​​When it comes to clothing, being both environmentally-conscious and fashionable can be tricky. Old clothes can be given away, of course, but they still ultimately end up in the landfill. That's why scientists have devised a method of essentially "melting down" old clothes to make new material.​

Researchers at Aalto University have come up with an inexpensive inkjet-printed solar cell that can be made into text or images. Designed to be used with low-power devices, it has already shown performance and durability comparable to that of existing​ organic dye solar cells.

​It's an unfortunate fact of life for web writers … people viewing text online tend to skim through it. With that in mind, researchers have created a program that lets people skim even faster​, while retaining more information.​

Finnish researchers may be able to help all you aspiring rappers out there. Their DeepBeat machine learning algorithm can help shmucks like us create rap lyrics, with a little help from the pros.​

Researchers at the University of Aalto, Finland have broken the efficiency record for black silicon solar cells – a type of cell that can gather sunlight even from tight angles – by almost four percent.

Rolls-Royce and its partners are expanding on their ideas for a virtual bridge that could soon lead to a future where the line between manned and robotic ships becomes completely blurred.

Horatio Hornblower meets Jean-Luc Picard on the ship’s bridge of 2025 as Finnish applied research organization VTT and Rolls-Royce present their vision of seafaring ten years from now.

Smart phones are techno wonders, and they are also energy guzzlers, which is not a problem for people living in the developed world.

Finnish researchers have developed a method of fuel cell production, that uses 60 percent less of the costly catalyst material.

Researchers have harnessed the energy generated by heavy machines, and used it to cut their fuel consumption by half.
