Lebendige Chemie

Wasser zerfällt in seine Bestandteile: Der Nachwuchsforscher liest mit Unterstützung von Wolfgang Kroutil ab, wie viel Wasserstoff und Sauerstoff sich bilden, seine junge Kollegin notiert die Werte an der Tafel.

Grazer VolksschülerInnen erlebten eine spannende Experimentalvorlesung an der Uni Graz

Wasser stand am 9. April 2013 im Mittelpunkt einer Experimentalvorlesung am Institut für Chemie der Uni Graz. Das Publikum: SchülerInnen der 3. und 4. Klassen der Volksschule Graz-St. Peter. 

Ao.Univ.-Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Kroutil verstand es ausgezeichnet, den Kindern zu demonstrieren, was Wasser alles kann, und ihnen damit die chemischen Eigenschaften dieses Elements auf lebendige Art und Weise näherzubringen.

Mit großem Interesse verfolgten die SchülerInnen die spannenden Versuche und waren begeistert über das eine oder andere Ergebnis, Knall und Stichflamme inklusive.

Als AssistentInnen standen Wolfgang Kroutil die Studierenden Barbara Grischek und Mag. Christoph Winkler zur Seite. Und auch auch aus dem Publikum holte sich der Chemiker Verstärkung.

Die Vorlesung wurde im Rahmen der KinderUniGraz veranstaltet und brachte somit AnwärterInnen für die KinderUni-Sponsion einen Punkt weiter auf dem Weg zu ihrem Ziel.

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.
