I Osqledarens första podcast pratar vi om robotar, artificiell intelligens. Det är, för att citera robotforskaren och årets KTH-alumn 2013 Magnus Egerstedt - "jävligt coolt" med robotar. Programledare Åsa Linder intervjuar Magnus och pratar sedan med KTH:arna Anders Nilsson, Caroline Arkenson och Johan Lundh Heinstedt om hur framtiden med våra elektroniska vänner (eller fiender?) kommer att se ut.

Moose rumen provides insights on the degradation of biomass

Biofuel has been put forward as a green and renewable to alternative fossile fuels. However, the first biofuels got a lot of criticism since they were produced from food crops and the prodcution was done at the expense of growing food.

An alternative to food crops is wood. But the degradation process of the biomass is a problem here.  The current methods are not as cheap and efficient as they need to be for biofuel to be a competitive energy solution.

Henrik Aspeborg and Anders Andersson, two biotechnology researchers at KTH, are part of an international research group that is studying the digestive system of the moose in order to identify enzymes that are suitable for degradation of biomass. Recently they had an article published in the scientific journal The ISME Journal: ”Ninety-nine de novo assembled genomes from the moose (Alces alces) rumen microbiome provide new insights into microbial plant biomass degradation”.
In this episode of KTH Tech Talks we meet Henrik Aspeborg and Anders Andersson, talking about their research.

Podcasts from KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden. Interviews on research and innovations from KTH, sometimes with KTH:s partners. Podcasts are produced by the Communications Department at KTH. 

KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden, is the largest and oldest technical university in Sweden. No less than one third of Sweden’s technical research and engineering education capacity at university level is provided by KTH.
 
Education and research spans from natural sciences to all branches of engineering and includes Architecture, Industrial Management and Urban Planning.

Several national research centres are hosted by KTH. KTH is also a major partner in two out of three European Knowledge and Innovation Communities formed by the prestigious EU organization EIT (European Institute of Innovation and Technology); InnoEnergy within the field sustainable energy and EIT ICT Labs within information and communication research. Five strategic multidisciplinary research platforms have been formed to further enhance KTH’s attraction as a major strategic research partner.

KTH is an international university with many international researchers and students, especially at Master’s level. Extensive international research and educational exchange programmes allow for exchange with universities and colleges in Europe, the U.S. and Australia, but also increasingly in Asia. KTH is a partner in several international university networks such as CLUSTER and T.I.M.E.

KTH was founded in 1827 and the main campus is located in attractive, and now listed, buildings in central Stockholm since 1917. In addition, KTH and Stockholm University jointly offer study programmes and carry out research in biotechnology and physics at nearby AlbaNova University Center. The School of Information and Communication Technology is located on the Kista campus, in the northern part of Stockholm, and there are additional campuses located in Haninge, Flemingsberg and Södertälje in the southern metropolitan area.
