Transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) triggered large interest in condensed matter research since these twodimensional materials exhibit electronic states ascribed to 'topological invariants' of the particular crystal structure and facinating properties when prepared in the single-layer limit. S...

Welcome to the newses FAU EAM member Prof. Dr. Carolin Müller Carolin Müllers academic journey began at Friedrich Schiller University Jena, where she earned her Master of Science degree in chemistry in 2018. From 2018 to 2021, she delved into her doctoral studies at the same university, guided by B...

Zwischgold is an ultra-thin bilayer metal leaf that has been developed in medieval times as an alternative to gold leaves. It consists of a Au top-layer on Ag leaf. While it had been believed for a long time that zwischgold was a cheap mock of real leaf gold, it is more likely that it was often used...

Announcement EAM Starting Grant 2024/2025 Call for proposals (first summary May 31, 2024 - final deadline June 30, 2024) Dear FAU researchers, To support the most talented young scientists working in the field of new materials and processes, the FAU Competence Center Engineering of Advanced Mat...

Patchy colloids are particles that interact with preferred binding angles. We have developed a new Phase Field Crystal Model that can be used to predict the complex phases that occur in suspensions with such particles. In addition to isotropic, nematic, stripe, and triangular order, we have observed...

FAU chemists conduct research into novel approach of using an organic module for storing solar energy Until now, the generation and storage of electricity from solar energy has been dependent on various devices, leading to conversion losses. That may change soon: chemists at Friedrich-Alexander-Uni...

Our research covers electron acceleration with nanophotonic structures powered by laser light. We just demonstrated a scalable nanophotonic electron accelerator on a chip with a substantial energy increase of 43% from the initial energy of 28.4keV to 40.7keV . These low-cost accelerating nanostructu...

Welcome to the newses FAU EAM member Prof. Dr. Bastian Etzold Professor Bastian Etzold was appointed to the Chair of Power to X Technology at FAU in August 2023. Etzold graduated in chemical and biological engineering at FAU in 2004 and graduated in economics at the State Distance Learning Universi...

This image illustrates the crack pattern that emerges as a suspension dries. The system consists of interconnected particles held together by capillary bridges, which, upon evaporation, result in the formation of cracks. This simulation was programmed so that the arbitrary arrangement of the evapora...

FAU beteiligt sich an Wasserstoff-Technologie-Projekt zu emissionsfreien Antriebstechnologien in Deutschland Die FAU ist am Wasserstoff-Technologie-Anwenderzentrum (WTAZ) beteiligt, das in Pfeffenhausen im Süden Bayerns entsteht und gerade in die Umsetzungsphase startet. Das Ziel: Mittels der neuen...
