Example automatic news liftup
Here is an example of an automatic news liftup. This component lifts up all news pages (Public and Aalto Community) whose tagging is complementary to that of the image above.
AI that mirrors how humans behave can drive better designs for keyboards and charts
The human-like performance of these AI models is also transparent, paving the way for explainable AI and better human-computer interaction.
Researchers develop first carbon-negative binder material - Significant impact on emissions from infra building
Researchers have developed a binder material that can replace carbon-intensive cement
The butterfly effect – bending and turning artificial muscles with light
In the future, the innovation could be used in for example the development of smart textiles, soft robotics and medicine.
1.5-million-euro ERC grant for creating physical feedback loops in life-inspired materials awarded to Hang Zhang
Dr. Hang Zhang was granted 1.5 million euros on Thursday by the ERC to create coupled physical feedback loops in hydrogels with varying dimensions.
Handbook introduces the world of ceramics
The Ceramics Handbook guides the reader to working with clay through texts, images, illustrations, animations, and videos.
Transparent wood-based coating doesn’t fog up
Coatings made from a wood by-product can keep our glasses and windshields clear
Reprogramming the shape of virus capsids could advance biomedicine
DNA origami nanostructures can be moulded into defined shapes
A life-inspired system dynamically adjusts to its environment
The system regulates its own temperature in response to environmental disturbances
Researchers developed invisible, machine-washable solar cell technology for clothing
The discrete nature of the cells protects them – and makes the clothes more attractive, the physics and design researchers say. Promising applications include work and outdoor clothing, and curtains which react to changes in the amount of light.
Creating solar cells and glass from wood – or a billion tons of biowaste
Researchers map out how biomass from plants could replace unrenewable resources in optical applications
Warm ice may fracture differently than cold ice
New study suggests old rules on how ice breaks may not always hold up
Acoustic solutions made from natural fibres can reduce buildings’ carbon footprints
Aalto University researchers discovered that wood-based pulp fibres are also well-suited for making acoustic materials.
High-speed photos shine a light on how metals fail
By combining experimental and theoretical work, researchers discover what happens when metals are stretched to their yield point
Major breakthrough in extremely water-repellent materials makes them durable enough for the real world
A new armour-plated superhydrophobic material has been developed for potential uses in medical equipment, solar panels and more
Material manufacturing from particles takes a giant step forward
Tiny fibrils extracted from plants have been getting a lot of attention for their strength.
Aalto carbon nanotubes used in new material revolution
Nanomaterials produced here have been used in groundbreaking new Science paper as part of international collaboration
Crab-shell and seaweed compounds spin into yarns for sustainable and functional materials
Biobased fibres are made from two renewable marine resources and with promise in advanced applications, in wovens and medical materials, among others. The threads draw strength from the crab chitin component and flexibility from seaweed alginate.
How sensitive can your quantum detector be?
A new device measures the tiniest energies in superconducting circuits, an essential step for quantum technology
In ten years, Aalto University has created a world-class centre of expertise
Aalto University has brought together science, art, technology and business at the Otaniemi campus and is now one of the world's leading universities in these key areas. Aalto celebrates its 10th anniversary on Wednesday 8 January 2020.
