MSc Roman Calpe's research introduces novel approaches for tailoring optical coherence using nanostructures, with implications for future photonic technologies.

Launched this autumn, the HERMES project will create a data exchange unit that will revolutionise short-range data transfer by enabling speeds of 100 gigabits per second with minimal energy consumption or production costs.

MSc Isaac Appiah Otoo's research demonstrate how engineered metasurfaces and graphene-based structures can overcome limitations in terahertz (THz) technology.

A lighter and more open augmented reality concept brings AR technology within everyone’s reach while accelerating the field’s development.

MSc Fangfang Li's research contributes to the development of more robust and efficient lasers.

Nine leading Finnish quantum science and technology institutions signed the InstituteQ Collaboration Agreement, thus establishing a new, larger InstituteQ membership base.

Sidra Tul Muntaha, MSc, developed integrated photonic devices for compact, high-resolution LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) systems directly fabricated on silicon chips.

Astuvansalmi in Ristiina, Finland, is home to the largest collection of rock paintings in the Nordic countries. Thanks to imaging methods that are based on computer science, entirely new images may yet be discovered on the rock face.

Maria Cojocari, MSc, investigated new ways to control terahertz radiation using metamaterials - artificial structures engineered to interact with light in unusual ways, and carbon-based thin films.

The European Commission is investing €5 million to launch Phortify, a Europe-wide photonics education and training network.
