Chalcopyrites are a material class widely used in thin film solar cell manufacturing, with the most prominent industrially applied example being CIGS (CuInGaSe2). In order to maximize the effectiveness of these solar cells and minimize the cost, the search...
Operating Systems: The Key To A New World
IT is probably the fastest growing sector in the world. With new technologies being continuously developed, it seems we’ll just keep going forward. There is an issue, however. Since the birth of the internet we have been building up...
Dynamic Proactive Secret Sharing for Confidential Byzantine Fault-Tolerant Services using Multi-party Computation
New methods for blockchain technology and decentralized infrastructures emerged using Byzantine Fault-Tolerant (BFT) State Machine Replication (SMR), a reliable approach for creating trustworthy services. However, BFT SMR lacks secrecy protection, though it ensures integrity and availability even in the...
NutriBean+
Grain legumes have been of great interest to the European community as they show favourable nutritional and environmental traits. These crops, thus, are key to the Farm to Fork Strategy. The Sobrero and Marconi High Schools, with the assistance...

Hidden Agenda: TFA – The invisible danger in our water
The aim of our project is to survey trifluoracetate (TFA) concentrations in surface waters in the Vienna Basin for the first time in Austria and to investigate the impact of TFA on plants. Thus, it should be shown that...
Using network centrality measures as predictors of gene drive deployment outcomes
Gene drives are genetic constructs with super-Mendelian inheritance that can spread engineered alleles in wild populations to suppress disease vectors and invasive species, with deployment programs to begin within a decade. We developed a network-based model of gene drive...
