In Search of the Room Temperature Superconductor: International Team Formulates Research Agenda
In a current strategy paper, an international team with the participation of TU Graz calls for the search for room-temperature superconductors to be pursued in a coordinated manner and with combined forces - and presents a programmatic approach for its success.
Next-Generation Solar Cells
ISTA physicists explain the exceptional energy-harvesting efficiency of perovskites. Despite being riddled with impurities and defects, solution-processed lead-halide perovskites are surprisingly efficient at converting solar energy into electricity.
World Record: The World’s Smallest QR Code
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.
Skin models using 3D bioprinting
In cooperation with MedUni Vienna, researchers at TU Vienna have investigated how 3D bioprinting can be used specifically to produce complex skin models as part of a recent review.
Optical temperature sensing from cold to very hot
An international collaboration involving researchers from the University of Innsbruck has developed a novel luminescent material that enables particularly robust and precise optical temperature sensing across an exceptionally broad temperature range.
New solution to an old magnetism puzzle
How are superconductivity and magnetism connected? A puzzling relation between magnetism and superconductivity in a quantum material has lingered for decades - now a study from TU Wien offers a surprising new explanation.
