FoE Advanced Material Science

Planet Research

Research in the Field of Expertise Advanced Materials Science aims to improve existing materials and to design them to be lighter, more flexible, cheaper or more robust. The researchers work primarily with materials for the areas of energy technology, electronics, lightweight construction and medical technology in basic and application-oriented research.

Anti-Ageing for fuel cells

Vanja Subotic is conducting research on ageing in fuel cells at an early stage, halting it, and in the best case scenario reversing it. She has received the Josef Krainer Promotion Prize 2019 for her work.   Read more 10. April 2019

Pit stop for paper bags

What does industry-scale cement bag filling have in common with a pit stop in Formula 1? Filling a 25kg paper bag with cement in the factory takes about three seconds, about as long as a pit stop.   Read more 9. April 2019

Test tubes and crochet needles

Professionally speaking, chemist Beate Steller can look back on a successful year: she received several awards. At home, the 26-year-old prefers a quiet life and sees herself as “a bit of a granny”.

Battery-driven research at TU Graz

Batteries are a broad field of research. Energy storage systems of the future should be more powerful, more environmentally friendly, smaller and even safer – work is being done on this at TU Graz.
