Light from exotic particle states
A new type of light-emitting diode has been developed at TU Wien. Light is produced from the radiative decay of exciton complexes in layers of just a few atoms thickness.
The Random Anti-Laser
The concept of the laser can be time-reversed: the perfect light source then becomes the perfect light absorber. Scientists at TU Wien have found a way to build such an...
Austrian Microfluidics Initiative: Bridging gaps between product and research
The initiative brings together research and industry on the topic of microfluidics, lab-on-a-chip and organ-on-a-chip technologies.
How to Freeze Heat Conduction
Physicists have discovered a new effect, which makes it possible to create excellent thermal insulators which conduct electricity. Such materials can be used to convert waste...
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...
New Wheelchair Design: a Hand Gear for better Ergonomics
Using biomedical modelling, researchers at TU Wien have developed a completely new type of wheelchair. Specially designed handles make the drive more efficient and ergonomic.
Invitation to participate in the Vienna Young Scientists Symposium 2019 (VSS 2019)
Submission deadlien for Extended Abstracts is March 4, 2019.
Where does this contamination come from?
When bodies of water become polluted, it is important to find the cause as quickly and as economically as possible. To this end, TU Wien has now developed a new, DNA-based...
Superconductors: Resistance is Futile
New findings are changing the way we think about superconductivity. Experiments at TU Wien (Vienna) underline the special role of immobile charge carriers, acting as a “glue”,...
