Novel Quantum Effect Found: Spin-Rotation Coupling
It was predicted 30 years ago, now the effect was measured for the first time by scientists at TU Wien (Vienna): The neutron spin exhibits inertial effects. Mehr
Geht das nicht genauer?
Das Motto der Naturwissenschaft: Was man messen kann, messen. Was man nicht messen kann, messbar machen. Und was man schon gemessen hat, noch einmal exakter messen. Mehr
Helmut Rauch - ein Nachruf
Die TU Wien, die Fakultät für Physik und das Atominstitut trauern um Professor Emeritus Dipl.-Ing. Dr.techn. Helmut Rauch. Mehr
Correspondence Artikel in Nature published to honor the 50th birthday of the ultracold neutrons
To honor this occasion, a famous birthday song has been composed again, using ultracold neutrons in a gravitational field. Mehr
Measuring the Laws of Nature
A physical constant, which is of great importance for basic research, has now be re-measured, with much higher precision than ever before. Mehr
The Conundrum of the Decaying Neutron
Can dark matter be created when neutrons transform into protons? This is a hotly debated theory – but new analyses from TU Wien do not support this idea. Mehr
Workshop on Matter-Wave Interferometry
The 2nd Informal Workshop on Matter-Wave Interferometry was held in the beautiful city of Vienna on Thursday May 23th and Friday 24th 2019 at the Atominstitut. Mehr
Atominstitut wird zur "EPS Historic Site" erhoben
Die European Physical Society erklärt das Institut nun zum Ort besonderer wissenschaftshistorischer Bedeutung – bei einem Festsymposium zu Ehren von Helmut Rauch. Mehr
No sign of Symmetrons
A high-precision experiment led by TU Wien has set its sights on pinpointing the so-far hypothetical "symmetron fields" using the PF2 ultra-cold neutron source at the Institut Laue-Langevin in France. For the existence of symmetrons could provide an explanation for the mysterious dark energy. Mehr
Neutrons for Science and Technology
This brochure of ENSA, the European Neutron Scattering Association, highlights some typical work from the academic and industrial user communities that has been chosen to illustrate the scope and potential of neutrons. Mehr
