20.000 Gäste besuchten das UniGraz@Museum seit 2011

"Ja, ich habe jeden Besuch sorgfältig notiert", sagt Mag. Franz Stangl, Kustos im UniGraz@Museum im Hauptgebäude der Universität Graz. Kein Wunder, dass Stangl genau wusste, wann der 20.000 Besucher die Schwelle des Museums überschreitet. Die Rekordbesucherin - die 20.000 um genau zu sein - heißt Anita Sallat und kam mit ihrer Klasse der Neuen Mittelschule St. Johann aus Graz-Mariatrost am 27. Juni an die Uni Graz, um mit den SchülerInnen der 4a die frisch eröffnete Ausstellung "Weltrekorde im Sport" zu besuchen. Der Leiter der Grazer Universitätsmuseen, Ao.Univ.-Prof. Dr. Nikolaus Reisinger, überreichte ihr als Geschenk das Buch "Physik des Sports", das von Uni-Graz-Physiker Leopold Mathelitsch und der Sportwissenschafterin Sigrid Thaller verfasst wurde.

Jurassic Sounds: Biologist reconstructs insect songs from 165 million years ago

It was apparently not just the roars of the dinosaurs that made up the soundscape of the animal world during the Jurassic period. Crickets and grasshoppers communicated through a variety of songs and high-pitched sounds, as Thorin Jonsson from the Institute of Biology at the University of Graz discovered together with colleagues from the universities of Lincoln, Bristol (UK), Beijing (China) and Tempe (USA). The findings on what are so far the oldest traces of sound on Earth have just been published in the journal PNAS.

Rescue and risks: Researchers have surveyed public perceptions of AI

The use of artificial intelligence has had to be made transparent since 2 August 2026. The EU’s AI Act, which has been in force since then, also sets out how risky an application is and which security measures apply as a result. However, the assessment of risks by the legislation differs in some cases significantly from the perceptions of the Austrian public. This is the finding of a representative study carried out by data scientist Stefan Thalmann from the University of Graz and his team.
