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 novel, non-toxic solvent makes it possible to recycle mixed-fibre textiles almost perfectly. We are producing more textiles than ever before: worldwide, well over one hundred million tons of textiles are manufactured every year - more than twice as much as in the year 2000.

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

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

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

A research team led by Paolo Falcaro has developed a microporous crystal compound that signals whether protein-rich foods are spoilt.

In 2040, electricity production from solar installations will often significantly exceed demand, especially at midday.

The Nanofabrication Facility (NFF) at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) processes materials at the nanoscale, helping research projects ranging from material science, and quantum computing to life sciences.

Discarded lithium-ion cells from electric cars could be re-used as stationary power storage units. Researchers at TU Graz have established the first indicators for a reliable assessment of their condition. In 2030, around 1.2 million lithium-ion batteries of electric cars, buses and construction machinery will be decommissioned worldwide because they will reach the end of their planned service life, their warranty will expire or the entire vehicles will be scrapped.

New assistant professor at ISTA bridges ultrafast physics and quantum mechanics Ultrafast laser spectroscopy specialist Denitsa Baykusheva is one of the newest additions to the faculty at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) in 2024.

The "LifeScope3D" research platform has been opened. It offers various new high-tech devices for bio-research at TU Wien, which are available to TU Wien scientists but also external institutions.

Do you always have to optimize everything? This is common practice in technology. In nature, however, "good enough" is sometimes better than "perfect".

By Birgit Baustädter Nowadays, batteries are recycled at the end of their (first) life in the best case; in the worst case they end up in a landfill.

A new type of battery has been invented at TU Wien (Vienna): The oxygen-ion battery can be extremely durable, does not require rare elements and solves the problem of fire hazards.

This sentence comes from TU Graz researcher Ricardo Buzolin. The 30-year-old is actually a mechanical engineer, but switched to materials science because "every machine is made of materials".

Montanuniversität Leoben Where research meets the future Sustainable production, as called for in the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations, requires significant progress in the efficient use of resources.

By Birgit Baustädter At the Institute of Chemistry and Technology of Biobased Systems, a new bioprinter recently entered service.

In order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, automotive manufacturers are increasingly turning to aluminum, which is three times lighter than conventional steel.

By Beate Mosing What can you make from wood? Not only pieces of furniture apparently. Today, cellulose fibres are being turned into new, useful materials and used for fashion as well as for artificial tissue cultivation.

In extreme heat or in the vacuum of space: a novel nanomaterial delivers top performance in extreme situations, as demonstrated by TU Wien (Vienna) with international partners.

Due to current efforts being made in the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and the associated political focus on hydrogen as a clean energy carrier, methods for sustainable hydrogen production and efficient utilization are again in great demand.

.. of Ultra-High-Strength Steel Screws in Service: Still a Development Potential? Hydrogen embrittlement is a major concern for the automotive, construction, and energy sectors.

ERC Synergy Grants for Thomas Pichler and Markus Aspelmeyer The physicist Thomas Pichler and his international team will receive an ERC Synergy Grant of 14 million Euros to build a new electron nano

By Susanne Eigner At the heart of the research centre are climate chambers for targeted battery ageing under a wide variety of conditions, as well as novel mechanical test environments, including a highly dynamic crash facility for charged batteries.

By Susanne Eigner Over the next few years, work will be carried out at TU Graz on cell factories for industrial algae biotechnology, on a rapid prototyping approach for microand nanodevices and on new paradigms for ultra-fast information processing.

Montanuniversität Leoben is the first university in Austria to have a 3D printer capable of processing hybrid materials.

By Susanne Eigner Battery expert Martin Wilkening from TU Graz knows how much sun mobile phone batteries can tolerate, what exactly happens in the event of a battery fire and how best to keep a mobile phone cool in summer.

When it comes to nanotechnology, nature is truly the most successful researcher. Whereas we are still struggling with large-scale production of three-dimensional, nano-sized materials, nature perfected this task in viruses long before the dawn of humanity.
