FAU physicists discover simple propulsion mechanism for bodies in dense fluids.
A team of researchers from Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU), the University of Liège and the Helmholtz Institute Erlangen-Nürnberg for Renewable Energy have developed a microswimmer that appears t...
Materials scientist at FAU receives ERC Advanced Grant worth three million euros
Prof. Dr. Carolin Körner, Chair of Materials Science and Engineering for Metals at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU), and member of the EAM Executive Board, has been awarded an ERC Advanced Grant,...
Magnets could be used to remove plastic particles
Environmental pollution caused by microplastics and nanoplastics is a ubiquitous problem which cannot be tackled using currently available cleaning concepts. Researchers at FAU have now demonstrated how magnets could be used to remove plastic partic...
Rotating microrobots behave like water, oil and soap
You need soap to remove dirt from your skin. The surfactant molecules it contains squeeze their way into the surface area between the dirt and the skin and help to dissolve the dirt in water. Researchers at FAU and Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düss...
New QS subject ranking published
FAU has once again performed excellently in the QS World University Ranking by Subject 2021: Materials Science and Chemistry remain among the top 150, and Materials Science has even made it into the top 100. Several subjects are included among the best 100 in the ca...
We proudly welcome a new high-end TEM instrument to the IMN and CENEM. The new Thermo Fisher Scientific (TFS) Spectra 200 has been installed from September until December 2020, and, since January 2021, it started its operation in the CENEM labs located at the building of Interdisciplinary Center for...
Quantum cooperation, research into metastases formation and new catalysts
The German Research Foundation (DFG) has approved three new Collaborative Research Centres/Transregios (CRC/TRR) at FAU. The aim of CRC/TRR 305 is to understand the molecular mechanisms behind how metastases form and to devel...
Funding of new research projects – four EAM Starting Grants awarded
A successful EAM tradition has been revived in 2020: With the award of the EAM Starting Grant, young FAU researchers were given the chance to pursue their own research projects and thus gaining a boost for a successful academic car...
Bundestagsabgeordneter Stefan Müller zu Besuch an der FAU
Wie lassen sich ultradünne Beschichtungen von einigen Nanometern gezielt herstellen? Darüber hat sich der Erlanger Bundestagsabgeordnete Stefan Müller bei einem Besuch am Interdisziplinären Zentrum für Nanostrukturierte Filme (IZNF) der FAU ...
Over the next five years, the European Research Council (ERC) will provide an ERC Starting Grant of 1.76 million euros to support the outstanding research project of PD Dr. Benoit Merle, Chair of Materials Science & Engineering I (General Materials Properties) . Less than ten percent of the subm...
