Refrigeration has a remarkable and often underestimated impact on global warming: globally, about 20% of the total electric energy is used for refrigeration. Additionally, conventional refrigerators work using a gas-compression cycle, and the corresponding working gas has a large global warming potential. Thus, working gas leakage leads to direct greenhouse […]

TU Darmstadt, TU Graz, JKU Linz and RICAM (ÖAW) collaborate in the first German-Austrian Collaborative Research Centre/Transregio CREATOR – Computational Electrical Machine Laboratory (TRR361/F90). It is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and the Austrian Science Fund FWF. The interdisciplinary project consists of 18 principal investigators and more than 20 doctoral […]
Read moreBackground One of the main ways mathematical advances have impact in science, engineering, society, and industry is via their implementation in software. In order to reward and recognise exceptional research in the development of mathematical software, the European Mathematical Society (EMS) and the European Consortium for Mathematics in Industry (ECMI) […]
Read moreBy Arkady Wey FiltrationFiltration is the separation of particles from fluid, usually by passing it through a membrane (Figure 1). It is used extensively for wastewater decontamination, and for harmful-particulate removal from exhaust gases in combustion plants. There are few larger problems facing humanity: The WHO has predicted that 10% […]
Read moreBy Torin Fastnedge and Chloe Bernard Research estimates suggest that up to 35% of the microplastics found in our oceans originate from our clothing, specifically microfibres, which are released during the washing machine cycle. Subsequently, these minuscule particles enter the water and are ingested by humans through our food and […]
Read moreby Ellen Luckins Following a chemical weapons attack, it is crucial for public safety that any hazardous chemical agent remaining in the environment is properly removed. In particular, if the hazardous agent has seeped into porous building materials such as plasterboard, brick, or concrete, it cannot simply be wiped away. […]
