Theoretical study elucidates deep surface structure of emerging perovskite material
Newly published work by doctoral candidate Azimatu Seidu (CEST group) reveals detailed electronic and atomistic structure of cesium lead triiodide (CsPbI3), an emerging perovskite material
Edible shock- and heat-resistant wood foam could replace plastic packaging
A new bio-based material could replace substances such as Styrofoam and bubble wrap. Artificial intelligence is being used to the development of the material.
Sustainable optical fibres developed from methylcellulose
Researchers from Tampere University and Aalto University have developed optical fibres from methylcellulose, a commonly used cellulose derivative. The finding opens new avenues to short-distance optical fibres using sustainable and environmentally benign fibre processing. The finding was published in the journal Small
From picoseconds to decades: modelling materials for future energy
Professor Andrea Sand tells us about her work modelling how radiation affects materials, and how this can help develop new energy sources for the future
‘Materials shape our understanding of the environment’
Dissertation of the Month: Bilge AktaÅŸ believes that if we start paying more attention to what happens in the world beyond humans, we can start repairing our relationship with the environment.
New funding to commercialise high-tech liquid-repelling coatings
New funding to get damage-resistant, liquid-repelling surfaces out of the laboratory and onto solar panels, skis, and more
Discovering new materials in data
FCAI member Milica Todorović uses computational methods for material science, training AI on her field's vast databases to speed up the search for tomorrow's functional materials.
Ultra-thin designer materials unlock quantum phenomena
New research, published in Nature, has measured highly sought-after Majorana quantum states
Sheets of carbon nanotubes come in a rainbow of colours
Study: Nanotube films come in 466 colours, could be used in electronics, solar panels
Monika Österberg starts as Head of Department at BIO2
Professor Monika Österberg has been nominated as the Head of Department at the Department of Bioproducts and Biosystems (BIO2), starting January 1, 2021. Her term is for three years. She has acted as Vice Head of Department since the beginning of the year 2020.
Funding for partnership networks in research, development and innovation
The Academy of Finland funding ºÚÁÏÍø University supports the development of nanocellulose-based scaffolds as well as the knowledge base and operating methods of the circular economy.
Online training helps quantum researchers get new tech from the laboratory into commercial products
The idea for commercialization starts from the researcher's own skills and knowledge, but interest in entrepreneurship is much greater if the path from an idea to a product is clearly visible.
Going beyond cotton
Aalto University part of a consortium that harnesses collaboration and cutting-edge technology to create circular fashion.
Fibre made from recycled cloth towels and hemp stronger than cotton
The tensile strength of fibres created with the Ioncell method is up to 2.5 times more than that of cotton, while an Ioncell knitted fabric made from recycled hemp withstands abrasion for twice as long as normal hemp fabric.
Azimatu Seidu has won a grant from the Finnish Academy of Science and Letters
Azimatu successfully applies Density Functional Theory (DFT) to screen vast combinations of different materials which find potential application in perovskite-based photovoltaic devices.
Digitalising and 3D printing spare parts enables manufacturing anywhere and anytime
The digitalisation of spare parts is a step towards more sustainable business and reducing the carbon footprint of industry.
A six-meter wide seaweed installation takes over Finnish shopping centre
Julia Lohmann's globally acknowledged seaweed pavilion is on display around the clock at A Bloc in Otaniemi, Finland.
