Image sensor integrates artificial neural network

4/5/2021

Researchers at the Vienna University of Technology came up with an image sensor that includes an artificial neural network, speeding up the sensor's operation. The sensor is said to identify and classify images in a matter of nanoseconds.

Austrian engineers develop umbrella-like bridge

3/16/2020

Structural engineers at the Vienna University of Technology have developed a bridge that is built like a closed umbrella and unfolds before its hollow girders are filled with concrete. The technology was used on a bridge that spans a river in Austria.

Researchers develop concrete transition system for bridges

3/19/2018

Researchers at the Vienna University of Technology have developed a transition system at each end of a bridge that would eliminate the need for expansion joints. The transition system uses 20-30 concrete elements that distribute weight evenly across the bridge.

Austrian railway project uses first air cushion for support

12/22/2017

Austrian Federal Railways is using an air cushion technique developed by the Vienna University of Technology on a wildlife crossing over a new section of track on the Koralm railway. This is the first time the air cushion has been used instead of a traditional support structure in a real-life project.

Unique float system could put giant solar arrays offshore

4/26/2016

Flexible, open-bottom floats form part of a Heliofloat system that would enable massive solar arrays on the ocean surface to withstand even the roughest seas. Engineers at the Vienna University of Technology are working on the concept, which dampens rather than absorbs the kinetic energy of waves.

Research brings breakthrough in artificial blood vessels

8/7/2015

Artificial blood vessels that can degrade and be replaced by the body are on the way. Researchers at the Vienna University of Technology are developing vessels with electrospinning, which involves drawing liquids from a nozzle with an electric charge and transforming them into fine threads. The technique is familiar, but the challenge was finding just the right material that mimicked the qualities of natural blood vessels but degraded over just the right period of time.
