Students at the University of Innsbruck now have access to UNIverse: a cloud platform to facilitate collaboration in groups. UNIverse can be used to save and share files in the cloud, and also offers functions for chats, video calls and project planning.

Together with a team in China a team at TU Wien extends the capabilities of quantum computers: Instead of combinations of 0s and 1s, the new technology uses four different states simultaneously.

Open, well-documented data is a central component of modern research. The FAIR principles ensure that research data is findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable.

The human genome is a long sequence of DNA scattered with innumerable genetic variants that distinguish us. Extracting information from large biobank datasets about complex traits, influenced by thousands or millions of variants, remains a challenge. Using human height as a model, researchers at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) have developed an enhanced algorithm, now published in Cell Genomics , with potential applications in personalized medicine

Uber co-founder Garrett Camp's first gift to a European institute shows ISTA's global appeal - The Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) has received a donation of 5 million euros from Ca

Fairness in AI: Study Shows Central Role of Human Decision-Making. In addition to helping in a practical way, recommendations based on AI should above all be fair. A new study by researchers at TU Graz, Uni Graz and the Know Center shows how this can be achieved.
