What would our future look like if humanity had solved the climate crisis by "doing everything right" in terms of sustainability and resource use? Teresa Liberto provided some inputs to imagine the infrastructure of the future for the virtual reality project OUR EARTHS VR directed by Sebastian Pichelhofer. You can read more about the project, watch the trailer, and look at all the credits here: our-earths.com/en/home, And don't miss the projection of the film on ORF III on Sunday, 30.04 at 8:00 a.m.: tv.orf.at/program/orf3/pixelbytes138.html

Three of us attended the 32. Schleibinger workshop "Rheologische Messungen an mineralischen Baustoffen", on March 1st 2023 at OTH in Regensburg. Subhransu Dhar gave a talk on Heterogenous flows in sheared cement suspensions and Teresa Liberto on SAOS as a predictive tool to assess the residual reactivity in recycled binders. We also took this opportunity to visit the old center of Regensburg, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We stand here on the Stone Bridge (Steinerne Brücke), a 12th-century bridge across the Danube, a masterwork of medieval construction. Thank you for the organizer for this friendly and open workshop. We will be back!

Prof. Zhifang Zhao gave a presentation on the behavior of dam concrete. Prof. Zhao has started a 6-month sabbatical at TU Wien, as a joined collaboration between the groups of Prof. Pichler and Prof. Robisson. Together, they will explore the causes of early-age cracking in dam concrete, and the behavior of concrete containing nano-fillers.
