Where one person sees a beautiful bark surface, another person sees raw data, says Sheung Yiu, who took the photographs for the Ground Truth book.

Academy of Finland’s SRC provides funding for long-term research aimed at identifying solutions to major societal challenges.

”We need business ethics that is fundamentally compatible with the profit motive of companies.”

In our series ‘I claim’, Kaisa Savolainen talks about the utilization of customer information in organizations.

The economic sanctions in force between 2014 and 2017 were most detrimental to Russian companies, but companies also suffered in countries that have high levels of Russian investment or strong commercial ties with Russia.

Aalto University Department of Computer Science's podcast 'Kahvit näppikselle' continues on 17 Sep with new episodes. Our podcast host Risto Sarvas will discuss various technology-related topics with researchers from Aalto University, the University of Helsinki, and the Finnish Centre for Artificial Intelligence FCAI.

In our ‘I claim’ series architect Helena Sandman talks about the importance of empathy in architecture and design practices.

Everyone has to take responsibility in the digital world, says Jarno Limnéll, Professor of Practice, Cyber Security. Blocking threats requires new types of expertise and cooperation.

Here are the presentations from Industrial Chemistry Group at the 2021 Fall ACS Meeting.

This presentation was from Professor Yongdan Li at the 2021 Fall ACS Meeting. This presentation was on celebrating the 40th anniversary of CACS.

The potential and solubility of the active materials can be improved by molecular modification.
Designing bi-redox materials can mitigate the crossover of the electrolyte.
Modifying membranes by 2D materials can enhance the ion selectivity of the membranes without the expense of resistance.

TiO2 nanotubes grown on Ti foil: As functional supports and flexible electrodes

All ARTS infra workshops will have new open hours from 13.9. onwards. The workshops will be in three different categories which will have different schedules. Most workshops will be longer open in the afternoon than currently.

Aalto University, together with five other Finnish universities, is participating in the MustRead Academy, which was launched today. The purpose of the service is to strengthen the role of research-based knowledge in decision-making.

In the future, artificial intelligence-enabled “self-driving” brain stimulators can ameliorate the condition of millions of patients suffering from brain disorders, says Professor of Applied Physics Risto Ilmoniemi. He also thinks that his best research results may still be in the future.

The exhibited projects showcase novel computational design methods to creatively interact with global and local data. Whereas the on-going general discussions in relation to data-handling stresses efficiency, productivity and often de-humanization, the exhibited projects set their focus on the exploration of immersive data-interaction design tools to enhance climate-smart solutions in the urban context. The projects aim for showcasing possibilities to make abstract data visible and tangible, to enter a new level of data-informed responsive design, that has public benefit.
Augmented data-interaction is merged with the tangible sandbox environment, in order to formulate sustainable design speculations for Ainonauki, an urban plaza located between Väre and Aalto Studios. The understanding of available technology to be composed and rearranged in order to support the field specific discourse led to innovative design speculations, based upon human-robotic interaction. The developed design methodology emphasizes the importance of design iterations through computationally informed feedback loops.

Energy transition means transforming the entire European energy system — a change which will affect every part of the society and require huge investment during the transition. It must be done in a socially equitable way. And the progress needs to be accelerated to be able to achieve the EU’s target of net zero emissions by 2050.

Aalto University Research Services organises a webinar series on research data management and open science in autumn 2021.
