New thermal sensor presents novel way to carry out cryogenic measurements
The on-chip bolometer cuts down on costs and complexity while boasting ten times broader operational range.
Olli V. Lounasmaa Memorial Prize awarded to Prof. Andrew Cleland
Prof. Cleland’s work with micromechanical devices and qubits landed the foremost Finnish low-temperature physics prize.
Prof. Anton Zasedatelev: Light and matter in the quantum realm
The new Assistant Professor aims to develop optical computing technologies operating at the fundamental limits of speed and energy.
Doctoral thesis on nuclear fusion at over one hundred million degrees Celsius awarded European physics prize
Henri Kumpulainen's PhD thesis found out how to best predict the behaviour of fusion energy materials in temperatures of over one hundred million degrees Celsius.
Surface repelling different kinds of drops and fog lands Innovation Prize at Department of Applied Physics
The team plans to find industrial partners for their environmentally friendly and scalable hydrophobic surface.
Researchers create gel that can self-heal like human skin
Until now, artificial gels have either managed to replicate this high stiffness or natural skin’s self-healing properties, but not both. Now, a team of researchers from Aalto University and the University of Bayreuth are the first to develop a hydrogel with a unique structure that overcomes earlier limitations, opening the door to applications such as drug delivery, wound healing, soft robotics sensors and artificial skin.
Call open: academic projects for Europe's first 50-qubit quantum computer
VTT's and IQM's recently unveiled 50-qubit computer is now open for research use
Doubling-down on an almost one-hundred-year old math formula unlocks more controllable qubits
Physicists found a simple and effective way to skip over an energy level in a three-state system, potentially leading to increased quantum computational power with fewer qubits.
New research environments on the roadmap
The environments selected for the first time on the Roadmap for the Finnish Research Infrastructures will explore ice and wave modelling, human-centred virtualisation, industrial biotechnology as well as the universe and register-based data sets, among other things
OtaNano included in roadmap of Finnish research infrastructures with ‘lighthouse’ status
The lighthouse status, granted by the Research Council of Finland, demonstrates OtaNano’s position as a unique infrastructure for high impact research.
Professor Päivi Törmä and the SuperC consortium pursue room-temperature superconductivity with quantum geometry and AI
Professor Päivi Törmä and the SuperC consortium aim to realize the energy-saving reality of superconductors operating at higher temperatures than near-absolute zero.
Year of Quantum 2025: What does this global declaration mean for Finland?
The year of 2025 marks a significant step forward for quantum technology research and development both in Finland and beyond.
Aalto University participates in Finnish physics education network
A network focused on sharing physics education materials is being set up by nine Finnish universities with the help of a grant from the Ministry of Education and Culture
Researchers aim to correct quantum errors at super-cold temperatures instead of room temperature
One of the major challenges in the development of quantum computers is that the quantum bits, or qubits, are too imprecise. More efficient quantum error correction is therefore needed to make quantum computers more widely available in the future. Professor Mikko Möttönen has proposed a novel solution for quantum error correction and has received a three-year grant from the Jane and Aatos Erkko Foundation to develop it.
Physicists unlock transformative new way to transmit information over laser light
The discovery, centred around controlling tiny hurricanes of light and electromagnetic fields, could revolutionise how much information we can deliver over cables.
Call for two Assistant Professors in Computational Physics
