    Archaeological Experiments with Greenstone Axes on Tree, Pig and Stone
    16.06.2023
    Finds from the two important World Heritage sites Göbekli Tepe and Çukuriçi Höyük in Turkey served as models for the replicas used for the experiments. Laura Dietrich, archaeologist at the Austrian Archaeological Institute (OeAI) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW) : "Grinded stone axes were invented in the early Neolithic period around 9,600 to 8,000 BC in Southwest Asia. They enabled one of the greatest changes in human history: the transition from hunting and ...

    of infection for around 79 percent of all documented illnesses, the study continues. This is not only an explanation for the rapid worldwide spread of the virus, but also shows how important extensive testing is, as this will identify symptom-free carriers of the virus. To increase the nationwide test capacity, a total of 20 Viennese research institutes from the university and non-university sector, including the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW), have banded together to ...

    are planned in the surrounding area and an extended radius. The archaeologists will gather information about the types of rocks used, their provenance, resource management and the strategies used by the Stone Age groups to procure the raw materials. Following initial fieldwork at the end of 2023, a new excavation will take place in November this year. The new findings and targeted dating of the features will provide further answers to the history of the site. In order to ...

    First multi-chamber heart organoids unravel human heart development and disease

    provided information about the shape and tissue organisation of the chambers. However, the aim was to allow the individual ventricular organoids to grow together - and to achieve the propagation of the electrical signal typical of the beating heart. In the current study, this goal was achieved for the first time: the jointly grown ventricular organoids actually developed a heartbeat typical of early foetal development: "The signal spread from the atrium to the left and then ...

    How to tame solar storms

    elliptical shape within the ecliptic. However, this is a great simplification, just like the assumption that the solar wind is uniform. In the future, this model should be able to accommodate the scenario that the CME front can deform due to the interaction with the structured background solar wind, which should enable a more realistic description of the spread and development of solar storms. "We don't yet know if the inclusion of additional details will make the ...

    The story of Hitler’s DNA – and what genes really reveal about us
    01.12.2025
    most existing data comes from the UK, the US, Iceland, Germany, and other countries. Thanks to an EU initiative, the “Genome of Europe” project was launched last year, which aims to sequence 100,000 genomes from people across the EU. Each country contributes proportionally to its population size. For Austria, that’s just over 2,000 genomes. Nearly half will be sequenced at CeMM, and the Medical University of Innsbruck coordinates the project. Thus – ten years after the start ...
