multi-resistant infections. In connection with the World Health Organization's annual campaign – World Antimicrobial Awareness Week – we have gathered some of the research and innovation that is going on to tackle the worldwide challenge.
In focus: electro mobility
The electrification of transport, vehicles and infrastructure is essential to solving some of the greatest challenges of our time. Chalmers contributes to the development of energy-efficient solutions that reduce climate impact, strengthen industry and make a greener future possible. Here you can find some examples of our research in this field.
Explorative AI projects 2025
During the summer of 2025, 24 students from Chalmers were recruited for a unique summer job at the university. Their task was to explore AI and the opportunities it can create within an organization.
