At the KTH Symposium, the director of the U.S. National Science Foundation explains how scientific co-operation with Sweden benefits American research. Reception and service at central level for international students after arrival at KTH. For Master's students For Exchange students - KTH researchers and their colleagues from France and Japan have found a method to reveal previously unknown details of the atomic binding process. "We have managed to make visible the energy that binds together the atoms in a molecule. These results have received a great deal of attention internationally," says Faris Gel'mukhanov, professor of theoretical chemistry at KTH and a member of the research team. "It's regarded by many as one of the great achievements in physics." The results, published , were attained at the French SOLEIL synchrotron. "By increasing our knowledge about the chemical bonds and interactions between atoms, we in the scientific community can more quickly achieve success in our understanding of several socially important fields," says Professor Gel'mukhanov.
