A new type of material generates electrical current very efficiently from temperature differences

A new type of material generates electrical current very efficiently from temperature differences. This allows sensors and small processors to supply themselves with energy wirelessly. Thermoelectric materials can convert heat into electrical energy. This is due to the so-called Seebeck effect: If there is a temperature difference between the two ends of such a material,

A high-resolution bioprinting process with completely new materials

With a new process developed at TU Wien (Vienna), living cells can be integrated into fine structures created in a 3D printer – extremely fast and with very high resolution. Tissue growth and the behavior of cells can be controlled and investigated particularly well by embedding the cells in a delicate 3D framework. This is

A two-dimensional materials transistor technology that could restart Moore’s law

An important breakthrough in transistor technology has been achieved at TU Wien: With the help of novel insulators, high-quality transistors can be produced using two-dimensional materials. For decades, the transistors on our microchips have become smaller, faster and cheaper. Approximately every two years the number of transistors on commercial chips has doubled – this phenomenon

The aim: a circular economy of biogenic resources based on algae

Algae could become an important resource in the future, if you understand the chemistry behind it. With the participation of TU Wien, researchers have now decoded how algae biomass is degraded. Algae form the basis of the marine ecosystem, and store more carbon than all land plants put together. The algae’s carbohydrates are broken down

Room-temperature superconductivity takes a couple of more steps

New findings are changing the way we think about superconductivity. Experiments at TU Wien (Vienna) underline the special role of immobile charge carriers, acting as a “glue”, which makes superconductivity possible. Every standard cable, every wire, every electronic device has some electric resistance. There are, however, superconducting materials with the ability to conduct electrical current

A cure for celiac disease by 2021?

In an industrial collaboration project, TU Wien has developed a medication that can alleviate or even completely eliminate the symptoms of celiac disease. It should be available as early as 2021. Celiac disease is a fairly common disease, affecting one to two percent of the European population. It is expressed as a hypersensitivity to gluten,

A new acoustic invisibility cloak for submarines and more?

EPFL researchers have found a way to make materials that are normally opaque to sound waves completely transparent. Their system involves placing acoustic relays at strategic locations so that sound waves can propagate at a constant amplitude – regardless of what may lie in their path. This method could eventually be used to make it

Paving the way to a scalable quantum technology

How can quantum information be transferred from one atom to another? A team of researchers from TU Wien and Harvard University has proposed using phonons – the quanta of sound. Quantum physics is on the brink of a technological breakthrough: new types of sensors, secure data transmission methods and maybe even computers could be made
