    "Embryo models are an ethical alternative"
    03.07.2023
    Recently, several research groups in the U.S., Israel and China have reported progress in developing embryo models from human stem cells. Research on such models could provide insights into infertility, early miscarriage and prenatal preventive medicine. Nicolas Rivron, molecular biologist at the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW), explains what embryo models actually are, what opportunities they offer for solving global health challenges and what ethical issues arise from research with stem cells.

    "Qutrit": Complex quantum teleportation achieved for the first time
    19.08.2019
    Researchers from the Austrian Academy of Sciences and the University of Vienna have experimentally demonstrated what was previously only a theoretical possibility. Together with quantum physicists from the University of Science and Technology of China, they have succeeded in teleporting complex high-dimensional quantum states. The research teams report this international first in the journal "Physical Review Letters". In their study, the researchers teleported the quantum ...

    here. What impact does the failure of Donald Trump's administration to fight the pandemic have on the US self-image? Zacharasiewicz: A majority in the country is dissatisfied with the way the pandemic has been dealt with. As of mid-September, there have been more than 190,000 deaths in the USA and 6.5 million people have been infected. These are the statistically proven numbers. The country is more polarized than ever before. Concern is exceptionally high among most ...

The virus is also an attack on our modern understanding of progress and feasibility, according to which we have everything under control. To what extent does the virus also show our vulnerability as a society? Moebius: The virus is also an attack on our modern understanding of progress and ...

    individuals. Many viruses causing disease in human are zoonotic, meaning they are animal viruses jumping into the human species. A rigorous shutting down of wild animal markets by the Chinese would dramatically reduce the frequency of recurrent zoonotic infections (leading to pandemics) originating in China. What lessons can be learned to avoid future epidemics or pandemics? Palese: Many viruses causing disease in human are zoonotic, meaning they are animal viruses jumping ...

    patients who are weakly positive and patients who are strongly positive is a factor of ten to a hundred million. How could these tests be used in the future? Elling: Realistically, our test takes at least 24 hours. If someone wants to visit their grandmother in a nursing home and wants to quickly do a test first, the RT-LAMP test developed by Julius Brennecke and Andrea Pauli would be suitable. Our test, on the other hand, can be used for monitoring larger groups of people ...

    A connection between quantum correlations and spacetime geometry

    typically scale with the volume and not the area of the region considered. Quantum mechanics and gravity While area laws are typically formulated in terms of regions of space (as in our example), Einstein’s theory of relativity, in which space and time are unified into one spacetime, teaches us that the proper description of physics should be in terms of interactions that are local in spacetime. This raises the question of whether the area law property can be generalised to ...

    A deeper understanding of how drugs interact
    13.11.2019
    identified various factors that contribute to the emergence of such interactions. Most notably, the distance between two drug modules on the interactome plays a key role: Certain types of interactions are more likely depending on the exact proximity between the two respective drug modules. If the modules are too far away from each other, it is rather unlikely that an interaction will take place. “We developed a completely new methodology to classify drug interactions. ...

    ADIEU PRIVACY?

    rather a symptom. It is very short-sighted to believe that society would be more open and freer without privacy. With increasing digitization, ever stronger power monopolies are being created. These power monopolies are ultimately information monopolies that are increasingly becoming monopolies over digital identities. So, what do you suggest? Strauß: In my view, the discussion about privacy and data protection needs more systems thinking. This brings an analytical added ...

    AI cracks the code of papyrus: The Austrian Academy of Sciences unravels the secrets of ancient texts with Mistral and Reply

    have vast quantities of documentary sources, particularly in the field of papyrology. There are huge collections of ancient texts around the world that have never been deciphered, or have only been partially deciphered. In the case of Greek papyri alone, we are talking about more than a million documents, of which barely six per cent have been catalogued to date. These sources are a vast treasure trove; they are often incredibly revealing and lead to amazing discoveries. But ...
