Mika and Ari wrote about inorganic chemistry in a local newspaper
Turun Sanomat, the biggest local newspaper in the Turku area, has a popular science-related article series called Aliot. Mika and Ari wrote about inorganic chemistry in a manner that everyday reader can grasp.
The writing is themed Even inorganic is organic – sustainable development with new materials, and it is available here (only in Finnish):
Natural hackmanite paper spreads everywhere
It seems that the natural hackmanite article published in Chemistry of Materials has spread wider than we could ever imagine. It has now been found in 17 different sources from 5 different language regions throughout the world, and there will probably be even more during the coming months.

IMC’s hackmanite research gets country-wide attention in two major newspapers
We wrote a press release based on our hackmanite research article in the high-impact Chemistry of Materials journal. The news was published on University of Turku’s website, and it spread instantly to Finland’s biggest newspaper Helsingin Sanomat and also to a Turku-based newspaper Aamuset:
Tutkijat selvittivät, miksi luonnonkivi loistaa pimeässä – Hackmaniitin ytimessä hehkuu titaani – Helsingin Sanomat 23/10/2020
Pimeässä loistavan luonnonkiven salaisuus selvisi tuoreessa tutkimuksessa – Aamuset 23/10/2020
IMC theme song video!
To celebrate the five-year anniversary of Inorganic Materials Chemistry group at the University of Turku – and to pass the time during these social distancing times – we created the IMC theme song. The current IMC group and alumni joined forces to bring you joy in the darkening autumn of Finland. Enjoy! Warning: flashy lights and fast images!
Newspaper article: IMC face masks
Turun Sanomat, the biggest local newspaper, asked for photos of readers’ face masks. We saw an opportunity there to show our new face masks with our logo on them:
