An important breakthrough in transistor technology has been achieved at TU Wien: With the help of novel insulators, high-quality transistors can be produced using two-dimensional materials.... Read more
Algae could become an important resource in the future, if you understand the chemistry behind it. With the participation of TU Wien, researchers have now decoded how algae biomass is degrad... Read more
New findings are changing the way we think about superconductivity. Experiments at TU Wien (Vienna) underline the special role of immobile charge carriers, acting as a “glue”, which makes su... Read more
In an industrial collaboration project, TU Wien has developed a medication that can alleviate or even completely eliminate the symptoms of celiac disease. It should be available as early as... Read more
EPFL researchers have found a way to make materials that are normally opaque to sound waves completely transparent. Their system involves placing acoustic relays at strategic locations so th... Read more
How can quantum information be transferred from one atom to another? A team of researchers from TU Wien and Harvard University has proposed using phonons – the quanta of sound. Quantum physi... Read more
Is it a computer program or a living being? At TU Wien (Vienna), the boundaries become blurred. The neural system of a nematode was translated into computer code – and then the virtual worm... Read more
Dye synthesis in nothing but water instead of toxic solvents – researchers at TU Wien develop a highly efficient and environmentally friendly synthesis for organic pigments. Perylene bisimid... Read more
A laser and detector in one: a microscopic sensor has been developed at TU Wien, which can be used to identify different gases simultaneously. As humans, we sniff out different scents and ar... Read more
When rain falls on a lotus leaf, the leaf doesn’t get wet. Thanks to its special structure, the water drops roll off without wetting the surface. Artificial materials can be made water... Read more
With a mobile data collection app and satellite data, scientists will be able to predict whether a certain region is vulnerable to food shortages and malnutrition. The method has now been te... Read more
TU Wien (Vienna) and TriLite Technologies present a new prototype for a 3D display which can be used without 3D glasses – just in time for the “Back to the Future Day” on October 21st, 2015... Read more
Blocked blood vessels can quickly become dangerous. It is often necessary to replace a blood vessel—either by another vessel taken from the body or even by artificial vascular prostheses. To... Read more
Monitoring Europe’s vast nature protection areas used to be extremely difficult. Thanks to computer algorithms developed at the Vienna University of Technology, this can now be done using ai... Read more
