Virtually all fields of physics are represented at the Department of Physics

Research Subjects

We conduct leading research at both national and international level. Our research is of high status and we have Nobel Prize winners and several other award-winning researchers at Fysikum.

Our Research Groups

Fysikum's research is carried out in both theoretical and experimental physics. We have seven departments and several projects. We often work in collaboration and also with other universities and research institutes.

Research Projects

Physics' size and breadth puts us in a strong position when it comes to physics research. Our ambition is to deliver research results in all, or at least most, areas of physics - and at the highest level.

Publications

Our researchers and students yearly produces a large amount of publications within the area of social work. Since 2007 these are registered in DiVA, the Digital Scientific Archive for easy access.

Ludvig Doeser is the winner of Magnus Axelsson Prize 2024

Ludvig Doeser studied Engineering Physics at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in parallel with hosting exhibitions at Tom Tits in his spare time. During his master programme he was an exchange student in the USA. In 2021, he did his thesis with Jens Jasche and collaborated with Magnus Axelsson at Fysikum. Since January 2022 he is a PhD student at the division of Cosmology, Astroparticle Physics and String Theory - COPS. He teaches and is responsible for the outreach event FysikShow. Ludvig is awarded this year's prize because he intends to introduce FysikShow's experiments into physics teaching.

Study predicts a new quantum anomalous crystal in fractionally filled moiré superlattices

Moiré superlattices, structures that arise when two layers of two-dimensional (2D) materials are overlaid with a small twist angle, have been the focus of numerous physics studies. This is because they have recently been found to host novel fascinating unobserved physical phenomena and exotic phases of matter. (Phys.org)

Turning the ghostly substance into actual light

Postdoctor Andrea Gallo is a researcher in astroparticle physics at Fysikum, Stockholm University. He was born in Turin, Italy, and in 2019 he did his PhD at the Gran Sasso Science Institute in L’Aquila. In March 2021 he came to Stockholm and Fysikum. He's now working in the ALPHA experiment. Together with Jan Conrad he will be working on a project developing a framework for the simulation and analysis of axion experiments (dubbed ASSAI). The project is funded by a grant of the Olle Engkvist foundation.
