Nanoscience Center news

Researchers have shown that DNA viruses infect cells and take over the host cell nucleus induce dramatic structural modifications. The study sheds new light on the virus-induced fundamental nuclear remodeling.

The exhibition opens new opportunities for science education and partnerships at the University of Jyväskylä. The exhibition focuses particularly on the themes of energy, sustainability, and climate.

Neste is making donations to three Finnish universities. This funding is intended to foster groundbreaking catalysis research

The results of Marjo Haapakoski's doctoral thesis offer new possibilities for antiviral solutions based on plant-derived ingredients in a wide range of everyday and healthcare applications. Haapakoski defends 30.1.2026.

Researchers realized long-sought two-dimensional topological material. The work was led by Associate Professor Kezilbeiek Shawulienu and carried out in collaboration with colleagues from Aalto University.

Ilia Sokolovskii has won the shared Gust. Kompan Prize for his 2024 doctoral thesis in chemistry. Sokolovskii developed a multiscale molecular dynamics model, which helps us understand how energy transfer in organic materials can be improved.

Researchers at the Nanoscience Center of the University of Jyväskylä develop the first generalisable model to predict protein binding on gold nanoclusters, opening new possibilities for designing next-generation biomedical nanomaterials.

the University of Jyväskylä has established a new profiling area that focuses on nanotechnology quantum simulations and measurements.

The results of the Johannes Parikka’s dissertation work are important for DNA origami lattice fabrication on silicon and thus also for photonics, since it enables metallization of the structures by DNA-assisted lithography. Parikka defends on 19.12.2025.

Researchers at the University of Jyväskylä have discovered a simple way to program synthetic molecules so they can form specific spiral-like structures by embedding instructions directly into their sequence.

The Doctoral Researcher Hanan Ibrahim investigated in her dissertation a range of surface reactions on metal-based surfaces using first-principles calculations. Ibrahim will defend on Wednesday 10.12.2025.

The aim of our researcher of the Nanoscience Center was to use a large-scale computational approach to conduct a systematic, microscopic analysis of metallene interfaces to discover the fundamental design principles for greater stability.
