In a pioneering longitudinal study, researchers tracked one person’s brain and behavioural activity for five months using brain scans and data from wearable devices and smartphones. They found that the everyday effects of sleep, exercise, heart rate and mood — both good and bad — could linger in our brains for over two weeks.
Researchers have developed a binder material that can replace carbon-intensive cement on soft clay construction sites. It's capable of slashing emissions from binder manufacturing by up to 75%, without compromising the durability of structures in construction.
A new study has found that intelligence, in the form of general cognitive abilities such as perception, thinking and remembering, is more important than hitherto thought at predicting a person’s ability to complete common tasks with a PC.
We use the word ‘love’ in a bewildering range of contexts — from sexual adoration to parental love or the love of nature. Now, more comprehensive imaging of the brain may shed light on why we use the same word for such a diverse collection of human experiences.
Hitherto a mystery, the thermal energy loss of qubits can be explained with a surprisingly simple experimental setup, according to research from Aalto University.
Over the next three years, European researchers aim to construct passive ventilation systems not from concrete or steel, but from a wood-based foam.
Researchers at Finland’s Aalto University have found a way to use magnets to line up bacteria as they swim. The approach offers more than just a way to nudge bacteria into order – it also provides a useful tool for a wide range of research, such as work on complex materials, phase transitions and condensed matter physics.
In a major multidisciplinary collaboration effort across Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark, researchers have published a pioneering study on the spread of infections across Nordic borders from spring until the end of 2020. The report sheds light on the efficacy of cross-border travel restrictions, helping us better understand which measures actually make a difference.
If we can standardise a comprehensive metric for well-being, we make it a more serious alternative for measuring progress, says Aalto University Professor Frank Martela.
The trend towards hyperscale cloud infrastructures is creating powerful global gatekeepers of computational capability. We must understand the geopolitical implications.
Researchers have developed a novel cell culturing technique that reveals the hidden biomechanics of breast cancer — the end goal, “radical improvement” in the laborious process of screening chemotherapeutics.
New research suggests that people perform better if they think they have an AI assistant – even when they’ve been told it’s unreliable and won’t help them.
Researchers have developed a technique to move objects around with a jet of wind. The new approach makes it possible to manipulate objects at a distance and could be integrated into robots to give machines ethereal fingers.
Virtual reality dance made easier with crowd wave technique. Open source code can be downloaded for Quest 2 and 3
A new typing model simulates the typing process instead of just predicting words
The warming climate shifts the dynamics of tundra environments and makes them release trapped carbon, according to a new study published in Nature. These changes could transform tundras from carbon sinks into a carbon source, exacerbating the effects of climate change.
