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.

Moving towards 80,000 Hours of Fuel Cell Operation and Beyond

Hydrogen and fuel cell technologies as viable and sustainable approaches to a renewable energy supply chain are experiencing unprecedented attention. As the industry is growing, its view is becoming…

Foundations for Modern Distributed Computing

Many of today’s and tomorrow’s computer systems distribute data to several machines, or the systems are built on top of large-scale networks, such as the internet or sensor networks.

Computational Models of Neurons and Astrocytes in Studying Brain Dynamics in Health and Disease

Astrocytes are non-neuronal brain cells that contribute to the exchange of neurotransmitters and ions. They are involved in various cognitive functions like sleep and memory formation.

Linear and 3D Defects in Piezoelectric Materials: Useful Imperfections

It is our imperfections that make us humans interesting. A similar statement can be made for many electroceramics.

From Bosnia to Austria

Two and a half years ago I came to Graz where I study at TU Graz. In this time I have learned so much – not only about mechanical engineering but also about the right mindset for this big change. Let…

Aircraft in Radio Contact: TU Graz Develops Simulation Tools for Transponder Occupancy

If aircraft disappear from radar, it may be due to overloaded transponders. TU Graz has developed a simulation tool for Austro Control to determine the transponder occupancy. This tool is now being…

Euro NCAP Welcomes New Member Austria

Euro NCAP is expanding the network of member states, regions, mobility clubs, consumer organizations and auto insurers that work together to advance road safety. Also thanks to intensive efforts by TU…
