    andere Weltregionen übertragen. Diesem Spannungsfeld widmet das Institut für Kultur- und Geistesgeschichte Asiens (IKGA) der ÖAW anlässlich seines 30-jährigen Bestehens eine Vortragsreihe zum Thema „Method and Region“. Ziel dieser Initiative ist die Förderung des intellektuellen Austauschs und der gegenseitigen Befruchtung zwischen den am IKGA vertretenen Fächern — Buddhismuskunde, Indologie, Japanologie, Sinologie und Tibetologie — und ihren Nachbardisziplinen.

    Hot Schrödinger cat states created
    04.04.2025
    Innsbruck and the Institute of Quantum Optics and Quantum Information (IQOQI) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW) . “We wanted to know whether these quantum effects can also be generated if we don't start from the ‘cold’ ground state,” says Kirchmair. In their study published in the Science Advances , the researchers used a transmon qubit in a microwave resonator to generate the cat states. They succeeded in creating the quantum superpositions at temperatures of up to ...

    How does a quantum particle see the world?
    30.01.2019
    According to one of the most fundamental principles in physics, an observer on a moving train uses the same laws to describe a ball on the platform as an observer standing on the platform – physical laws are independent on the choice of a reference frame. Reference frames such as the train and the platform are physical systems and ultimately follow quantum-mechanical rules. They can be, for example, in a quantum state of superposition of different positions at once. So, what ...

    How plants grow toward the light
    04.05.2026
    quickly became clear that red and blue light induce two extreme forms of growth that balance each other out in white light – which contains both blue and red light.” Plants use their “eyes” The results paint a clear picture: blue light causes the plant to grow upward, while red light has the opposite effect. When both light colors come together – as in natural white light – a balance is created. The plant grows flat and optimally oriented. This is made possible by ...

    How the genome is packed into chromosomes that can be faithfully moved during cell division
    04.08.2022
    the Gerlich Research Group at IMBA – Institute of Molecular Biotechnology of the Austrian Academy of Sciences shed light on how mitotic chromosomes resist the constant pushing and pulling forces generated by the microtubules. “Amidst this complex system, the distinct physical properties are conferred to the chromosomes by changing the levels of histone acetylation, a chemical modification within the chromatin fiber,” says Daniel Gerlich, Group Leader at OeAW’s IMBA. ...

    How to make societies healthier
    06.04.2021
    Who wouldn't want to know how to live longer? Science has interesting answers to this question. "Our biological starting conditions and genes shape our life expectancy by only 25%," says Marc Luy, population scientist at the Vienna Institute of Demography of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW) and member of the Young Academy of the OeAW. "The rest comes down to decisions that we make." Sounds good, but the problem is that not all people have the same opportunities. "The ...

Many cultural workers in Ukraine are still busy digitizing – despite the barrage of bombs. To do this, they need devices such as cameras and scanners so that they can upload as much as possible before any attack occurs. Volunteers back up websites in part manually The digital situation is different in every institution. ...
