Die Weltmeister stehen bereit: 2022 findet das nächste Nanocar Race statt, Leonhard Grill und sein siegreiches Team vom letzten Mal gehen wieder an den Start. Einen ersten Vorgeschmack gibt es heute bereits auf YouTube.

Mit Spitzen von 300 Nanometern pro Stunde und sechsmal schneller als das zweitplatzierte "Rennauto" bewältigte der Mini-Bolide des Teams um Leonhard Grill 2017 den ersten Nanoprix der Welt. Im kommenden Frühling soll der nächste Bewerb über die Bühne gehen. Die TeilnehmerInnen wurden auf YouTube präsentiert:

"Unsere Erfahrungen aus dem ersten Rennen und neue Labor-Experimente sind in das Design unseres neuen Molekülautos eingeflossen. Wir rechnen uns daher gute Chancen auf den nächsten Titel aus und wollen natürlich gewinnen", verrät Leonhard Grill.

Fair distribution: Researchers determine just greenhouse gas budgets for all EU regions

Ten years ago, on 12 December 2015, the Paris Climate Agreement was signed at the UN Climate Conference. In order to limit global warming to well below two degrees, only a certain amount of CO2 may be emitted worldwide. While the focus was originally on national emission targets, more than 200 subnational regions and almost 300 cities have now adopted their own targets. But how many emissions are they fairly entitled to? Researchers at the University of Graz have now developed transparent criteria for fair distribution at the subnational level for the first time and determined corresponding greenhouse gas budgets for all European regions. The paper was published today in the scientific journal Nature Communications.

Train by train: Koralm railway accelerates exchange between the Universities

Lectures at the University of Klagenfurt in the morning, seminars at the University of Graz in the afternoon: Austria's longest tunnel and a journey time of around 45 minutes make it easy. The Koralm railway increases the speed of networking between the two university locations. The collaboration builds on existing cooperation - for example in the areas of teacher training, Slavic studies and as employers, the universities are well coordinated.
