    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 ...

    New approaches to combination therapies for aggressive cancers
    27.05.2019
    Kubicek at the CeMM – Research Center for Molecular Medicine of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW) had generated a cellular reporter system in 2016. Now the researchers were able to apply this model to systematically test whether loss of any of the approximately 23,000 human genes resembles BRD4 inhibition. Surprisingly, they discovered an interaction of folate metabolism with gene regulation. The results of the study, which among others included scientists from the Ins ...

"We don't need to be taught this, we do it automatically, for example when we sing together, simply because we have different pitched voices," says Marisa Hoeschele of the Acoustics Research Institute at the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW). Of the two tones in an octave, one has twice the fundamental frequency of the other, she explains. "A child trying to imitate an adult’s voice often uses the first overtone, ...

    Bis zu 40.000 Jahre alte Mammutknochen in Weinkeller entdeckt
    22.05.2024
    Bezirk Krems entdeckte Andreas Pernerstorfer einen ganz besonderen Schatz: Er stieß auf riesige Knochen, die sich als steinzeitliche Mammutknochen herausstellten. Er meldete den Fund dem Bundesdenkmalamt, das ihn an das Österreichische Archäologische Institut der Österreichischen Akademie der Wissenschaften (ÖAW) verwies. Knochen von drei verschiedenen Mammuts Seit Anfang Mai haben Archäolog:innen der ÖAW nun eine Schicht von übereinander liegenden Mammutknochen freigelegt. ...

    fertility rates in the past, such as Great Britain, Sweden and Belgium, birth rates fell during the "Great Recession" between 2008 and 2012 and have continued to decline since then. These are some of the findings of a team of researchers from the Vienna Institute of Demography at the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW), which have now been published online in the new European Demographic Data Sheet 2020. Uncertain times, delayed childbirth Delayed parenthood is one of the ...

    Amphorae: What made the antique containers so important?
    30.10.2025
    pottery to the untrained eye can offer researchers endless information about life in antiquity. This is true of the amphorae discovered in Ephesos, in modern-day Turkey. Joan Tuset Estany is a postdoctoral researcher at the Austrian Archaeological Institute of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW) and studies amphorae in Ephesos. He explains why amphorae were important in antiquity and what they reveal about trade relations in the Mediterranean. Why is Ephesos a ...
