Researchers from the University of Jyväskylä presents and evaluates current computational methods from electronic structure simulations to reaction kinetics modeling. The key finding is that a comprehensive understanding of catalytic reactions.

Research at the University of Jyväskylä investigate how the thinning of the mucous membranes and, on the other hand, increased mucus production affect the protection provided by phages as well as the interaction between phages and antibiotics.

Construction of the new laboratory facilities of the Department of Chemistry in the YAD wing of the Ambiotica building is on schedule, with the facilities expected to be in University’s use on 21 August 2026.

From August 2026, the The Department of Mathematics and Statistics will be located on the third and fourth floors of the B wing of the Agora building. Teaching will mainly take place on the Mattilanniemi and Ylistönrinne campuses close to Agora.

The University of Jyväskylä was awarded three research grants from the highly competitive EU Marie Skłodowska-Curie program. The funding will enable distinguished international researchers to begin their projects at the University of Jyväskylä.

Doctoral Researcher Janne Yliharju studied whether three-dimensional dual-energy X-ray imaging can be used to monitor water movement in bentonite clay. This study improves the understanding of the performance of this method through a concrete example.

The University of Jyväskylä’s role in the consortium is based on its strong expertise in silicon-based quantum technologies and advanced measurement methods. The project’s total budget is 50 million euros.

Researchers from the University of Jyväskylä and Aalto University have developed a method that can be used to grow organometallic materials in an area-selective manner. This creates enormous opportunities to modify the properties of materials.

An extensive computational study examined nearly a hundred different combinations of clusters and biomolecules, the atomic structure of which was simulated using molecular dynamics. The research was published in the prestigious journal ACS Nano.

JYU researchers have developed a new approach, the constant inner potential density functional theory, which enables the inclusion of the electrode potential in the simulation of semiconductor electrochemistry.

Researchers from the University of Jyväskylä have developed new receptors which binding sulfate more than a thousand times more strongly than most existing receptors in pure water.
