    20.06.2025
    with a steadily increasing player base. While TTRPGs are not inherently set in a specific time or place, many focus on the fantasy genre and a medieval setting. Thom Gobbitt of the Institute for Medieval Research (IMAFO) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences is one of many TTRPG enthusiasts and has been looking to combine his work as a medievalist and tabletop gamer. But how do tabletop role-playing games work? The base for most games is a single person who acts as the ...

    different temperatures coupled to a two-qubit machine. This induces a heat flow from the hot reservoir to the cold one which in turn powers the clock. We are also planning to build such a clock, with slight modifications, in the lab, it is by no means science fiction. But this is a situation where an experiment is not adding any additional insight. It is about the theoretical principle, thinking about the “clock of clocks”, the best clock that could be built based only on ...

    COVID-19 reduces life expectancy, but does not take away years of life
    18.02.2021
    figures, the coronavirus pandemic led to a six-month reduction in average life expectancy in 2020. Nevertheless, people will not live any shorter overall. Sound contradictory? Marc Luy from the Vienna Institute of Demography of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW) explains why it is not. The average life expectancy is recalculated for each year. This means that a baby born today would live a total of half a year less if every year were like 2020: "For these hypothetical ...

    New low-tech SARS-CoV2-test being developed
    20.10.2020
    For the detection of a COVID-19 infection, scientists from the IMBA – Institute of Molecular Biotechnology of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW) – and the Research Institute of Molecular Pathology (IMP) in Vienna have further developed and improved so-called "loop-mediated isothermal amplification" (RT-LAMP), which has been around for about 20 years. The new method is almost as reliable as the prevailing PCR tests and is also faster, simpler and cheaper, according to ...

    The question “What makes us who we are?” also concerns Christoph Bock, bioinformatician at the CeMM – Research Center for Molecular Medicine of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW) and member of the Young Academy. In this interview, Bock explains how tightly intertwined genetic predispositions, external influences and sheer randomness are. He describes why gene analyses reveal only probabilities, how national sequencing initiatives like “Genome of Europe” may ...
