    New low-tech SARS-CoV2-test being developed
    20.10.2020
    leader at the IMBA of the OeAW, together with Andrea Pauli from the IMP and the three PhD students Max Kellner, Julian Ross and Jakob Schnabl. The team has presented their method to the scientific community via the BioRxiv preprint server. A new website provides open access to the testing method and on how it is administered. How does the new test differ from conventional PCR tests? Julius Brennecke: The method is called LAMP and is already 20 years old. Compared to the PCR ...

    New source of energy for carcinogenesis discovered
    28.09.2020
    Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in our society. Intensive research is being carried out around the world into how and why a healthy body cell becomes a cancer cell in which cell division is out of balance, leading to pathological growths that damage healthy tissue. The development of cancer is extremely complex and is controlled by an interplay of various factors. The role of stem cells in the development of cancer has only recently become clear. So-called adult ...

    Not Only Humans, Rats Can Hear Octaves Too
    19.07.2024
    Marisa Hoeschele of the Acoustics Research Institute at the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW). Of the two tones in an octave, one has twice the fundamental frequency of the other, she explains. "A child trying to imitate an adult’s voice often uses the first overtone, which is an octave higher, to imitate the lower frequencies," says Hoeschele. Experimentally training rats to produce sounds But how do animals perceive the equivalence of octaves that we take for granted? ...

    OEAW budget increases by 28 percent
    28.03.2024
    research institutions located in the PSK, such as the University of Applied Arts or institutes of the Ludwig Boltzmann Gesellschaft. The Campus Academy, which has its starting point at the main building of the OEAW, is now coming to an end with the PSK, bringing to life a new research mile in the middle of Vienna's city center. Other important construction projects have also been secured for the coming years with the new LV, such as the climate and energy upgrading of the ...

    Paving the way for a faster Quantumcomputer
    13.08.2015
    means that a set of quantum gates can act in all possible orders at the same time. Surprisingly, this effect can be used to reduce the total number of gates required for certain quantum computations. All orders at once A team led by Philip Walther recently realized that superimposing the order of quantum gates, an idea which was theoretically designed by the group of Caslav Brukner, director of the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information - Vienna, could be ...

    Planet killers: Why asteroids mainly hit in movies
    24.01.2022
    all, impacts of objects from space have shaped the history of the earth. The Chicxulub crater, a 66-million-year-old asteroid impact crater about 180 km across in Mexico, has even been linked to the extinction of the dinosaurs. However, there is no need to worry too much about a "planet killer" at the moment: "A person is more likely to win the lottery than to experience a large impact in their lifetime," says Christian Möstl from the Space Research Institute of the Austrian ...

    Quantum gravity’s tangled time

    study, scientists from the Austrian Academy of Sciences, University of Vienna, the University of Queensland (AUS) and the Stevens Institute of Technology (USA) have researched the question what happens when an object massive enough to influence the flow of time is placed in a quantum superposition state? New discovery They were expecting to face the roadblocks making the scenario impossible, but surprisingly, using standard textbook physics they were able to exactly describe ...

    Quantum particles: Pulled and compressed

    delocalized “While atoms in the motional ground state bounce around over distances larger than the size of the atom, the motion of macroscopic objects in the ground state is very, very small,” explain Talitha Weiss and Marc Roda-Llordes from the Innsbruck team. “The quantum fluctuations of nanoparticles are smaller than the diameter of an atom.” To take advantage of the quantum nature of nanoparticles, the wave function of the particles must be greatly expanded. In the ...

    Quantum physicists develop new method for cooling nanoparticles

    scatters a tiny portion of the light in almost all directions. If the particle is in an optical cavity, some of the scattered light may be trapped between its mirrors. As a result, the light is preferably scattered into the optical cavity. However, this is only possible for certain colors, or in other words, for certain photon energies. If light with a slightly smaller photon energy than necessary is used for the optical trap, the nanoparticle will "sacrifice" a little of ...
