The Academy of Finland’s research programme New Energy will involve a search for solutions for managing the coming major transition in the energy sector. Solutions will be applied to the creation of new energy products; business models; process principles; types of energy; storage, transmission and distribution mechanisms; solutions for managing complex grids; as well as the integration of energy in new ways with habitation, transport, commerce, recycling and the exploitation of biomass.

Five things: Origami unfolds in many ways

The word ori means ‘folded’ and kami means ‘paper’ in Japanese. Origami refers to both the traditional Japanese art of paper folding and to the object it produces. At Aalto University, this centuries-old technique finds applications across a variety of disciplines. Here are five examples:
