Aalto University scientists have broken the world record by fourteen fold in the energy resolution of thermal photodetection.
The record was made using a partially superconducting microwave detector. The discovery may lead to ultrasensitive cameras and accessories for the emerging...

Wearable devices can give away your passwords, according to new research.
In the paper "Friend or Foe?: Your Wearable Devices Reveal Your Personal PIN" scientists from Binghamton University and the Stevens Institute of Technology combined data from embedded sensors in...
Red blood cells must be small and flexible enough to squeeze through the tiniest capillaries of the body, where they deliver oxygen to surrounding cells. In the late 1960s, scientists proposed that the minute dimensions of these capillaries, which...
A raw image of the colored droplets as seen under the microscope. The variety of colors seen are created by the balance of fluorescent markers. Reading the color of each marker independently indicates the concentration of each reagent and...

Researchers of Aalto University have developed surfaces where oil transports itself to desired directions. Researchers' oleophobic...
Perovskite-based nanowire lasers are the most efficient known. A topological image of a nanowire is shown (left insert). Room temperature emission images above the lasing threshold for two nanowires composed of different halides, iodide (red in center) and bromide...
"It's very inspiring to see how these structures occur in nature and how they can achieve different functions," says Jifei Ou, a graduate student in media arts and sciences at MIT. "We're just trying to think how can...
