According to a study completed at the University of Helsinki, mining in shallow marine areas conflicts with international conservation and sustainability goals, bringing with it great environmental risks.
Inspired by the human ear, a new acoustic fabric converts audible sounds into electrical signals.
Researchers from the Institute of Biotechnology, University of Helsinki, pioneers in identifying the first patient mutations on the NFkB1-gene, cooperated with international clinicians to identify and characterise a plethora of unreported NFKB1 variants on patients with immune system related illnesses.
Unlike classical computing, which uses bits to represent information as either 0 or 1, quantum computing uses quantum bits, or qubits, which can represent multiple states simultaneously.
Research shows that common chronic diseases and problems associated with oral health have a detrimental and long-term reciprocal effect on each other. To achieve the best possible treatment outcomes, the general and oral health of patients should be considered as a whole.
Thirty-six million people in the U.S. use an energy system developed by a handful of activists in the 1990s. An MIT scholar examines this unusual story.
Pneumonia is one of the most common infectious diseases in the world. But – as shown in a new study from the University of Copenhagen, Rigshospitalet and Hillerød Hospital – our understanding of the disease may have been mistaken. The new knowledge may provide better treatments in the future.
MIT experiment finds people will respond to cues from neighbors about activities and risk preferences.

A new substance has proven useful for treating staphylococcus infections in people with skin lymphoma. This is good news for the patients, but also for the global threat of antibiotics resistance.
Each year, 13 million pregnant women get malaria, and as drug resistance increases, the disease is hard to control. A new study provides the WHO with new knowledge on prevention and treatment.
The device, which uses electricity to boost hormone production in the stomach, could help to ease nausea and counteract appetite loss.
The new diagnostic, which is based on analysis of urine samples, could also be designed to reveal whether a tumor has metastasized.
The device would be a key component of a portable mass spectrometer that could help monitor pollutants, perform medical diagnoses in remote areas, or test Martian soil.
People accept human nurses overruling patient autonomy and deciding on forced medication, but this trust does not extend to nursing robots.
A new study carried out in Finland and Sweden demonstrates that DNA traces preserved in honey are like an open book narrating the activities of the bees that make it.
Researchers have identified a mechanism by which an oncogene commonly activated in cancer patients affects the growth rate of cells. In the future, the findings can help in developing new treatments that could prevent cancer genes from inducing tumor growth.
Researchers from the University of Helsinki, Natural Resources Institute Finland and Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences propose that the role of the ectomycorrhizal fungi should be taken into account in models of carbon accounting.
Supporting emotional connection between a premature baby and parent during the intensive care unit treatment effectively improves the baby’s brain development. The effects are clearly visible in the baby's brain network function and later neurocognitive development.
Since 2010, fertility has been sharply declining in Finland, but reasons for this decline are poorly understood. How Finns explain their decisions to postpone or even not to have (more) children during fertility decline?
