wire - kurze nachrichten

TU Wien has entered the Guinness Book of Records together with its industry partner Cerabyte - for producing and successfully reading the smallest QR codes ever created.

A new ERC Proof of Concept Grant now enables the team led by Jörg Schmiedmayer to develop a prototype for an entirely new quantum technology.

At TU Wien, researchers have discovered a state in a quantum material that had previously been considered impossible.

Researchers from the University of Innsbruck, the Collège de France, and the Université Libre de Bruxelles have developed a simple yet powerful method to reveal anyons-exotic quantum particles that are neither bosons nor fermions-in one-dimensional systems.

The University of Innsbruck is coordinating a new FWF special research area on the dark universe, which seeks answers to the biggest questions in modern cosmology.

At TU Wien, researchers have created a one-dimensional "quantum wire" made from a gas of ultracold atoms, where mass and energy flow without friction or loss. In physical systems, transport takes many forms, such as electric current through a wire, heat through metal, or even water through a pipe. Each of these flows can be described by how easily the underlying quantity-charge, energy, or mass-moves through a material.

An important step toward visual prostheses: biocompatible electrodes can convert infrared light into nerve impulses, as demonstrated by a team at TU Wien.

How can we best explain complex quantum systems? By using quantum systems that are easier to handle.

A solution to a tricky groundwater riddle from Australia: Researchers at TU Wien have developed numerical models to simulate the movement of fluids in porous materials.

A new revolution from metallurgy to materials science: A research team led by Assistant Professor Matheus A. Tunes from the [X-MAT] - Laboratory for Metallurgy in Extreme Environments at the C

By combining physics-based methods with machine learning, a team at the Institute of Thermodynamics and Sustainable Propulsion Systems at TU Graz is developing models that deliver better results despite less training data.

What exactly happens when syngas is produced? New methods allow to observe the process in real time. This answered the question how catalysts work in detail. For many industrial applications one needs synthesis gas, also known as -Syngas-, a mixture of hydrogen (H2) and carbon monoxiode (CO). In addition to the established production method via steam reforming, synthesis gas can alternatively-and even more energy-efficiently-be produced from methane (CH₄) and oxygen.

The scalar magnetometer conceived by Roland Lammegger and Christoph Amtmann at the Institute of Experimental Physics at TU Graz opens up new possibilities in magnetic field measurement thanks to its further development.

An astonishing world record has been set at ETH Zurich with support from TU Wien: glass particles reveal their quantum properties - without having to be brought to extremely low temperatures, as was previously the case.

A team at Harvard and TU Wien have invented a new tunable laser that uses a series of rings to smoothly emit many light wavelengths from a single chip.

100 years of a theory that changed physics echoed in wide quantum diversity at ISTA 2025 marks the 100 jubilee of quantum mechanics. Despite its young age, the fast-growing and highly interdisciplinary Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) is advancing broadly diverse areas of quantum research.

A surprising effect was discovered through a collaborative effort by researchers from TU Wien and institutions in Croatia, France, Poland, Singapore, Switzerland, and the US during the investigation

Innsbruck physicists have presented a new architecture for improved quantum control of microwave resonators.

The nanomaterial MXene is used for battery technology or as a high-performance lubricant. Until now, its production was difficult and toxic.

How should buildings be arranged so that my home can be ventilated naturally? Christoph Irrenfried and the Institute of Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer investigate this question.

ISTA PhD candidate spearheads efforts in tailoring algorithms to quantum hardware Quantum computing remains a research endeavor, explained the Physics Nobel Laureate Frank Wilczek earlier this year, contextualizing the widespread industry aspirations to enter markets.

By combining organic and inorganic chemistry, scientists at TU Wien developed the innovative lubricant COK-47 - with remarkable capabilities.

TU Wien, the University of Innsbruck and the company qtlabs are working together on a major FFG-funded A millennia-old problem will finally be solved: ever since humans have been sending messages, people have been trying to keep these messages secret.

Is there only one optimal configuration an organism can reach during evolution? Is there a single formula that describes the trajectory towards the optimum? And can we 'derive' it in a purely theoretical fashion? A team of researchers, including from the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA), has answers.

An interdisciplinary research group at TU Graz is working on constructing logic circuits through the targeted arrangement of individual molecules.
