Researchers successfully film the generation of electrical energy from light, providing a fundamental understanding of the physical processes involved in organic solar cells. The study, published in Physical Review X, reveals the spatial distribution and temporal evolution of excitons in the first moments of their existence.
A new study highlights the importance of fair distribution of carbon dioxide removal rights among countries to halt global warming. The researchers found that unequal allocation can entrench inequality, shifting the climate burden onto future generations.
Climate researchers developed a new method for computing hazards from extreme events, finding a tenfold increase in extreme heat over Europe. The study provides a basis for better quantifying damage to people, ecosystems, and infrastructure.
A framework has been developed to calculate fair distribution of the remaining greenhouse gas budget among European regions. The 'Equal Transition Opportunity Production-Based Allocation' (ETOPA) mechanism takes into account regional economic structures and risks in the transition to a climate-neutral economy.
Researchers at the University of Graz and the University of California, San Diego have developed a novel method to determine omega positions of lipids in complex biological samples. This breakthrough enables the study of biological mechanisms in unprecedented detail, particularly for inflammation-related diseases.
Researchers at the University of Graz have developed a new benchmark timeseries that tracks global surface air temperature change from 1850 to 2034. This enables reliable monitoring of the Paris climate goals, which are set to be exceeded by 2028. The study proposes a four-classes assessment scale to gauge compliance with the agreement.
A study by Andreas Koeberle and colleagues reveals that certain natural substances can increase polyunsaturated fatty acids in cancer cell membranes, making them susceptible to ferroptosis, a type of cell death. This discovery creates new avenues for treating therapy-resistant tumours.
A new study by the University of Graz finds that long-lasting intense cut-off lows will become more frequent in the Northern Hemisphere due to climate change. These storms can lead to prolonged heavy precipitation and increased flood risk in regions such as Canada, northern Europe, Siberia, and China.
Scientists at the University of Graz successfully transfer single organic molecules along a specific direction on a silver surface, demonstrating precise control over their movement. The experiment uses electrostatic forces to move molecules up to 150nm with high precision and speed.
