It is a material so porous it can trap toxic molecules like a sponge, store gas, and in the future, release cancer drugs exactly where they’re needed. Research on MOFs, awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2025, has been going on at Stockholm University for twenty years, basic research aiming for future solutions.
A newly published study in Nature Sustainability presents a promising route toward safer BPA-free plastics, partly driven by molecular toxicology research conducted at Stockholm University and SciLifeLab.
Two young prominent researchers at Stockholm University are awarded Wallenberg Academy Fellows by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation for basic research.

Water has unique properties that make it indispensable for life on Earth, differences that become even more pronounced when water is cooled below its freezing point. New research from the Department of physics at Stockholm University now shows that the way water molecules move changes as water is cooled to -40 °C, providing new insights into water’s dynamic behavior.
The pan-European research project Psyche will sequence genomes of all 11,000 described species of butterflies and moths of Europe and thereby revolutionize biodiversity genomics. 1,000 genomes are already completed.

Jessica Lindvall, Associate Professor at Stockholm University and Deputy Head of Node of ELIXIR-SE, has been nominated as a candidate to the EOSC Association Board of Directors. The nomination is made by Stockholm University together with the Swedish Research Council and the Swedish universities which are members of the EOSC Association.
Stockholm University, Karolinska Institutet, KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Region Stockholm intend to establish a new centre for medical radiation science in Stockholm. This is a gathering of forces to develop cancer treatment of the future.
With a new study in the journal Cell, researchers at Stanford University and Stockholm University have contributed to increased knowledge about gene regulation in human cells.
Scientists have found wolf remains, thousands of years old, on a small, isolated island in the Baltic Sea – a place where the animals could only have been brought by humans. The study, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by researchers at the Francis Crick Institute, Stockholm University, the University of Aberdeen and the University of East Anglia, suggests that grey wolves may have been managed or controlled by prehistoric societies.
Around 750 students celebrated their master’s degrees in a packed Aula Magna. The evening featured speeches, music, and a clear message to the graduates: bring your knowledge out into the world.
The Stockholm University film ”Chasing the Arctic Melt” was awarded ”Best Science Film” at the Explorers Festival in Iceland in November. The film takes place aboard the icebreaker Oden, where a group of scientists study the rhythm of the Arctic melt, revealing the human side of research. See the film produced by Stockholm University
