    Gašper Tkačik receives the highest honor of the ÖAW
    20.02.2020
    Austrian Academy of Sciences, worth 36,000 dollars, is named after the founders of Bankhaus Lieben and has been awarded by the Academy for young scientists in the fields of chemistry, physics, and physiology or molecular biology since 1865. Prominent prize winners of the past include Lise Meitner and Marietta Blau as well as the Nobel Prize winners Viktor Hess and Otto Loewi. Gašper Tkačik will be the youngest award winner, so far, and will receive the award on February 27 ...

    into the numerous resettlements that occurred during the "Migration Period". The project is endowed with ten million euros over a period of six years. It is coordinated by Walter Pohl, director of the Institute for Medieval Research of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW) and Professor at the University of Vienna. In an interview, Walter Pohl explains how centuries-old genetic material can be researched and what can thereby be learned about the history of Europe. What ...

    with a Styrian accent", said a newspaper about one of his roles. But how good is our own pronunciation when learning a foreign language? Is it true that we notice the accent much less with ourselves? This is exactly what scientists from the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW), the Ludwig Maximilian University (LMU) of Munich and the University of Malta investigated. They tested whether German-speakers learning English rated their own accent better than that of others. The ...

To harness these benefits, high-dimensional quantum gates that perform complex operations on high-dimensional quantum information are indispensable. Similar to their binary counterparts, these gates ...

    A Quantum of Solid
    31.01.2020
    Researchers in Austria use lasers to levitate and cool a glass nanoparticle into the quantum regime. Although it is trapped in a room temperature environment, the particle’s motion is solely governed by the laws of quantum physics. The team of scientists from the Austrian Academy of Sciences, the University of Vienna, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology published their new study in the journal Science.

    Secrets between loud and quiet
    30.01.2020
    “Every person constantly encounters sound. Without sound there would be neither communication nor music”, says Peter Balazs, director of the Acoustics Research Institute of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW) in Vienna. Although sound is so common and was already studied by Pythagoras, there is still a lot for researchers to do. “We mainly work with sound in the everyday sense, i.e., a longitudinal wave that spreads as pressure differences in the air. The basic principle ...
