    First Austrian excavation in South Africa explores the inventiveness of Homo sapiens
    06.03.2024
    Southern Africa plays an important role in the study of human history, especially in the successful global spread of Homo sapiens, i.e. modern humans. More than 100,000 years ago, during the so-called

    Entanglement Defies Gravity
    15.02.2024
    During a parabolic flight maneuver of an airplane, the passengers are subjected to alternating phases where they experience heightened but also lowered g-forces, including weightlessness or “microgravity”. The team of scientists from the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW) und TU Wien exploited these effects to test the influence of varying gravitational forces on a quantum system consisting of entangled photons. Their experiment was conducted on board of an airplane of the ...

    s be further improved? Austria has climbed to sixth place in the EU's annual innovation ranking, but is still not among the innovation leaders, which include countries of comparable size such as Denmark, Belgium and the Netherlands. The Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW) therefore wants to know with its new prize question: "Is Austria a good research location?". Our aim is to gather new ideas on what Austria might look like as a research location in the future. Austria as a ...

    Was tun gegen den Plastikmüll
    01.02.2024
    Das 21. Jahrhundert wird wohl als "Plastik-Zeitalter" in die Geschichte eingehen. Um die Verschmutzung durch Plastikmüll zu reduzieren, braucht es drastische Maßnahmen, sowohl in der Produktion als auch im Recycling. Das European Academies Science Advisory Council (EASAC) , dessen Geschäftsstelle seit Anfang des Jahres an der Österreichischen Akademie der Wissenschaften angesiedelt ist, hat eine Liste mit Empfehlungen für die Verhandlungen eines internationalen ...

    Observing macroscopic quantum effects in the dark
    10.01.2024
    more massive an object, the more localized it becomes when being made quantum through cooling down its motion to the absolute zero. Researchers, led by Oriol Romero-Isart from the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW) and the University of Innsbruck, propose an experiment in which an optically levitated nanoparticle, cooled to its ground state, evolves in a non-optical (“dark”) potential created by electrostatic or ...
