Ulla Hamilton, Deputy Mayor responsible for Traffic and Environment, visited Biomime.
"For me as Deputy Mayor responsible for the environment in the City of Stockholm, it is necessary to keep abreast of developments. I therefore make regular visits to companies and researchers within the environmental and energy field. It was incredibly exciting to visit Biomime and learn about the opportunities available in this research area. I really hope that we can see some examples of biomimetic fiber materials in the City´s environmental profile area Norra Djurgårdsstaden. It is fully in line with our ambition to show cutting edge technology in the area," said Ulla Hamilton (M).

Mikael Lindström, the sole researcher on the RISI top 50 power list 2010
If there is one thing the pulp and paper industry needs in the 21st century, it is innovation. It must find new ways and new products to make - not just simply turning pulp into the commodity of paper. This we can read in the presentation of The RISI top 50 power list 2010.
Fortunately there are some very able and creative brains on the case, the presentation of numer 42 on the list continues. One of them is Mikael Lindström, adjunct professor, and research manager at Sweden's Innventia, a research institute working for the pulp, paper and packaging industries. Since 1998, Lindström has been the senior research manager, for the New Materials and Composites division as well as a "principal investigator" for biomimetic fiber engineering.

Swedish Nano Paper made magnetic; TV-News and article in Ny Teknik
First the KTH researchers invented the world's strongest paper, writes the magazine Ny Teknik. Now, they have also made it magnetic.Two years ago, researchers at KTH took the public and scientific community by surprise. With the help of ordinary cellulose and enzymes, they had created a paper stronger than steel. Prof. Lars Berglund and his colleagues has now taken the next step and assigned the paper a second super-power - it is magnetic. The result is an extremely lightweight, strong and bendable material with numerous applications.
The technology behind the magnetic super-paper has already been granted patents, an article was recently presented in the scientific journal Nature Nanotechnology.
