    medical papers, sermons, and textbooks. "You can find everything imaginable in the 25,000 medieval manuscripts, although the majority, of course, concern theology", says Christine Glaßner from the Institute for Medieval Research of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW). Until now, this literary treasure trove from the Middle Ages could only be viewed and analyzed in the respective institutions in Austria. With around 1,200 manuscripts each, the libraries in Melk and ...

    Alice and Bob. This has been a major shortcoming for use in modern networks, which must allow simultaneous communication between countless active participants. Researchers at the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, in Vienna, have now overcome this hurdle. In a quantum physics experiment, they worked together with the Austrian Institute of Technology (AIT) to connect four participants within a quantum network, such that ...

    satellites were sent along for the first time. These fly behind the probe and closely observe the entry of InSight into the atmosphere and the following landing sequence", explains Günter Kargl, scientist at the Space Research Institute of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW). The two so-called CubeSats MarCO-A and -B, unofficially called WALL-E and EVE, were sent along as a technological demonstration. If their efforts prove successful, such technology is likely to ...

    well-researched through excavations. But only parts of the Middle and early Late Bronze Age, the historical period about 3,500 years ago, are properly understood. Felix Höflmayer from the Institute for Oriental and European Archaeology of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW) is seeking to illuminate this period in history. For the second time this year, Höflmayer and his Austrian-Israeli team have carried out excavations in Tel Lachisch. In addition to numerous finds, the ...

    Brigitte Mazohl, referring to the everyday commemorative culture of the post-war era, but also to a gap in historical research. This and other research gaps were discussed at an international conference held at the beginning of November at the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW) in Vienna. The conference, "Surveying a Time Threshold. The Meaning of 1918 in European and Global Perspective", was timed to coincide with the centenary of the end of the "Great War". War without ...

The complete transcription of the Book of Heroes has been a central research gap for many years. Thanks to a "go!digital" grant from the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW), this gap can now be filled. The " Ambraser Heldenbuch " was written by a tollkeeper from Bolzano by order of Maximilian I. Why did the Emperor not hire a professional clerk at Court for this major ...
