RESEARCH AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL
Biomaterials Characterization Lab Our Biomaterials Labs are equipped with facilities for the quantitative characterization of suitable materials as well as the development and application of process technologies that are innovative and that can be validated. Furthermore, corrosion measurements on degradable implant materials and forming via "Equal Channel Angular Pressing" (ECAP) are possible, which significantly improves the mechanical properties of metallic biomaterials and non-biomaterials, such as hardness, compressive and tensile strength, as well as fatigue strength under completely reversed stress. The state-of-the-art laser lab researches and further develops syntheses of high-purity colloidal nanoparticles for biofunctionalisation and coating, e.g. in order to form antibacterial and antithrombotic surfaces, or as admixtures as nanoadditives.

City Intelligence Lab (CIL) – digital urban planning The City Intelligence Lab at the Center for Energy extends AIT's expertise in the area of "Digital Resilient Cities". The lab is an interactive platform for exploring new forms and technologies for urban planning practice of the future, and follows the approach of a co-creative development – joint creation of new knowledge. The platform is supported by the latest digital planning tools using Big Data and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Using digital technologies, it enables complex relationships to be made tangible and the residents to be directly involved in the planning process. The CIL is not only an international showcase laboratory, but also a valuable decision-making aid for developing answers to the central challenges of urbanisation, such as climate change.

The AIT laboratories use state-of-the-art technology and equipment and form an essential prerequisite for successful applied research and development. Here, the foundations for products, services, and solutions for tomorrow are laid, tested, and brought to series production readiness. The so-called “Large Research Infrastructure” is one of AIT's major unique selling points.
