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.

Building biological bridges: Chemist discovers an ecological tool for the pharmaceutical industry

Building a relationship on a solid foundation is also important in chemistry. To produce medicines, disinfectants or plant protection products, stable bonds between carbon atoms must be formed. Conventional chemical methods rely on environmentally harmful reagents and solvents to carry out the desired reaction. This process also produces unusable by-products. Chemist Lilla Gal has discovered an enzyme that enables the same process to take place efficiently and sustainably. The results of her research were recently published in the prestigious journal Angewandte Chemie.

Higher Education Strategy 2040: Austria’s universities on course for the future

Austria has 77 higher education institutions, which is above the EU average – but does this really make sense? The new Higher Education Strategy 2040 focuses on cooperation rather than mergers. As one of the six largest universities in Austria, the University of Graz plays a central role in this.

Climate research in Greenland: Old data provides new insights

The polar explorer and University of Graz professor Alfred Wegener left behind a unique collection of climate data from Greenland. A research team from the University of Graz is now analysing this 100-year-old treasure trove of data and comparing it with current measurements.

Diversity in nature and science: How we talk about plants and each other

Ginkgo, kiwi, hemp: they exist as male and female plants. Anyone who paid attention in biology class will confirm this. But is this categorisation, established by Carl von Linné almost 300 years ago, still valid today? An interdisciplinary team at the University of Graz is questioning these attributions and using this as a starting point to provide food for thought for gender-sensitive interaction between students, scientific and teaching staff.
