“A research team from TU Wien together with US research institutes came across a surprising form of “quantum criticality”. This could lead to a design concept for new materials. In everyday life, phase transitions usually have to do with temperature …
“With an elephant-friendly alternative to ivory, developed by TU Wien and Cubicure, old artefacts can be restored with high precision. For centuries, ivory was often used to make art objects. But to protect elephant populations, the ivory trade was banned …
“2D materials have triggered a boom in materials research. Now it turns out that exciting effects occur when two such layered materials are stacked and slightly twisted. The discovery of the material graphene, which consists of only one layer of …
“Until now, hexagonal boron nitride was considered the insulator of choice for miniaturised transistors. New investigations by TU Wien (Vienna) show: this may not be the way to go. For decades, there has been a trend in microelectronics towards ever …
“Quantum experiments that could previously only be performed with photons are now also possible with atoms: Beams of entangled atoms have been produced at TU Wien (Vienna). Heads or tails? If we toss two coins into the air, the result …
“Why do certain materials emit electrons with a very specific energy? This has been a mystery for decades – scientists at TU Wien have found an answer. It is something quite common in physics: electrons leave a certain material, they fly …
“A research team from Garching and Vienna discovered a remarkable echo effect – it offers exciting new possibilities for working with quantum information. Small particles can have an angular momentum that points in a certain direction – the spin. This spin can …
“For a long time, something important has been regularly neglected in electronics: If you want to make electronic components smaller and smaller, you also need the right insulator materials. Ever smaller and ever more compact - this is the direction in …
“To fully exploit the potential of the “wonder material” graphene, it has to be combined with other materials. A new study investigates what is important for this. Graphene consists of a single layer of carbon atoms. Exceptional electronic, thermal, mechanical …
“Nickel is supposed to herald a new age of superconductivity – but this is proving more difficult than expected. Scientists at TU Wien (Vienna) can now explain why. Last summer, a new age for high-temperature superconductivity was proclaimed - the nickel age …
