Applying a small voltage to the walls of algae growing tanks can prevent cloudy buildup and allow more photosynthesis to happen.
MIT engineers identified an unusually absorbent material that could be used for passive cooling or water harvesting in warm climates.
Researchers from the University of Copenhagen and Aalborg University presents a new study demonstrating that a small molecule in brain cells affects the level of hypocretin, which is responsible for making us feel awake during the day and tired at night. People with a genetic variation of this molecule have a higher risk of suffering from daytime sleepiness.
MIT researchers exhibit a new advancement in autonomous drone navigation, using brain-inspired liquid neural networks that excel in out-of-distribution scenarios.
These tunable proteins could be used to create new materials with specific mechanical properties, like toughness or flexibility.
Specialized groups of neurons within the brainstem control movement. Now researchers at the University of Copenhagen have found that activation of such neurons is sufficient to restore full movement function in mice with symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease. The study helps clinicians to focus Deep Brain Stimulation to the right therapeutic spot and hopefully could improve treatment of motor symptoms in Parkinson’s Disease.
The printer generates vaccine-filled microneedle patches that can be stored long-term at room temperature and applied to the skin.
Researchers have identified gene variants linked to harmful fatty substances in the blood. In the future, it might prove possible to prevent cardiovascular disease by influencing the function of these genes.
The technology, which mimics the body’s natural clotting process, could help keep severely injured people alive until they are treated at a hospital.
A doctoral thesis completed by Jenni Haukio, Master of Social Sciences, reveals that the ideal of open interactivity is not realised in the digital election campaigning of political parties.
Western powers took advantage of the secret communication with the Finnish President Urho Kekkonen and tried to influence his thoughts during the Cold War.
The first six months are crucial to the success of psychotherapeutic interventions for adolescents. According to a recently completed doctoral thesis, the frequency of intervention should be high at the initial stages of treatment.
A new experiment demonstrates the mechanism for how the most stable gas-phase form of iodine -- known as iodic acid -- forms, and suggests it has a catalytic role in atmospheric particle formation.
A study carried out at the University of Helsinki showed that cellular agricultural products could reduce the environmental impact associated with traditional protein production.
A new study from the University of Helsinki demonstrates the added value of genetic information in measuring inherited disease risk, alongside the widely used assessment of family history.
An international team of scientists, led by the University of Helsinki, has demonstrated that image databases can be used as an alternative to museum collections when studying long-term changes in human-nature interaction and as material in ecological and evolutionary research.
Researchers at the University of Helsinki have discovered a number of mutual connections between feline fearfulness, aggression and excessive grooming. Identifying such connections can provide means for preventing problematic behaviour.
In her doctoral thesis on insurance mathematics, Miriam Hägele discusses phenomena known as black swans. These are sudden and unpredictable events with potentially severe consequences
Researchers at the University of Helsinki are developing thin films needed in new types of halide perovskite solar cells, and matching ALD processes, in order to provide increasingly affordable solar cells, enable their integration into objects and, consequently, promote the transition to renewable energy.
A Finnish-led international research team has discovered novel gene variants that increase the risk of a rare but severe lung disease, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. The results also demonstrate notable genetic similarities with susceptibility to severe COVID-19 infection.
