New experiments have shown that it is possible for extremely high currents to pass through graphene, a form of carbon.

How does Nikola Tesla's spirit of research live on at TU Graz? We plug into today's high-powered research subjects at the Institute of High Voltage Engineering and System Performance.

How do hybrid vehicles become more powerful and at the same time cheaper? TU Graz's Martin Hofstetter is developing software which delivers practical answers.

Pumped-storage hydro power plants store electrical power efficiently and feed it into the grid seconds later.

The reduction of Europe's dependency on importing energy and the achievement of the two-degree target of the recent world climate conference in Paris need drastic measures.

There are a lot of tiny living organisms in the dark ocean. Imagine their habitat, it is completely different from ours! During this cruise I am measuring the activity of microorganisms using a device called the In Situ Microbial Incubator or ISMI in short.

In the future, a large part of our energy needs could be covered by nuclear fusion. TU Graz is a hotspot for research into fusion in Austria.

An optical device at nanoscale which allows light to pass in only one direction has been developed at TU Wien (Vienna).

A new material could open the door to a new kind of electronics: researchers at the Vienna University of Technology have created a stable two-dimensional electron gas in strontium titanate.

A consortium of seven European partners develops a highly cognitive underwater robotic system to enable symbiotic links between a human diver and a set of companion autonomous robots to interpret and adapt the diver's behavior and physical state.

Disorder turns into order: scientists at the Vienna University of Technology can show how intricate structures can emerge from inhomogeneously charged particles.

The remarkable material graphene promises a wide range of applications in future electronics that could complement or replace traditional silicon technology. Researchers of the Electronic Properties of Materials Group at the University of Vienna have now paved the way for the integration of graphene into the current silicide based technology.

TU Vienna has managed to turn the oscillation direction of beams of light - simply by applying an electrical current to a special material.
