- Single atoms as a catalyst: Surprising effects ensue
For years, the metal nanoparticles used in catalysts have been getting smaller and smaller. Now, a research team at TU Wien in Vienna, Austria have shown that everything is suddenly different when ... - Tracking down the tiniest of forces: how T cells detect invaders
T-cells play a central role in our immune system: by means of their so-called T-cell receptors (TCR) they make out dangerous invaders or cancer cells in the body and then trigger an immune reaction... - Superconductors. an allegedly sensational effect does not exist at all
A single measurement result is not a proof - this has been shown again and again in science. We can only really rely on a research result when it has been measured several times, preferably by diff... - 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...
- Laser technology: New trick for infrared laser pulses
Infrared light can be used to detect molecules - but it is hard to create strong, short laser pulses. A new solution was found at TU Wien. Ordinary solid-state lasers, as used in laser pointers...
- Superconduction: Why does it have to be so cold?
Currently, there is no precise computation method to describe superconducting materials. TU Wien has now made a major advance towards achieving this goal and, at the same time, has furthered an und... - Measuring the Laws of Nature
A physical constant, which is of great importance for basic research, has now be re-measured, with much higher precision than ever before. There are some numerical values that define the basic p... - Bioprinting: Living cells in a 3D printer
With a new process developed at TU Wien (Vienna), living cells can be integrated into fine structures created in a 3D printer - extremely fast and with very high resolution. Tissue growth and th...
- Producing high quality images of individual atoms
It is one of the most accurate measurement instruments available today: the high-performance microscope at the Institute of Applied Physics of TU Wien acquires images of individual atoms by moving ... - Amazing synthesis method for high-tech dyes
Dyes that are also of great interest for organic electronics have recently been prepared and crystallised at TU Wien. All that is required is just water, albeit under highly unusual conditions. ...
- New polymers for creating artificial blood vessels
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. Togethe...
