The answer is yes, though it only applies to the most elusive kind of elementary particles. A recent PhD thesis in University of Jyväskylä finds that the properties of the ghost-like particles, the so-called neutrinos, can be studied at a high precision in the next generation of accelerator-based experiments.
The primary aim of modern biorefinery studies is to develop more selective and environmentally friendly processes for the efficient conversion of lignocellosic materials into value-added products for industrial chemicals.

Partial replacement of fishmeal and imported protein sources is possible. The complete plant-based diet decreases the growth of the rainbow trout significantly, but the vegan diet did not affect their oxygen consumption and swimming ability.
Many wood-inhabiting fungi suffer from the changes caused by forest management. For that reason, the different fungal groups and tree species should be better addressed in the conservation planning. New information about the wood-inhabiting fungi of boreal forest helps to assess the effects of forest management more precisely than before.

Molecules isolated from natural sources have a wide range of biological effects: caffeine in coffee gives you an energy boost, morphine from poppy seeds alleviates pain, and muscarine in fly agarics is a dangerous poison. In order to study and apply such natural products as medicine, we have to synthesize them in the laboratory.

The latest dissertation of Physics gives important information to the nano-electronic and nano-biotechnology. The flexible transparent conductive thin films (TCFs) could use new complex of the environmental friendly hemisellulose with carbon nanotube. It could use in next generation flexible touch screen. In addition the found of functionality of chi-avidin could be used in biosensors.

The multilateral and complex relationships of freshwater pearl mussel (FPM), salmonids and other co-infectants can influence potentially in the conservation of FPM. The human impacts – habitats degradation, loss of host fish, siltation, pollution, and overexploitation affect a considerable decline of this species.
A new PhD thesis in the University of Jyväskylä shows how utilizing tellurium as a detector material can help detect dark matter more effectively than currently used materials. The research also lays a foundation for differentiating between collisions caused by dark matter and neutrinos, the so-called ghost particles, in dark matter detectors using xenon.
