Quick, concise, clear: doctoral students present research in 3 Minute Thesis Competition

The Three Minute Thesis Competition (3MT) presents doctoral students with a challenge that they are not usually faced with in research: to keep it very short, reduce it to the essentials and present it in a simplified, generally understandable way. They have three minutes to present the topic of their dissertation, a single PowerPoint slide is allowed, creativity is desired and English is required as the language of presentation. On 14 March 2025, nine doctoral students took to the stage at the Literaturhaus Graz for the competition organised by the Doctoral Academy.

Sensitive and strong: physicists at the University of Graz create basis for new sensors

Sensors play a crucial role in all areas of modern technology. The more precisely they respond to the smallest changes, the higher the quality and performance of an application – whether in devices for facial recognition at the airport or for detection of viruses. Researchers in the field of nanooptics at the University of Graz have now found a solution for further optimising sensors. The current study was published in the renowned scientific journal Physical Review Letters.
