    of €117 million compared to the current budget for 2021 to 2023, which represents an increase of 28 percent. Federal Minister Martin Polaschek and OeAW President Heinz Faßmann signed the performance agreement on March 27, 2024 in a highly symbolic location: In the historic Kleiner Kassensaal of the former Vienna Postal Savings Bank (PSK), which is now home to art and research institutions, including numerous institutes of the OeAW. Continuing what has been started, making ...

    NECROPOLIS IN THE BALKANS PROVIDES UNIQUE INSIGHTS INTO LIFE AND DEATH IN PREHISTORY

    continued to be practised. The grave finds provide new insights into the way of life of the people of that time. In 2021, the Austrian-Bosnian excavation team succeeded in locating the necropolis of the hilltop settlement of Kopilo and uncovering the first graves. In 2022, the entire terrace on which the burial ground was located was systematically explored and extensively documented. Communication networks as far as the lower Danube and Macedonia Until now, the construction ...

    Quantum gravity’s tangled time
    22.08.2019
    a massive object will run slower as compared to an identical one that is further away. However, the rules of quantum theory allow for any object to be prepared in a superposition state. A superposition state of two locations is different to placing an object in one or the other location randomly – it is another way for an object to exist, allowed by the laws of quantum physics. In their new study, scientists from the Austrian Academy of Sciences, University of Vienna, the ...

    of particles two and three. Clues to Quantum Gravity? "Because these are quantum particles, we cannot describe complementary properties such as momentum and location independently of each other. Our quantum reference system is therefore a composite system composed of two particles, one that serves as a reference for momentum and one for location. A specific subsystem of the full system under consideration, which contains information about the relationships between all the ...

    Hot Schrödinger cat states created

    quantum physics in which a quantum object exists simultaneously in two different states. In Erwin Schrödinger's thought experiment, it is a cat that is alive and dead at the same time. In real experiments, such simultaneity has been seen in the locations of atoms and molecules and in the oscillations of electromagnetic resonators. Previously, these analogues to Schrödinger’s thought experiment were created by first cooling the quantum object to its ground state, the state ...

    Grasslands, forests, mountains: why plant diversity is decreasing
    10.12.2021
    two unfavorable effects. On the one hand, they promote the growth of the widespread nitrogen-loving species. On the other hand, this leads to increased shading, which results in the displacement of the small, rarer specialists for nutrient-poor locations. "Any species that is lost is an irretrievable loss and has an impact on the ecosystem, because the diverse plant species interact with insects and other living things, such as soil organisms," the OeAW researcher says. ...

    Jumping genes leap across cells and generations
    28.09.2026
    Nearly half of the human genome originates from ‘jumping genes’ or transposable elements. These DNA parasites move within genomes for their own advantage, either cutting themselves out of a chromosome and transferring to a new location or duplicating themselves as RNA that is then reconverted to DNA and inserted elsewhere. Although most transposable element insertions have lost the ability to move, their past activity was a major force in genome evolution. Retroviruses, a ...
