Improving the energy efficiency of the ICT sector is one of the motivations of global consortium SuperC 2033, which Päivi Törmä, professor at Aalto University’s Department of Applied Physics, brought to life last year. This consortium has…

KotiCharge, a start-up company operating in A Grid and developing charging solutions for electric cars, has developed a charging solution where 11 kW of charging power for electric cars can be provided in engine heating poles without…

Finland's good surface and groundwater resources, as well as efficient water treatment technology and wastewater management, ensure that we can enjoy clean water. However, increasing amounts of natural organic matter, chemical pollutants…

Researchers have been looking for ways to decompose sound into its basic ingredients for over 200 years. In the 1820s, French scientist Joseph Fourier proposed that any signal, including sounds, can be built using sufficiently many sine…

The European Centre for Advanced Studies in Thermodynamics (ECAST) on June 14 awarded Aalto University graduate Bayan Karimi with a distinguished thesis prize. The award recognizes a PhD thesis of a promising young researcher covering all…

Bioengineers have found a way to program the size and shape of virus particles by combining viral protein building blocks and templates made from DNA. The resulting nanostructures could have applications in vaccine development and…

The European Physical Society awarded Aalto University Assistant Professor Jose Lado with the EPS Early Career Award 2023. The prize is awarded to researchers that have made a substantial contribution to the development or reputation of…

A better way to wirelessly charge over long distances has been developed at Aalto University. Engineers have optimized the way antennas transmitting and receiving power interact with each other, making use of the phenomenon of “radiation…

This spring, Aalto students participated in the Urban Goodcamp, where they developed solutions to urban challenges in Helsinki in collaboration with local organizations. The solutions focused on food, circularity, and urban mobility.Gut…

Peatlands constitute one of the most important carbon stores on the planet. Rehabilitation aims at restoring drained peatlands to their natural state. Aalto University researchers have led the application of a new remote sensing method…
