- The structure of water: Entropy determines whether ions stick
Water molecules are constantly in motion, but on average they can form preferred patterns of order. TU Wien has now shown that this has a major influence on charged particles, for example in electr...
- New method enables direct measurement of partial charges in molecules
An international research team led by the University of Vienna has succeeded in developing a new method to directly measure partial charges in molecules. The results, now published in Nature, p... - A new microscope for ultra-sensitive samples
How can you produce the best possible image in a microscope without destroying the sample? A new trick enables gentle imaging with maximum image quality. Everyone who ever took a photo knows th... - Sustainable foams: Cellulose instead of crude oil
Foams have numerous possible potential applications, for example ranging from the automotive, household and mechanical engineering sectors to leisure and sports applications. Until now, it has been... - New hope against superbugs: Promising antibiotic candidate discovered
An international team of researchers, led by the University of Vienna and the Helmholtz Institute for Pharmaceutical Research Saarland, has discovered saarvienin A, a new type of glycopeptide antib... - Novel antibiotic activates an existing "suicide" mechanism in gonococci
The increase of microbes resistant to antibiotics is a growing problem. These include, for example, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, a bacterium which causes gonorrhea. Researchers from the universities in K...
- Nanoplastics can reduce the effectiveness of antibiotics
In a recent study, an international research team with significant involvement from MedUni Vienna has investigated how nanoplastic particles deposited in the body affect the effectiveness of antibi... - 20 years of microplastics research: time to act
Science has provided more than enough evidence to develop a collective and global approach to tackle the proliferation of plastic pollution. This is the conclusion of an international research team... - Detailed structure of the aluminum oxide surface uncovered
Aluminum oxide, also known as alumina, corundum, sapphire, or ruby, is one of the best insulators used in a wide range of applications: in electronic components, as a support material for catalysts... - The Next Generation of RNA Chips
An international research team led by the University of Vienna has succeeded in developing a new version of RNA building blocks with higher chemical reactivity and photosensitivity. This can signif... - Uptake of tire wear additives by vegetables grown for human consumption
Car tires contain hundreds of chemical additives that can leach out of them. This is how they end up in crops and subsequently in the food chain. Researchers at the Center for Microbiology and Envi... - Rethinking the chemistry of cations
A team of chemists from the University of Vienna, led by Nuno Maulide, has achieved a significant breakthrough in the field of chemical synthesis, developing a novel method for manipulating carbon-... - Global warming increases the diversity of active soil bacteria
Warmer soils harbour a greater diversity of active microbes, according to a new study from researchers at the Centre for Microbiology and Environmental Systems Science (CeMESS) at the University of... - How microplastic travels that far
How far microplastics travel in the atmosphere depends crucially on particle shape, according to a recent study by scientists at the University of Vienna and the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics a...
- New Invention for more Efficient Atomic Force Microscopes
Tiny tips on cantilevers are used to scan a surface in an atomic force microscope. A new invention from TU Wien now provides a simpler way to measure the result. The basic principle of the atomi...
- Adaptive imaging technique for materials science and structural biology
A new technique that combines electron microscopy and laser technology enables programmable, arbitrary shaping of electron beams. It can potentially be used for optimizing electron optics and for a... - New research project analyses pollution of European rivers
A new study analyses river pollution in Europe: In the most extensive study of its kind, international researchers including EDGE member Thilo Hofmann and his team are tracing pharmaceuticals in se...
- New state of matter: crystalline and flowing at the same time
More than 20 years ago, researchers predicted that with sufficiently high density certain particles of matter would form a new state of matter that features the properties of both crystalline solid... - Eco-friendly process for synthesizing organic materials for high-performance materials industry
Until now, the production of materials from organic substances was only possible with the use of highly toxic solvents. A team led by chemist Miriam Unterlass, Professor at the University of Konsta... - Symbionts sans frontieres: Bacterial partners travel the world
This pandemic year has seen us confined to our homes and restricted from travelling the world. Not so for some microscopic bacteria in the ocean: Throughout the globe, they partner up with clams fr... - Crystalline supermirrors for trace gas detection
In an international cooperation with partners from industry and research, physicists from the University of Vienna, together with Thorlabs, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)...
- Environmental exposures affect therapeutic drugs
Humans are exposed to various environmental or dietary molecules that can attenuate or even increase the effect of therapeutic drugs. Studies on the industrial chemical bisphenol A and the phytoest... - Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2020 for the development of CRISPR Cas9 technology
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has awarded this year's Nobel Prize in Chemistry to Prof. Dr. Emmanuelle Charpentier, Scientific and Managing Director of the newly established Max Planck Unit... - Leather-like material biofabrication using fungi
Leather is used as a durable and flexible material in many aspects of everyday life including furniture and clothing. Leather substitutes derived from fungi are considered to be an ethical and envi... - Evidence of more elementary particles in the nucleus of an atom
In the nucleus of an atom there are protons and neutrons. These are made up of elementary particles, specifically three quarks in each one. You can read about this in current physics textbooks - bu...
