New Method for Analysing Nanoporous Materials

Innovative method opens up new possibilities for materials science

22-Mar-2024 - Using only a single electron microscope image, researchers at TU Graz can determine the type and exact position of so-called guest atoms in high-tech materials. They also come closer to solving the mystery of the blue colour of aquamarine. In addition to their main components, the properties of ...

Electrons in quantum liquid gain energy from laser pulses

The findings open new doors for ultra-fast electron microscopy

14-Jul-2021 - The absorption of energy from laser light by free electrons in a liquid has been demonstrated for the first time. Until now, this process was observed only in the gas phase. The findings, led by Graz University of Technology, open new doors for ultra-fast electron microscopy. The investigation ...

Electromagnetic Fields of Nanostructures Visualized in 3D for the First Time

30-Mar-2021 - Researchers at Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) and the University of Graz, together with experts from France, have succeeded in imaging so-called surface phonons in three dimensions for the first time. The research success could accelerate the development of new, efficient ...
