- Real-time monitoring of biomineralisation as an important process of bone formation
21st century societal challenges such as demographic developments and an ageing population demand for new functional materials, such as for bone prostheses. Nature often serves as inspiration when ... - News software to characterise 60 lipid classes in cells with mass spectrometry
Researchers increasingly aim at utilising the manifold functions of lipids in our bodies, e.g. as blood fats or in blood coagulation, to better understand and predict diseases. An international ... - Atomic fingerprint identifies emission sources of uranium
Uranium is not always the same: depending on whether this chemical element is released by the civil nuclear industry or as fallout from nuclear weapon tests, the ratio of the two anthropogenic, i.e... - A new form of glass through molecular entanglement
Physicists at the University of Vienna in collaboration with the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research have discovered a new type of glass formed by long, cyclic molecules. The scientists succe...
- How do atoms vibrate in graphene nanostructures?
In order to understand advanced materials like graphene nanostructures and optimize them for devices in nano-, opto- and quantum-technology it is crucial to understand how phonons - the vibration o... - Atomic motion captured on-the-fly by machine learning
Physicists of the University of Vienna publish findings on the phase transitions of hybrid perovskites that have the potential to serve as novel solar cell materials. At the atomic scale materia... - How to separate nanoparticles by "shape"
In our daily lives, the purpose and function of an item is defined by either its material, e.g. a rain jacket is fabricated of water-proof material, or its shape, e.g. a wheel is round to enable a ... - Replacing hydrogen with fluorine in organic molecules
The development and improvement of pharmaceuticals plays the central role in the ongoing battle against human disease. Organic synthesis is the field that enables these developments as it offers th...
- RNA Microchips - a new chapter in ribonucleic acid synthesis
Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is, along with DNA and protein, one of the three primary biological macromolecules and was probably the first to arise in early life forms. In the "RNA world" hypothesis, RNA... - Measuring the precise duration of the photoelectric response for the first time
Modern global networks of communication, solar power generation and distribution, and materials science are ultimately based on the photoelectric effect. More than a century after Albert Einstein e... - Manipulating single atoms with an electron beam
All matter is composed of atoms, which are too small to see without powerful modern instruments including electron microscopes. The same electrons that form images of atomic structures can also be ...
- Microbes leave 'fingerprints' on Martian rocks
Scientists around Tetyana Milojevic from the Faculty of Chemistry at the University of Vienna are in search of unique biosignatures, which are left on synthetic extraterrestrial minerals by microbi... - Neural networks carry out chemical simulations in record time
Researchers at the Universities of Vienna and Göttingen have succeeded in developing a method for predicting molecular infrared spectra based on artificial intelligence. These chemical "fingerprint... - A new tool to decipher evolutionary biology
A new bioinformatics tool to compare genome data has been developed by teams from the Max F. Perutz Laboratories, a joint venture of the University of Vienna and the Medical University of Vienna, t... - Protein crystals - a manifold substance class for biological and pharmaceutical applications
Annette Rompel and her team of the Department of Biophysical Chemistry at the University of Vienna are investigating so-called polyoxometalates. These compounds exhibit a great diversity and offer ...
- How water gets its exceptional properties - New simulation method
Water is liquid at room temperature - astounding for such a small molecule. Insights into the causes are provided by a new simulation method, which has its origins in brain research. Using artif... - Better method of crystal production developed
Be it in phyics, metallurgy, gemology or engineering, the applications of crystals are very broad. A research team including Christos Likos and Lorenzo Rovigatti from the Faculty of Physics of the ... - Direct proof of stable ultra-long 1D carbon chains as a route to carbyne
Elemental carbon appears in many different forms, including diamond and graphite. Their unique structural, electrical and optical properties have a broad range of potential applications in composit...
- Detection of nano silicon dioxide in tomato soup using MALS-ICP-MS
In a joint project with researchers from the University of Vienna (Austria) and the Technical University of Denmark, JRC scientists developed a suitable analytical approach for the detection of sil... - Relativity theory also applicable in other research areas
Einstein's theory of time and space will celebrate its 100th anniversary this year. Even today it captures the imagination of scientists. In an international collaboration, researchers from the Uni...
- New mass spectrometric method could revolutionize breast cancer treatment
Stroma cells are derived from connective tissue and may critically influence tumour growth. This knowledge is not new. However, bioanalyst Christopher Gerner and an interdisciplinary team from the ... - Moving silicon atoms in graphene with atomic precision
In recent years, it has become possible to see directly individual atoms using electron microscopy - especially in graphene, the one-atom-thick sheet of carbon. An international collaboration betwe... - Explored mode of action of tyrosinase
The research team of Annette Rompel from the Institute for Biophysical Chemistry, University of Vienna explore the mechanisms behind the "browning reaction" during the spoilage of mushrooms. The re... - Computer simulations visualize ion flux
