In an important step toward visual prostheses, biocompatible electrodes can convert infrared light into nerve impulses, as ...

Intense, extremely short-wave X-ray pulses in the nanometer wavelength range are difficult to produce, but now a new, simpler method has been developed at TU Wien (Technical University of Vienna, ...

A project from TU Wien (Technical University of Vienna, Austria) has demonstrated how laser patterning can be used to create microvascular channels within microfluidic chips. The breakthrough, ...

A research team from TU Graz, TU Wien and the Environment Agency Austria has developed a practical method to reliably ...

Climate change is leading to stronger flood disasters. TU Wien and Joanneum Research have developed a new model that shows ...

A new technical paper titled “The van der Waals Gap: a Hidden Showstopper in Semiconductor Device Scaling” was published by researchers at TU Wien. Abstract “Continued miniaturization of transistors ...

It is an exotic phenomenon that nobody was able to explain for years: when energy is supplied to a thin layer of the material tungsten diselenide, it begins to glow in a highly unusual fashion. In ...

Only one side of a silver crystal has the right structure to trigger ice formation, revealing how these particles help clouds ...

The novel material graphene makes faster electronics possible. Scientists have developed light detectors made of graphene and analyzed their astonishing properties. High hopes are pinned on the new ...

Two-dimensional materials such as graphene, which consist of only one or a few atomic layers, have been a very promising aspect of materials science over recent years. They demonstrate remarkable ...

According to the police, it was an "undeclared assembly". In the course of the dispersal, 16 provisional arrests were made as people chained themselves together and one person climbed a tree. The ...

Tissue growth and the behavior of cells can be controlled and investigated particularly well by embedding the cells in a delicate 3D framework. This is achieved using additive 3D printing methods - so ...
