International researchers involving Graz University of Technology have used radar data to determine which glaciers in High Mountain Asia are growing or shrinking in which season. For parts of Central…
Dust, pollen and bird droppings reduce the performance of solar modules, but automatic cleaning systems are expensive. Armin Buchroithner from the Institute of Electrical Measurement and Sensor…
Energy storage systems are becoming increasingly important, powerful and widespread. However, this also means that the demands on their safety and durability are growing.
In 2040, electricity production from solar installations will often significantly exceed demand, especially at midday. Robert Schürhuber from the Institute of Electrical Power Systems at TU Graz…
The charging process for electric cars is currently still an obstacle to their widespread use. An autonomous charging robot aims to make it easier, faster and more convenient.
Batteries undercut their theoretical capacity in practice, sometimes significantly. In a lithium iron phosphate cathode, researchers at TU Graz have now been able to observe exactly where the capacity…
Methanol, ammonia, and hydrogen are waiting in the wings to replace problematic heavy fuel oil in ship propulsion systems. In this interview Nicole Wermuth and Andreas Wimmer explain the differences…
For a long time, large engines only knew one operating condition: full load. Nowadays, though, they are used much more flexibly and can effectively balance fluctuating electricity production, in…
One of the first major studies on abrasion emissions from rail vehicles shows that a lot of particulate matter contaminated with heavy metals is produced especially along railway lines.
Researchers at the Vehicle Safety Institute will team up with national and international partners to make batteries safer, extend their service life and make them more sustainable. The FFG, the…
