Using a mathematical model, two scientists of the University of Innsbruck and the University of Helsinki were able to determine that in predator-prey dynamics, both…
While working with helium nanodroplets, scientists at the Department of Ion Physics and Applied Physics led by Fabio Zappa and Paul Scheier have come across…
An international team of astronomers led by Stefan Kimeswenger from the Department of Astro and Particle Physics, together with scientific amateurs, has identified a new…
Referred to as “China’s Venice of the Stone Age,” the Liangzhu excavation site in eastern China is considered one of the most significant testimonies of…
Very recently, researchers led by Markus Aspelmeyer at the University of Vienna and Lukas Novotny at ETH Zurich cooled a glass nanoparticle into the quantum…
Two-dimensional supersolid quantum gas produced in the laboratory for the first time. Quantum gases are very well suited for investigating the microscopic consequences of interactions…
How are negatively charged molecules created in interstellar environments? Interstellar clouds are the birthplaces of new stars, but they also play an important role in…
In a few years, a new generation of quantum simulators could provide insights that would not be possible using simulations on conventional supercomputers. Quantum simulators…
The magic of mathematics is particularly reflected in magic squares. Recently, quantum physicist Gemma De las Cuevas and mathematicians Tim Netzer and Tom Drescher introduced…
Not least because of the COVID-19 pandemic, conspiracy theories are more topical than ever. They are reported and discussed in almost all media and communication…
Archaeological evidence in a rock shelter at the edge of the Kalahari Desert, South Africa, is challenging the idea that the origins of our species…
Ice is a very versatile material. In snowflakes or ice cubes, the oxygen atoms are arranged hexagonally. This ice form is called ice one (ice…
Even computers can miscalculate. Already small disturbances change stored information and corrupt results. That is why computers use methods to continuously correct such errors. In…
The entire endemic megafauna of Madagascar and the Mascarene islands was eliminated during the past millennium. To investigate possible drivers of this extinction, an international…
Method can be directly applied in existing experimental platforms Nowadays, modern quantum simulators offer a wide range of possibilities to prepare and investigate complex quantum…
Scientists have removed an important obstacle to the practical use of nanooptical traps. Nanooptical traps are a promising building block for quantum technologies. Austrian and…
Physicists at the University of Innsbruck are on the hunt for nitrogen containing molecules in space. Using terahertz spectroscopy, they directly measured two spectral lines…
