Gene Analysis & Biostatistics - 3 Is Better Than 2 But Not Than 4 Three-stage procedures offer an optimal relationship between costs and benefits in analysing genetic influences in diseases and therapies, a fact that has major practical importance for the ever growing number of gene analyses. This finding from a current project by the Austrian Science Fund FWF was presented at the 5th |
| RNA Interference - Decision-Making Processes on a Molecular Level "How does RNAi work?" Researchers across the world have been trying to answer this question for a number of years. Science has now come closer to finding the answer thanks to a research group headed by Prof. Renée Schroeder (MFPL) and Dr. Javier Martinez (IMBA) based at the Campus Vienna |

Nanoscience in Austria leads the way Nickel-rhodium nanowires exhibit surprisingly high reactivity towards oxygen. As a result, they offer future development potential for new types of chemical catalysts. These findings were the result of research by an Austrian and Swedish research group who succeeded in growing one-dimensional nickel stripes on a rhodium substrate in a controlled |
Events taking place at the center of the Milky Way galaxy appear to counter General Relativity. Events taking place at the center of the Milky Way galaxy appear to counter the gravitational light bending rule of General Relativity. Additional findings show that fundamental principles of Mathematical Physics, Gravitation and Electromagnetism may have been either misapplied to the concept of gravitational lensing or just simply ignored.
