Scientists demonstrate efficient energy transfer mechanism for graphene sensors and transistors
Aalto University researchers have demonstrated a new type of scattering process to provide an efficient energy transfer mechanism in graphene.
This finding advances the development of extremely sensitive graphene sensors as well as graphene transistors. The results, published online in Nano Letters on May 27, were partly funded by European Union via project RODIN.

Researchers turn energy loss into a way of creating lossless photonics-based devices
Turning energy loss from a fatal flaw into a dial for fine-tuning new states of matter into existence could yield better laser, quantum and optical technology.
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.
