Record-breaking Terahertz Laser Beam
22-Jan-2020
A new, extremely efficient source of terahertz radiation has been developed at TU Wien (Vienna): Lasers turn air into plasma, thereby producing terahertz rays for many possible applications. Terahertz radiation is used for security checks at airports, for medical examinations and also for quality ...
A new look at 'strange metals'
20-Jan-2020
For years, a new synthesis method has been developed at TU Wien (Vienna) to unlock the secrets of "strange metals". Now a breakthrough has been achieved. Superconductors allow electrical current to flow without any resistance - but only below a certain critical temperature. Many materials have to ...
ALPLA joins cross-industry consortium for chemical recycling
Innovative technology enables circularity for difficult-to-recycle PET plastic waste
02-Jan-2020
ALPLA Group joins a new consortium for chemical recycling of PET. The consortium intends to speed up the commercialisation of enhanced recycling technology, BP Infinia, which turns opaque and difficult-to-recycle PET plastic waste into recycled feedstocks.Leading companies operating across the ...
New Material Breaks World Record Turning Heat into Electricity
15-Nov-2019
A new type of material generates electrical current very efficiently from temperature differences. This allows sensors and small processors to supply themselves with energy wirelessly. Thermoelectric materials can convert heat into electrical energy. This is due to the so-called Seebeck effect: ...
Researchers develop new 3D printing for the direct production of nanostructures
14-Nov-2019
A team from Graz University of Technology succeeded in using the FEBID method to produce complex 3D-printed nano-components for the first time without additional support structures. In the nanometer range, complex, free-standing 3D architectures are very difficult to produce in a single step due ...
Atomic images reveal unusually many neighbors for some oxygen atoms
22-Oct-2019
The identification of new chemical bonds is crucial for the design of new material structures. A team led by Jani Kotakoski at the University of Vienna and Jannik Meyer at the University of Tübingen has found unexpected new configurations of oxygen and nitrogen in graphene. Direct images of the ...
Solving the Mystery of Quantum Light in Thin Layers
17-Oct-2019
A very special kind of light is emitted by tungsten diselenide layers. The reason for this has been unclear. Now an explanation has been found at TU Wien (Vienna). It is an exotic phenomenon that nobody was able to explain for years: when energy is supplied to a thin layer of the material ...
Material Scientist wins European Science Slam Championship
Aniruddha Dutta, doctoral student at the Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung, wins championship in Vienna
07-Oct-2019
Aniruddha Dutta, doctoral student at the Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung (MPIE) in Düsseldorf and acting German science slam champion 2018/19, has won the European Science Slam Championship 2019/20 against his competitors from Austria, Switzerland, Sweden, Slovakia, Slovenia, the Czech ...
The fast dance of electron spins
Chemists investigate the interactions of metal complexes and light
07-Oct-2019
Metal complexes show a fascinating behavior in their interactions with light, which for example is utilized in organic light emitting diodes, solar cells, quantum computers, or even in cancer therapy. In many of these applications, the electron spin, a kind of inherent rotation of the electrons, ...
2000 atoms in two places at once
A new record of quantum superposition
30-Sep-2019
The quantum superposition principle has been tested on a scale as never before in a new study by scientists at the University of Vienna in collaboration with the University of Basel. Hot, complex molecules composed of nearly two thousand atoms were brought into a quantum superposition and made to ...
