Christoph Kratky über Röntgenlicht, das Atome sichtbar macht

Das Innenstadt-Lokal „Brot & Spiele“ wurde am 27. Oktober 2014 wieder zum Hörsaal. In einer neuen Ausgabe der Uni-Graz-Reihe „Wissensdurst – die Wissenschaftsviertelstunde im Pub“ hielt dieses Mal Univ.-Prof. Dr. Christoph Kratky, auch langjähriger Präsident des österreichischen Wissenschaftsfonds FWF, eine Kurzvorlesung mit anschließender Diskussion. Anlässlich des 100-jährigen Bestehens vermittelte Kratky sehr anschaulich die Röntgenstrukturanalyse, die Einblicke in die kleinsten Einheiten der Materie gewährt: „Im kristallisierten Zustand kann der atomare Aufbau durch die Streuung der Strahlung am Kristallgitter sichtbar gemacht werden. Das ist das derzeit bei rund 600.000 molekularen Substanzen möglich“, klärte der Forscher auf.
Kratky streifte auch andere Themen seines Fachs: „Die Chemie löst mittlerweile auch Probleme in den umgebenden Disziplinen, wie Life Sciences, und ist zum Ersatz von Technologien geworden.“

Die Veranstaltungsreihe „Wissensdurst – die Wissenschaftsviertelstunde im Pub“ ist Teil der 7. fakultät, des Zentrums für Gesellschaft, Wissen und Kommunikation an der Uni Graz. Das Projekt, von Dr. Wolfram Steurer initiiert, wird von den Studierenden Christian Fercher und Lukas Grumet geleitet.

Cosmetics in the environment: University of Graz proves danger to ants

Titanium dioxide, which is found in cosmetics, for example, is increasingly entering the environment in the form of nanoparticles. This could also put insects at risk. If ants ingest the substance in combination with the pesticide glyphosate, it disturbs the development of their offspring. Scientists at the University of Graz are drawing attention to the negative consequences of this toxic cocktail.
