Wie aus Abgasen Rohstoff werden soll

Kohlendioxid gilt als Klimaproblem. Es kann aber auch Rohstoff sein. Der Grazer Chemiker Johann Hlina untersucht, wie sich Kohlenoxide wieder in Kohlenwasserstoffe verwandeln lassen – also in Ausgangsmaterial für Treibstoffe, Kunststoffe und Medikamente. Helfen sollen dabei Seltenerdmetalle

The Arctic up close: ORF special feature on the University of Graz’s research station in S

Students from the University of Graz are spending two weeks conducting research at the Univerisity of Graz research station at the Sermilik Fjord in Greenland, which has been operational for three years. They are measuring glacial runoff, tracking ice melt in real time and installing weather stations. ORF is following the expedition and will be reporting on the special feature ‘Arctic Adventure’ across its various channels from 20 July.

Chemical crash: Researchers at the University of Graz are investigating the reactions in detail for the first time

Matthew Timm and Leonhard Grill have, for the first time, succeeded in unravelling how fundamental chemical processes take place and how new molecules are formed. The findings of this study have just been published in the journal Science.

What is ‘Dr AI’ supposed to decide, Giovanni Rubeis?

Analysing X-rays, documenting diagnoses, searching through databases: artificial intelligence is already providing significant support with administrative and routine tasks in the healthcare sector. To what extent should it be involved in clinical matters – that is, in treatment recommendations or treatment decisions? How do we prevent built-in biases that could be detrimental to certain individuals?

Commissioned by NATO: University of Graz tests high-tech textiles

As part of an international project, antimicrobial and fire-resistant fabrics with UV protection are being developed in Zagreb. Pharmacists from the University of Graz are ensuring that these fabrics are skin-friendly.

Medicine for ants: Caffeine prolongs the life of infected insects

Black coffee stimulates us and acts against bacteria. So, can caffeine also be good for insects? Yes, confirm biologists of the University of Graz. When ants suffer from a fungal disease, they consume more caffeine and remain active for longer.

How formulas are making medicine more personalised

When Federica Caforio talks about the heart, it doesn’t sound like an operating theatre, but rather like equations, parameters and simulations. Yet this is precisely where the medical promise of her research lies: one day, clinical data will be used to create a digital twin of the heart – a virtual model that will enable a better understanding of diseases and allow for more personalised treatment plans. She will be presenting her research at the ‘ECMTB 2026’ mathematics conference.

University Spin-Off Company “Innovation Hub Graz” works to make Spin-Offs investor ready

The Medical University of Graz, University of Graz and TU Graz are once again joining forces to establish a joint Innovation Hub Graz (iHub Graz). At this transfer centre, selected, particularly promising university spin-offs are specifically prepared to be investor ready.
