- Searching for a sustainable solution without fossil bitumen
Asphalt is the world's most important road construction material. In Germany, around 95 per cent of all road surfaces consist of this material - a mixture of aggregates and bitumen, a black petrole... - The rock that creates clouds
Feldspar is very common in rocks. As atmospheric dust, this mineral contributes efficiently to cloud formation. Researchers at TU Wien have now discovered what happens during this process. Feld...
- Aerosols: When scents influence our climate
One of the great unknowns in climate models is the behavior of certain gases that often smell strongly and cause water to condense. TU Wien (Vienna) is providing new insights into this. It has ... - New Invention for more Efficient Atomic Force Microscopes
Tiny tips on cantilevers are used to scan a surface in an atomic force microscope. A new invention from TU Wien now provides a simpler way to measure the result. The basic principle of the atomi... - From greenhouse gas to value-added product
Thinking of CO2, terms like climate-damaging or waste product probably quickly come to mind. While CO2 has been that for a long time - a pure waste product - more and more processes are being devel... - New oxygen-ion battery - durable, without rare elements or problem of fire hazards
Lithium-ion batteries are ubiquitous today - from electric cars to smartphones. But that does not mean that they are the best solution for all areas of application. TU Wien has now succeeded in dev...
- Recycling Greenhouse Gases
CO2 and methane can be turned into valuable products. But until now, the catalysts required for such reactions quickly lose their effectiveness. TU Wien has now developed more stable alternatives. ... - Miniaturized Lab-on-a-Chip for real-time Chemical Analysis of Liquids
A fingertip-sized chip replaces bulky laboratory equipment. An infrared sensor has been developed at TU Wien (Vienna) that analyses the content of liquids within the fraction of a second. In an... - Climate protection: CO2 turned into methanol
For reasons of climate protection, carbon dioxide must not be released into the atmosphere. Wherever the formation of carbon dioxide cannot be prevented, it should be captured and converted into ot... - Light instead of electricity: a new Kknd of "Green Hydrogen"
Hydrogen could be an important part of our future energy supply: It can be stored, transported and burned as needed. However, most of the hydrogen available today is a by-product of natural gas pro... - A chemical reactor that can store energy without loss for months
Storing energy over the long term is arguably the biggest unsolved problem of the energy transition. A new type of chemical heat storage system has now been invented at TU Wien (Vienna) that can st...
- Symbionts sans frontieres: Bacterial partners travel the world
This pandemic year has seen us confined to our homes and restricted from travelling the world. Not so for some microscopic bacteria in the ocean: Throughout the globe, they partner up with clams fr... - Superconductors. an allegedly sensational effect does not exist at all
A single measurement result is not a proof - this has been shown again and again in science. We can only really rely on a research result when it has been measured several times, preferably by diff... - Tracking down the tiniest of forces: how T cells detect invaders
T-cells play a central role in our immune system: by means of their so-called T-cell receptors (TCR) they make out dangerous invaders or cancer cells in the body and then trigger an immune reaction... - Single atoms as a catalyst: Surprising effects ensue
For years, the metal nanoparticles used in catalysts have been getting smaller and smaller. Now, a research team at TU Wien in Vienna, Austria have shown that everything is suddenly different when ...
- Laser technology: New trick for infrared laser pulses
Infrared light can be used to detect molecules - but it is hard to create strong, short laser pulses. A new solution was found at TU Wien. Ordinary solid-state lasers, as used in laser pointers...
- Bioprinting: Living cells in a 3D printer
With a new process developed at TU Wien (Vienna), living cells can be integrated into fine structures created in a 3D printer - extremely fast and with very high resolution. Tissue growth and th... - Measuring the Laws of Nature
A physical constant, which is of great importance for basic research, has now be re-measured, with much higher precision than ever before. There are some numerical values that define the basic p... - Superconduction: Why does it have to be so cold?
Currently, there is no precise computation method to describe superconducting materials. TU Wien has now made a major advance towards achieving this goal and, at the same time, has furthered an und...
- Amazing synthesis method for high-tech dyes
Dyes that are also of great interest for organic electronics have recently been prepared and crystallised at TU Wien. All that is required is just water, albeit under highly unusual conditions. ... - Producing high quality images of individual atoms
It is one of the most accurate measurement instruments available today: the high-performance microscope at the Institute of Applied Physics of TU Wien acquires images of individual atoms by moving ...
- New polymers for creating artificial blood vessels
Blocked blood vessels can quickly become dangerous. It is often necessary to replace a blood vessel - either by another vessel taken from the body or even by artificial vascular prostheses. Togethe...
