Celestial spectacle witnessed

A recent study reports the first direct observation of merging star clusters in the nuclear region of dwarf galaxies in Nature. The team was studying observations from the Hubble Space telescope, which were led by Francine Marleau from the University of Innsbruck. This detection confirms the feasibility of this formation route for nuclei in dwarf galaxies, which has long been debated.

Hot Schrödinger cat states created

Quantum states can only be prepared and observed under highly controlled conditions. A research team from Innsbruck, Austria, has now succeeded in creating so-called hot Schrödinger cat states in a superconducting microwave resonator. The study, recently published in Science Advances, shows that quantum phenomena can also be observed and used in less perfect, warmer conditions.

High-Resolution Estimates of Anemia in Children in Low- and Middle-income Countries

Children living in poverty often suffer from anemia, a condition linked to serious health risks. A research team led by statistical experts from the University of Innsbruck has now provided high-resolution estimates of anemia prevalence among children in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. Their model-based analysis draws on a dataset comprising around 750,000 observations from 37 countries.

Event Tipp

Far-Right Catholicism and Trump

The relations between prominent US Catholics and the Trump movement has occupied the center of the debate within the Church in the USA, but it has important consequences also for European and global Catholicism.
The lecture will introduce to the roots of extreme conservatism within American Catholicism and their cultural and theological connections to the Trump-adjacent far right: the rejection of the Second Vatican Council, the resurgence of „Catholic integralism”, and a post-democratic political theology.
