Learning new things continues after graduation
Aalto graduates’ transition to working life and their experience of studies and careers are monitored annually through a career monitoring survey. The responses to the survey provide important information about the work life of graduates, both for current students and for young people considering their future studies. In addition, the information collected is used to develop Aalto University’s teaching and services.
Five things: Origami unfolds in many ways
The word ori means ‘folded’ and kami means ‘paper’ in Japanese. Origami refers to both the traditional Japanese art of paper folding and to the object it produces. At Aalto University, this centuries-old technique finds applications across a variety of disciplines. Here are five examples:
Herd immunity may not work how we think
A new study from researchers at Aalto University suggests that our picture of herd immunity may be incomplete — and that understanding how people are connected could be just as important as knowing how many are immune.
New quantum record: Transmon qubit coherence reaches millisecond threshold
The result foreshadows a leap in computational capabilities, with researchers now inviting experts around the globe to reproduce the groundbreaking measurement.Events
