Dissertation: "Slowing-down efficiency" could increase well-being of older people – as well as prevent chaos at emergency rooms
The management of Finnish social and health care is often fragmented, says doctoral researcher Olli Halminen from Aalto University's Department of Industrial Engineering and Management. He has examined how older people’s services in Finland function as a whole, and formulated suggestions for improvement.

By detecting tiny flashes of heat, scientists pave way for more stable quantum computers
An international collaboration between quantum scientists resulted in a new way to measure heat dissipation in superconducting quantum circuits.
