Power of numerical simulations to complement experimental studies
Building on excellent experimental data, COMP researchers Dr Matti Ropo and Professor Jaakko Akola (Tampere University of Technology) use numerical simulations to enrich understanding of material families, like the Group 15 nitrogen family, and in this case, liquid bismuth. Density functional/molecular dynamics simulations agree well with inelastic neutron scattering (INS) and inelastic x-ray scattering (IXS) experimental results. This work was completed in collaboration with Dr R.O. Jones of the Peter Grünberg Institute at the Jülich Research Centre in Germany.

Companies disclose more on cybersecurity – but markets remain indifferent
U.S. companies are reporting on cybersecurity in greater detail, yet stock market reactions remain muted. A new study by the University of Vaasa and Aalto University shows that mandatory cybersecurity disclosure does not prompt reactions from investors or stock analysts. Instead, the main benefits appear to materialise within firms themselves.
