Information in the Internet is ephemeral; links often don't work after several years. Computer scientists from Innsbruck are now working on a solution to that problem for linked data.

A completely autonomous quadcopter has been designed at the Vienna University of Technology. All the required computing power is provided by an off-the-shelf smartphone.

Cars that consciously interact with their environment and help to prevent accidents and traffic jams have been envisioned since a long time.

Tiny crystals exhibit unexpected properties. Researchers from the Vienna University of Technology and the S.N. Bose National Centre Kolkata can now explain why.

The Austrian research group led by physicist Rainer Blatt suggests a fundamentally novel architecture for quantum computation. They have experimentally demonstrated quantum antennae, which enable the exchange of quantum information between two separate memory cells located on a computer chip. This offers new opportunities to build practical quantum computers.
