SARS-CoV-2: Only neutralising antibodies allow conclusions to be drawn about protection against new infections
Medicine & Science Mutations of virus and illnesses caused by new variants are still to be expected even in a SARS-CoV-2 situation that has now become endemic. Although the population has developed specific immune responses due to previous infections and vaccinations, vaccinated and vulnerable individuals continue to contract COVID-19.

Small cell lung cancer: New therapy option being explored
Medicine & Science Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) accounts for 15% of all lung cancer cases and is still associated with a particularly high mortality rate. According to a recent multicenter study led by MedUni Vienna, SCLC can be classified into specific molecular subtypes. New research from the same international team now suggests that a novel combination drug therapy could be an effective option for patients with specific molecular backgrounds.

Nano shag brushes bring active ingredients into body
Newly developed nanoparticles in the form of tiny shag brushes effectively transport drugs through the body . Once their work is done, they are degraded into natural precursors, releasing active substances that they have brought with them, explained Ian Teasdale of the Institute of Chemistry of Polymers at Johannes Kepler University Linz.

Myth Mozart effect: Listening to music does not help against epilepsy
A new study by psychologists at the University of Vienna shows that there is no scientific evidence for the alleged positive effect of Mozart's Sonata KV448 on epilepsy . The music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart has been attributed with amazing effects, especially in the last fifty years. Reports about possible positive effects of listening to Mozart's Sonata KV448 on epilepsy symptoms received high media attention.

Dolphins ’sing’ with the nose
Bioacoustic research on voice production reveals similarities between toothed whales and humans Voice production in toothed whales - which also include dolphins - follows a similar physical mechanism as in humans. This is the result of a recent study: Biophysicist and voice researcher Christian Herbst from the Department of Behavioral and Cognitive Biology at the University of Vienna comments on the results of this work in the renowned journal Science and emphasizes how important combined research approaches are in order to understand the acoustic world around us.

Inspired by nature: synthesis of an important molecular ring successful in the laboratory
Chemists use new method for sustainable production of cyclopropanes Tripartite ring-shaped hydrocarbons (cyclopropanes) are important structural subunits in many drugs and materials. Their production in the laboratory is challenging and usually involves the generation of various waste products. The research group led by Nuno Maulide, a chemist at the Faculty of Chemistry at the University of Vienna, has now developed a new nature-inspired process for the sustainable production of cyclopropanes and presented it in the renowned journal JACS (Journal of the American Chemical Society).

How Patterns Emerge in Salt Deserts
By Susanne Filzwieser The honeycomb patterns which are often found in salt deserts in Death Valley and Bolivia, among other places, look like something from another world. Researchers, including those from TU Graz, explain the origin of the mysterious patterns for the first time. Honeycomb patterns form in salt deserts all over the world, for example in the Badwater Basin of Death Valley in California or in the Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia.

A motion freezer for particles
Tailor-made laser light fields can be used to slow down the movement of several particles and thus cool them down to extremely low temperatures - as shown by a team from TU Wien. Using lasers to slow down atoms is a technique that has been used for a long time already: If one wants to achieve low-temperature world records in the range of absolute temperature zero, one resorts to laser cooling, in which energy is extracted from the atoms with a suitable laser beam.

’Jurassic Shark’ - shark from the Jurassic period already highly developed
Molecular biology phylogenetic tree provides new insights into cartilaginous fish evolution Cartilaginous fish have changed much more in the course of evolution than previously assumed. Evidence for this thesis was provided by molecular biological data on fossil remains of Protospinax annectans , an already highly evolved shark from the late Jurassic.

Chaos on the Nanometer Scale
Sometimes, chemical reactions do not solely run stationary in one direction, but they show spatio-temporal oscillations. At TU Wien, a transition to chaotic behavior on the nanometer scale has now been observed. Chaotic behavior is typically known from large systems: for example, from weather, from asteroids in space that are simultaneously attracted by several large celestial bodies, or from swinging pendulums that are coupled together.

Artificial intelligence shows potential for solving global challenges
Medicine & Science A study by the Medical University of Vienna has investigated the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) to address societal megatrends and analyzed its proposed solutions in dealing with these global challenges. Artificial intelligence can offer understandable insights into the complex and cross-cutting issues of megatrends, and how they could change and benefit in different areas if AI systems are deployed.

The inner workings of organic light-emitting diodes
How electrons and atomic nuclei make OLEDs glow Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) can be used to generate light from electricity in a cost-effective and sustainable manner. Central to this is the use of efficient dye molecules. A team of theoretical chemists from the University of Vienna has now elucidated how these molecules function by means of computer simulations.

New CD Laboratory: Folding Proteins Correctly
When proteins are produced in the pharmaceutical industry, they are often initially misfolded and have to be rearranged. At TU Wien, this is being studied in detail in a new CD laboratory . Certain proteins are among the most important products of the pharmaceutical industry - such as insulin or interferons, which are used to treat diabetes, cancer or viral diseases.

Bioplastic bottles also keep cooking oil fresh for a long time
No transfer of compounds from the bottle material into the Él detected Bottles made of bioplastic protect cooking oil from oxidative spoilage (rancidity) to a similar extent as PET bottles. In addition, even less taste- and odor-impairing substances were formed. This is the result of a recent study published in the journal "Food Packaging and Shelf Life" by researchers led by Marc Pignitter from the Faculty of Chemistry at the University of Vienna.

On the trail of the origin of life
A team of scientists from Austria and France has discovered a new abiotic pathway for the formation of peptide chains from amino acids - an important chemical step in the origin of life. The current study provides strong evidence that this crucial step for the emergence of life can indeed take place even in the very inhospitable conditions of space.

Stem cell transplantation: Processes for the restoration of the immune system discovered
Medicine & Science In stem cell transplants, which are used for the treatment of leukaemia, the patient's haematopoietic system is eliminated and replaced by haematopoietic cells from donors. Even though the amount of complications occurring in this process is steadily decreasing due to medical progress, the exact mechanisms for the restoration of the immune system in these patients have not yet been conclusively clarified.
