A joint materials engineering and chemistry research group at the University of Turku has invented novel and promising materials for water-based flow batteries, a crucial technology for energy storage. If commercialized, the discovery could make energy storage more cost-effective and sustainable.
By using leaf skeletons as templates, researchers harnessed nature's intrinsic hierarchical fractal structures to improve the performance of flexible electronic devices. Wearable sensors and electronic skins are examples of flexible electronics.
Researchers at the University of Turku, Finland, investigated how to use bio-based materials to produce effective UV protection films for solar cells. The study was the first to compare how the properties of different bio-based UV filters change over time.
The universities in Turku launched in autumn 2021 a joint webinar series focusing on technology and sustainable development. Aboa Tech Talks will highlight new technologies and innovative technological research that can offer solutions to the complex global challenges of our time.
In a new study, researchers produced nanomaterials that could be used in developing more accurate sensors for healthcare in the future. For example, the levels of female hormones are so low that very sensitive sensors are needed to detect their fluctuations in the body.
Science and art meet in a unique photography exhibition opening at the University of Turku on Tuesday 18 March.
In the context of the 34th BioCity Symposium “Transforming Drug Development for Tomorrow” (28-29 August 2025) the twenty-first Elias Tillandz prize will be awarded for the best scientific paper published in 2024 in Turku.
Researchers developed a theoretical model that predicts substantial increase in the brightness of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) by leveraging novel quantum states called polaritons. Integrating polaritons into OLEDs effectively requires the discovery of new materials, making practical implementation an exciting challenge.
The newly established institute is looking for talented researchers in artificial intelligence and machine learning.
The University of Turku's strategy emphasizes the significance of multidisciplinarity in advancing internationally high-quality research, education, and innovation. The strategy’s multidisciplinary themes bring together researchers and experts from various fields to foster collaboration and new ideas. Now, these themes will present their upcoming activities on 13 March. Join us!
