Based on the measurements, exposure levels may at times be several times higher than those measured in busy urban areas.Fri, 06 Nov 2026 11:34:09 +000075172 https://tuni.fi/en/tau/news-and-events/researchers-uncover-new-way-cells-respond-physical-forcesA newly published study is changing our understanding of how the protein talin functions at sites where cells attach to their surroundings. The findings uncover a previously unknown mechanism by which mechanical force regulates talin, a key protein controlling cell adhesion and mechanosensing.Thu, 05 Nov 2026 11:55:21 +000075245 https://tuni.fi/en/tamk/news-and-events/consumers-want-responsible-choices-be-easy-packaging-sector-seeks-solutionsMore circular and more sustainable packaging solutions need to be easy to use, functional, and suited to consumers everyday lives. However, many of the choices available to consumers are determined long before a product reaches the store's shelf. In a joint ResPa and Biopak project workshop, Finnish packaging sector stakeholders explored how recycling, reuse and more responsible choices could become a genuinely easy part of everyday life.Thu, 05 Nov 2026 06:57:01 +000075223 https://tuni.fi/en/tau/news-and-events/new-approach-study-food-purchases-shows-behaviours-are-surprisingly-stableFinns change their food purchases less over time than many might think. A new study shows that their monthtomonth food purchase behaviours are mainly very stable. However, there are clear variations in the purchasing behaviours of different population groups. The researchers used an analytical method that provided a novel and more precise way for identifying and describing longterm changes in food purchase behaviours.Wed, 04 Nov 2026 08:45:30 +000074365 https://tuni.fi/en/tamk/news-and-events/ukrainian-unbroken-hospital-and-tamk-build-long-term-research-and-developmentUNBROKEN has become one of Ukraines key centers for rehabilitation, surgical care, mental health services and prosthetic rehabilitation. A Ukrainian delegation visiting Tampere University of Applied Sciences TAMK sought new opportunities for cooperation in research, education and development. The discussions identified several areas of common interest, ranging from mental health and rehabilitation to research.Thu, 29 Oct 2026 14:06:20 +000074983 https://tuni.fi/en/tau/news-and-events/new-experimental-research-hub-brings-together-research-expertise-across-tampereIt has taken thousands of meetings and hundreds of codevelopers to make the largest research investment in the history of Tampere University a reality. The laboratory facilities housed within the new experimental research hub on the Hervanta campus, comprising the renovated Sähkötalo building and the adjacent new Noodi building, have been designed in collaboration with users to support their core activities. The result is the culmination of thousands of ideas and insights, providing stateoftheart facilities for multidisciplinary research.Fri, 30 Oct 2026 09:26:37 +000075075 https://tuni.fi/en/tau/news-and-events/material-properties-can-now-be-studied-realistic-hydrogen-environmentTampere University's OperaRI is a unique operando research infrastructure for the study of energy materials and systems.
