As part of an international project consortium, TU Graz has developed new measurement techniques and methods to measure emissions from category-L vehicles in realistic operation and to determine corresponding limit values. The emissions scandal in the automotive industry that came to light in 2015 has set many things in motion.

They are standard on trains, but on container ships still a dream of the future: Large electric motors are constantly evolving and are used for numerous applications.

By Philipp Jarke The "Aerospace Team Graz" competed in Constância, Portugal, with its hybrid rocket "Halcyon" and won the overall ranking of the European Rocketry Challenge for the first time.

From 24 to 26 May, the Institute of Lightweight Structures and Structural Biomechanics and the Institute of Engineering Design and Product Development went on a joint excursion to several companies in the Augsburg and Munich areas.

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".

By AMAG und TU Graz Medienservice Austria Metall AG, Austria's largest aluminium producer and processor, donates a state-of-the-art additive manufacturing system to Graz University of Technology, thereby promoting research and teaching.

By Christoph Pelzl From 2023, rail vehicle manufacturers will be able to have their braking systems tested and certified on the TU Graz campus.

By Birgit Baustädter In the turbomachinery laboratory at TU Graz, Emil Göttlich and his team are primarily investigating the aerodynamics of the turbine center frame - an important component of an aircraft engine.

For mobility applications hydrogen has the potential to make an important contribution towards well-to-wheel and life-cycle CO2 neutral mobility solutions.

Under the leadership of TU Graz, researchers are working on the development of CO2-free fuels and hybrid propulsion systems for small engines.

By Ute Wiedner What structural durability and bouldering have in common and how mechatronics engineer Peter Brunnhofer came to be head of the Fatigue Testing Laboratory at TU Graz is revealed in the interview.

The Space Team at TU Wien is launching an ambitious project together with the University of Würzburg.

In an Austrian-German research project, laser technology is being used to produce microscopic structures on electrical plugs in order to increase fail safety.

The electric motor is a tried-and-tested concept. This, however, does not mean that there is no more space for revolutionary improvements.

Accident researcher Corina Klug uses virtual "human body models" to better protect pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists in the future.

A novel method for curing of epoxy resins has been developed at TU Wien. Local UV flashes initiate a chemical cascade and cure the entire material.

The aim of the new CD Laboratory, a joint project between TU Graz and Mechatronics Systems - an SME from Styria, is to make use of electrical energy in auxiliary drives and household appliances as efficiently as possible.

Aircraft are becoming increasingly efficient, lower in emissions and quieter. The technology behind this is being co-developed and tested at TU Graz.

Unique worldwide and made in Austria: TU Graz is strengthening the field of production technology with a new grinding machine for engines and drive components to the value of 1 million euros.

Interconnecting different quantum systems is important for future quantum computing architectures, but has proven difficult to achieve.

[ Alexander Schirrer TU Wien and the company Dynamic Perspective develop an advanced camera suspension system, actively controlled to deliver pin sharp videos from dynamic aerial viewpoints.

An international team of scientists around Alice Auersperg from the Department of Cognitive Biology of the University of Vienna has shown that members of an Indonesian parrot species, the Goffin Cockatoo, can solve a complex mechanical five-step problem and so retrieve a nut from a puzzle box. The researchers published their findings in the journal "Plos One".

Scientists have reached a milestone in the exploration of quantum gas mixtures. The group led by Rudolf Grimm has succeeded in producing controlled strong interactions between two fermionic elements. This model system not only promises to provide new insights into solid-state physics but also shows intriguing analogies to the primordial substance right after the Big Bang.
