➀ The Technical University of Graz (TU Graz) is developing a real-time lightning risk assessment system to improve safety at outdoor events and construction sites. ➁ The system uses a network of field meters and combines data from lightning location systems and weather radar to predict lightning strikes. ➂ The research aims to reduce downtime and enhance safety by providing more accurate forecasts.
Recent #TU Graz news in the semiconductor industry
➀ TU Graz has developed hardware for NIST post-quantum cryptography standards with additional security measures; ➁ The team is working on hardware-based coprocessors like KaLi to support PQC algorithms; ➂ They have also developed techniques like 'Kavach' to enhance the physical security of cryptographic implementations.
➀ Researchers at Graz University of Technology have developed more efficient and quieter miniature electric motors through innovative design, improved control technology, and new production techniques. These motors are used in a wide range of household appliances, tools, computers, and modern cars. ➁ The team reduced vibrations by modifying the claws of the motors, leading to a 70% reduction in noise. ➂ They also simplified the regulation of current flow, reducing switching losses and improving overall efficiency. The motors now require fewer capacitors, lowering costs.
