First prize went to the physics researchers from Visättraskolan with “Bernoulli's theory”. They chose a visit to Tom Tits. 9 teams in grades 5 and 6 from five schools in the Stockholm area participated in the 2024 Physics Competition. When the students presented their contributions, they taught each other physics.
PhD students Jakob Beuschlein and Ossian Prane are this year’s job market candidates from the Department of Economics at Stockholm University. Here they tell us about their papers and what happens next.
The Baltic Sea is highly eutrophic, with anoxic seabeds and large algal blooms. But if the countries surrounding the sea had not reduced nutrient discharges, the situation would have been much worse. “Thanks to the measures taken, the Baltic Sea has avoided an ecological disaster”, says researcher Eva Ehrnstén.
Markus Hennrich, professor in quantum physics at Stockholm University, together with Igor Lesanovsky from the Institute of Theoretical Physics at the University of Tübingen and Ferdinand Schmidt-Kaler from Mainz University, has been awarded the European Research Council's most prestigious grant, the ERC Synergy Grant worth EUR 10 million, about SEK 116 million, over a period of six years.
