Zeilingers Lehrer spricht am 7. Dezember an der Universität Graz

Am 10. Dezember nimmt Anton Zeilinger den Physik-Nobelpreis entgegen. Was es mit dem Beamen auf sich hat, erzählt sein Lehrer Herbert Pietschmann bereits drei Tage zuvor an der Universität Graz, in einem auch für Lai:innen verständlichen Vortrag. Ein Spezialgebiet des 86-jährigen emeritierten Physik-Professors ist die Quantenmechanik, eine Grundlage für Zeilingers weitere Forschungen. Der Nobelpreisträger konnte nachweisen, dass sich zwei räumlich getrennte Teilchen wie eine Einheit verhalten. Diese Erkenntnis kann für bahnbrechende Technologien wie den Quantencomputer genutzt werden.

Vortrag zum Nobelpreis der Physik (in der Reihe „Facetten der Physik)

Mittwoch, 7. Dezember 2022, 17 Uhr
Hörsaal 05.01 am Institut für Physik der Universität Graz, Universitätsplatz 5

Greenery on the rise: over 500 new flowers, perennials and shrubs on campus

Bright blooms and fresh greenery make our hearts beat faster in spring. But it is not just us humans who delight in this colourful growth. For many animals, this splendour provides, above all, food and habitat. There has recently been an increase in this on the University of Graz campus. More than 500 native flowers, perennials and shrubs have been planted on strips of fallow land around Universitätsplatz 2.

Around the world in eight stops: the Long Night of Research at the University of Graz

On 24 April from 5 pm, you can take a short trip around the globe at the University of Graz, discovering pecularities of foreign countries or new local features in the entrance hall of the University Library. The itinerary takes you through introduced animal species, political attitudes and the omnipotence of algorithms. There will also be a programme in the historic reading hall, as well as at the UniGraz@Museum and the University Archive.

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.
