- In string theory, a paradigm shift could be imminent. String theory is said to be fundamentally incompatible with our current understanding of "dark energy”. A new paper in Physical Review argues that this conjecture seemed to be incompatible with the existence of the Higgs particle. https://www.tuwien.ac.at/en/news/news_detail/article/126224/ 5 comments space
- Scientists developed a medication that can alleviate or even completely eliminate the symptoms of celiac disease. It should be available as early as 2021. https://www.tuwien.ac.at/en/news/news_detail/article/126202/ 68 comments science
- Quantum jumps, when an electron absorbs a photon and "jumps" into another state, were regarded as instantaneous. Scientists have for the first time measured the duration of this 'photoelectric effect', first described by Einstein, in the attosecond range, a billionth of a billionth of a second. https://www.tuwien.ac.at/en/news/news_detail/article/126192/ 49 comments science
- Researchers from TU Wien and Harvard University have found a new way to transfer quantum information using sound. They propose using tiny mechanical vibrations. The atoms are coupled with each other by 'phonons' – the smallest quantum mechanical units of vibrations or sound waves. https://www.tuwien.ac.at/en/news/news_detail/article/125864/ 3 comments science

- It is difficult to produce a permanent magnet with a magnetic field of a specific pre-determined shape. Researchers used a 3D printer to make such a magnet. This allows magnets to be produced in complex forms and precisely customized magnetic fields, required, for example, in magnetic sensors. https://www.tuwien.ac.at/en/news/news_detail/article/124429/ 567 comments science

- The World’s Most Powerful Terahertz Quantum Cascade Laser "At the Vienna University of Technology a new world record has now been set; using a special merging technique, two symmetrical laser structures have been joined together, resulting in a quadruple intensity of laser light." http://www.tuwien.ac.at/en/news/news_detail/article/8468/ 9 comments technology
- A team of researchers has built a “Virtualizer”, which allows for an almost natural walk through virtual spaces. The user is fixated with a belt in a support frame, the feet glide across a low friction surface. Sensors pick up these movements and feed the data into the computer. http://www.tuwien.ac.at/en/news/news_detail/article/8393/ 38 comments technology
