Are Batteries Safe?

Energy storage systems are becoming increasingly important, powerful and widespread. However, this also means that the demands on their safety and durability are growing.

Fairly Unknown, yet Rather Indispensable: Surrogates

Surrogates are substitute mixtures comprising a few chemical compounds that emulate the physicochemical properties of real mixtures which may consist of several hundreds or thousands of compounds.

Shape and Topology Optimization of Electrical Machines

In order to design machines which – depending on the concrete application – perform as well as possible, mathematical methods for the optimization of the geometry of the machines can be used.

Project MNEMONIC: Magnetic Porous Bio-Composites

Metal-Organic Frameworks, also known as MOFs, are attractive porous materials with huge implications for both basic and applied research.

New Contrast Agents for Magnetic Resonance

The FETopen CONQUER project launched at TU Graz three years ago was successfully completed by August 31st 2018.

Career: Lifelong learning Continuing Education Programme 2019

TU Graz’s 2019 training programme has 40 part-time master’s programmes, university course programmes, courses and seminars – from construction planning and programming languages to big data.

Bridging the gap: Prizes for gender and diversity

With four ‘Mind the Gap’ prizes, TU Graz rewards students and researchers who take into account aspects such as age, gender and culture in their theses or lectures.

… Microelectronics: The unsung hero of everyday life

Microelectronics from Austria? Really? Patrick Schrey is meanwhile wearily used to this reaction. For him, as an electrical engineer, it’s normal to be ever present but never seen.
