- New AI method revolutionises the design of enzymes
Researchers at TU Graz and the University of Graz can use the technology to construct artificial biocatalysts. These new enzymes are significantly faster, more stable and more versatile than previo... - Coffee as a Staining Agent Substitute in Electron Microscopy
To ensure that the tissue structures of biological samples are easily recognisable under the electron microscope, they are treated with a staining agent. The standard staining agent for this is ura...
- Determine and eliminate microplastics in the inflow and outflow of wastewater treatment plants
The danger of microplastics for the environment and health has become increasingly recognised in recent years. They enter the water cycle via wastewater from households and rainwater discharged fro... - Sustainable plastics from plants
TU Graz is coordinating the European B3PO Doctoral Network, which is developing innovative materials from plant by-products. The EU has supplied funding of EUR 4.3 million for the project. As a... - Nano plastic in the roots of wheat plants
Microplastics and nanoplastics in soils are a growing environmental problem. The extent to which agricultural crops absorb these particles and whether they end up in food has so far been difficult ... - 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... - How chemical bonds are formed: Physicists observe energy flow in real time
A new method combines helium droplets with ultrashort laser pulses to initiate chemical processes in a controlled manner. This provides insights into the transfer of energy and charge during the fo... - Microporous crystals for greater food safety
A research team led by Paolo Falcaro has developed a microporous crystal compound that signals whether protein-rich foods are spoilt. The ERC grant is now being used to explore practical applicatio...
- 'Tiny Biome Tales': Playing a Game to Understand the Human Microbiome
Countless microorganisms live on and in the human body - including viruses, bacteria and fungi. Together, they weigh two kilograms and are essential for our health: they support our immune system, ... - New method for analysing nanoporous materials
Using only a single electron microscope image, researchers at TU Graz can determine the type and exact position of so-called guest atoms in high-tech materials. They also come closer to solving the...
- The Microbiome of Fruit and Vegetables Positively Influences Diversity in the Gut
In a meta-study, a research team from the Institute of Environmental Biotechnology at TU Graz has provided evidence that the consumption of fruit and vegetables contributes positively to bacterial ... - On-off switch for enzymes
Researchers at TU Graz have gained new insights into the functioning of a protein found in bacteria, whose enzymatic activity is activated by blue light. Light affects living organisms in many diff... - Biocatalysis unlocks sustainable pseudouridine production for mRNA vaccines
mRNA vaccines gained widespread notoriety for their revolutionary power in combating the Corona pandemic. But behind the scenes, a silent hero called pseudouridine plays a crucial role in maximisin...
- It takes some heat to form ice
Researchers from Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) and the Universities of Cambridge and Surrey succeeded to track down the first step in ice formation at a surface, revealing that additional...
- Environmentally friendly supercapacitors
Similar to batteries, supercapacitors are suitable for the repeated storage of electrical energy. TU Graz researchers have presented a particularly safe and sustainable variant of such a supercapac...
- Optimizing of alloy materials: Diffusion processes in nano particles decoded
Aluminium alloys have unique material properties and are indispensable materials in aircraft manufacturing and space technology. With the help of high-resolution electron tomography, researchers at...
- "Water Battery": Charging H2O by means of a water bridge
Together with the Wetsus research centre in The Netherlands, researchers of TU Graz have managed to produce electrically charged water by means of a floating water bridge. Until its scientific r...
