26. Finding the key to MS Multiple Sclerosis is a neurological illness that causes severe disability. The causes of MS are unknown. The Key to Multiple Sclerosis is part of an international research project, mapping out the proteins of the human body. The students were given the task of analysing proteins in the blood of MS patients originating from an isolated region of Sardinia, in the hope that this could provide clues to the cause for this illness.

27. IT in the developing world Thanks to students from KTH, inhabitants of northern Tanzania now have access to internet and cell phones. The project ”IT to Tanzania” used fiber optics to develop communication solutions for developing countries. The project also developed applications for use in health care in two districts of northern Tanzania.

28. Electrifying the wave It looks like a normal surf board, but is powered by an electric engine, and gives the rider a sense of hovering on the waves. ”Evolo – the green water vessel” can travel up to 15 knots. An attempt at creating the next water toy, the project was carried out by students from, among other programmes, Vehicle Engineering and Mechanical Engineering. Some of the students involved in creating Evolo. KTH Royal Institute of Technology • www.kth.se
