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.

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.

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.

By Birgit Baustädter Karin Stana Kleinschek has dedicated her professional life to the question of how materials can be produced from renewable resources and made degradable or recyclable.

By Christoph Pelzl A technology developed at Graz University of Technology uses LED instead of laser sources for the additive manufacturing of metal parts and optimizes 3D metal printing in terms of construction time, metal powder consumption, equipment costs and post-processing effort.

By using modern CNC-controlled, highly sophisticated welding processes, new production methods can be utilized to build arbitrary structures on a substrate.

By Birgit Baustädter Franz Haas, head of the Institute of Production Engineering, has set his sights high, personally and professionally.

By Doris Griesser Although microporous crystals are tiny, their potential is enormous. To exploit this, TU Graz has initiated the interdisciplinary lead project Porous Materials@Work.

Research includes the fabrication of 3D nano-probes, radio-based positioning systems and the porosity of paper at three new Christian Doppler Laboratories to be opened at TU Graz on 25th April.

TU Graz, BMVIT, voestalpine, and other industry partners establish Austria's first endowed chair for aerospace research, occupied by Brazilian materials scientist Sergio Amancio.

By Birgit Baustädter Oliver Hofmann, solid-state physicist at TU Graz, is working on the simulation and prediction of material properties.

By Thomas Hochrainer The relative ease of plastically deforming metallic materials is a prerequisite for their widespread application in mechanical engineering.

Paolo Falcaro has secured a European Research Council (ERC) Consolidator Grant for his research into microporous crystals, known as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), at TU Graz.

Two interdisciplinary basic research projects in the fields of biomechanics and materials sciences will be funded to the amount of 3.5 million euros from TU Graz funds for three years from 2018.

By Roman Bureau Understanding and modelling the mechanisms involved in shaping metallic alloys has become a major concern of manufacturers.

Researchers from the universities of Montpellier, Bordeaux and TU Graz demonstrate that it is possible to combine the high-energy density of batteries with the high-power output of super capacitors in a single system - thanks to liquid energy storage materials.
