Two laser pulses hit silicon dioxide

Until now, complex experimental equipment was required to measure the shape of a light pulse. A team from TU Wien (Vienna), MPI Garching and LMU…

A new measurement protocol, developed at TU Wien (Vienna), makes it possible to measure the quantum phase of electrons - an important step for…

Experimental equipment at ILL Grenoble

A physical constant, which is of great importance for basic research, has now be re-measured, with much higher precision than ever before.

A neutron (left) can decay spontaneously into a proton (right). An electron and an antineutrino are also created in the process.

Can dark matter be created when neutrons transform into protons? This is a hotly debated theory – but new analyses from TU Wien do not support this…
