Solar cell efficiency evolution with time for different cell types. The efficiency of hybrid perovskite solar cells has sky-rocketed in recent years.

The Academy of Finland awarded Patrick Rinke on Tuesday with funding for the LearnSolar Research Project. In LearnSolar, Patrick will develop machine learning methods to design new perovskite materials for more stable, environmentally friendly and efficient solar cells. The results of this project will bring us closer to realizing the dream of affordable energy from the sun for everybody.

Herd immunity may not work how we think

A new study from researchers at Aalto University suggests that our picture of herd immunity may be incomplete — and that understanding how people are connected could be just as important as knowing how many are immune.

Study: 70% of emissions from new buildings come from construction – and this is often overlooked

While energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy have reduced the life cycle emissions of new buildings, emissions from construction have not decreased. Preserving green areas and prioritizing timber construction would make construction more sustainable, researchers emphasize.
