Florian Glöcklhofer: New class of molecules for better charge transport
INTERCHAIN project receives prestigious ERC Starting Grant.
Marco De Paoli: Flows in evolving porous materials
From heat storage and underground CO2 sequestration to the physics of ocean ice: for many phenomena, it is important to understand how fluids flow through (and shape) porous materials. Suppose a large amount of CO2 is pumped deep into the ground so that it is kept out of the atmosphere and does not harm the climate.
The World’s First Nuclear Clock
Atomic clocks have been used for decades - but now, even greater precision has become possible: TU Wien (Vienna) and JILA/NIST are presenting the world's first nuclear clock.
A language that humans and computers understand
In the EU project OntoTrans, coordinated by TU Wien, researchers have designed an application that contributes to the development of better materials. Here, semantic technologies play a central role.
The magnet trick: New invention makes vibrations disappear
TU Wien (Vienna) has patented a completely new method of dampening vibrations. This is an important step for precision devices such as high-performance astronomical telescopes.
Neutrons on classically inexplicable paths
Is nature really as strange as quantum theory says - or are there simpler explanations? Neutron measurements at TU Wien prove: It doesn't work without the strange properties of quantum theory.
What waves know about their environment
Waves carry information about their surroundings. An exact theory has now been developed at TU Wien - with astonishing results that can be used for technical purposes.
The mobility turnaround can be learned
Insights into the Executive MBA Mobility Transformation of the TU Wien Academy
Esther Heid: Artificial intelligence for chemical reactions
In future, neural networks will help predict and improve chemical reactions. This could lead to major advances, particularly for new, more environmentally friendly synthesis methods.
Understanding microplastics - with high-speed cameras
How microplastic particles disperse in the ocean depends on microscopic details. Scientists at TU Wien have now succeeded in precisely characterising the motion of these particles.
Artificial intelligence with guaranteed safety and fairness
Many decisions are being made by neural networks. But are they rational and fair? Methods to ensure this are being developed at TU Wien.
A Time Crystal Made of Giant Atoms
Researchers from TU Wien (Vienna, Austria) and Tsinghua University (Beijing, China) have created an extremely exotic state of matter. Its atoms have a diameter a hundred times larger than usual.
Customised Thermal Radiation
Normally, thermal radiation is a product of randomness, described by the laws of statistical physics.
ERC Advanced grant for Matteo Maffei: Guaranteed Security for Blockchains
Prof. Matteo Mattei has been awarded an ERC grant for his research into the security aspects of blockchain technologies. It is already his second.
Do Machines See Like we do?
Researchers at TU Wien have investigated how an artificial intelligence categorizes images. The results show astonishing similarities to visual systems in nature.
