Researchers discovered victims of Santorini volcanic eruption for the first time
Researchers draw a detailed picture of the devastation as a result of the devastating volcanic eruption on the Greek island of Santorini around 1600 BC in a new paper in the journal "PNAS". For the first time, the remains of the victims of the disaster were found - albeit in Çeşme-Bağlararası in what is now Turkey, 227 kilometers from Santorini. A young man and a dog were undoed by the devastation caused by several tsunami waves. Mehr
Quantum cryptography Records with Higher-Dimensional Photons
A research team at TU Wien developed a new quantum transmission protocol that allows a higher data transmission rate and is much more robust against interference. Mehr
The Quantum Refrigerator
A completely new cooling concept has been invented at TU Wien (Vienna): Computer simulations show how quantum fields could be used to break low-temperature records. Mehr
Twin atoms: A source for entangled particles
Quantum experiments that could previously only be performed with photons are now also possible with atoms: Beams of entangled atoms have been produced at TU Wien (Vienna). Mehr
Learning about Quantum Vacuum by Studying Atoms
The Unruh-effect connects quantum theory and relativity. Until now, it could not be measured. A new idea could change this - in a completely different way than ever before. Mehr
