Funding boost to make quantum circuits reliable
A new EU funded project led by professor Mikko Möttönen aims to demonstrate that quantum-circuit refrigerators can be reliably manufactured
Aalto ARTS Books is taking part in Design Market Online
Design Market is one of the most popular events of Helsinki Design Week. This is the first time the event is being arranged in Spring time and due to the current circumstances, it will take place online. 50 Finnish design companies are taking part in this event.
Atomic-level understanding of materials facilitates product development
Project aims to achieve scientific breakthroughs and create new business.
Relying on “local food” is a distant dream for most of the world
A recent study from Aalto University shows that less than one-third of the world's population could currently meet their demand for food produced in their local vicinity
Something is Lurking in the Heart of Quasar 3C 279
First Event Horizon Telescope Images of a Black-Hole Powered Jet
Researchers need help to obtain data about experiences of the pandemic
We are asking members of the public to share how the pandemic is affecting them to help understand its effects
Researchers modelling the spread of the coronavirus emphasise the importance of avoiding busy indoor spaces
A joint project carried out by four Finnish research organisations has studied the transport and spread of coronavirus through the air. Preliminary results indicate that aerosol particles carrying the virus can remain in the air longer than was originally thought, so it is important to avoid busy public indoor spaces. This also reduces the risk of droplet infection, which remains the main path of transmission for coronavirus.
Invisible dirt detector tested out in Finnish hospital
The technique can be used in sectors ranging from healthcare to the food industry. In the future, it could also be used for detecting viruses
Finnish researchers join forces to investigate the airborne transmission of coronavirus
The project includes fluid dynamics physicists, virologists and biomedical engineering specialists. The researchers are using a supercomputer to carry out 3D modelling and believe that the first results will be obtained in the next few weeks.
New material developed could help clean energy revolution
Researchers developed a promising graphene–carbon nanotube catalyst, giving them better control over hugely important chemical reactions for producing hydrogen fuel
Academic results and international recognition developed favourably in 2019
Campus development took major steps and the School of Business relocated to the new building at the heart of Otaniemi campus.
The European Commission offers significant support to Europe’s AI excellence
The European Commission has decided to fund ELISE, a project proposal that specifically focuses on fundamental research in artificial intelligence, driven by machine learning, with 12 million euros.
New scanner can improve the detection of cancer tissue and brain disease diagnoses
Researchers aim to have the technology ready for hospital use and commercialisation by the end of next year.
Turbulent convection at the heart of stellar activity
By combining modern data analysis techniques with stellar structure modelling for main-sequence and giant stars, researchers shed new light on stellar dynamos
Two books by Aalto ARTS Books were awarded in an international competition
Aalto ARTS Books has received prizes in the International Creative Media Award (ICMA) competition. Both awards came in a series where science and textbooks were awarded: Juuso Koponen's and Jonatan Hildén's work Data Visualization Handbook won gold and Pasi Räbina's Print of Beauty received the “Award of Excellence”, which is awarded for outstanding performance.
New study explains why superconductivity takes place in graphene
Theoretical physicists take important step in development of high temperature superconductors
Art as We Don’t Know It invites readers into the fascinating world of bioart
Art as We Don’t Know It presents a richly illustrated selection of artworks and bioart research.
Molecular big data
Using quantum mechanical calculations, a dataset of 62k organic molecules was generated
New high-tech mouthwash uses light to kill harmful bacteria on teeth
The new method developed by Finnish researchers is based on dual-light photodynamic therapy. The method doesn’t interfere with friendly bacteria in the mouth, or cause bacterial resistance
Aalto ARTS Annual Review celebrated the highlights of 2019
Nine awards and prizes were presented 5 February 2020 at the traditional get-together for Aalto ARTS faculty, staff and students.
