New technology from the University of Graz reveals the hidden properties of tumour cells

It sounds like science fiction, but it could advance cancer research in the future: a team at the University of Graz, led by physicist Jan Enenkel, is developing a new laboratory device using laser technology that can be used to examine individual tumour cells. The idea is reminiscent of the medical tricorder from the Star Trek film series – albeit as a high-precision measurement platform. A spin-off fellowship from the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG) is supporting the development of the technology at the University of Graz with around 500,000 euros.

Four introduced species of leafhoppers newly discovered in the Botanical Garden Graz

They have travelled to Europe as stowaways via international trade and are now rapidly taking over large parts of the continent: more and more insects from other parts of the world are becoming established here. Biologist Gernot Kunz recently discovered four species for the first time at the University of Graz Botanical Garden: the American grapevine leafhopper (Scaphoideus titanus), the wounded leafhopper from North America (Erasmoneura vulnerata) and the Japanese grape leafhopper (Arboridia kakogawana) – all three specialising in vines – as well as the Indian leafhopper Pediopsoides sharmai, which is associated with walnut trees.

Researchers at the University of Graz impress with their AI expertise

Wie aus Abgasen Rohstoff werden soll

Kohlendioxid gilt als Klimaproblem. Es kann aber auch Rohstoff sein. Der Grazer Chemiker Johann Hlina untersucht, wie sich Kohlenoxide wieder in Kohlenwasserstoffe verwandeln lassen – also in Ausgangsmaterial für Treibstoffe, Kunststoffe und Medikamente. Helfen sollen dabei Seltenerdmetalle
