Hungry? Curious about networking with other young researchers at FAU? This is the perfect event for you: Brown Bag Break on November 13th, 5 to 7 p.m. at lecture hall H2 at the Faculty of Sciences, (Egerlandstraße 3, 91058 Erlangen). Get to know researchers of different disciplines and nationa...

Collaboration in research Encourage and strengthen scientific collaboration, promote science at schools and offer students the opportunity to gather experience in an international setting whilst improving their teaching skills – these are just some of the objectives of the MIT Germany Program, an i...

Researchers at FAU have received DFG funding to investigate nanoparticles controlled by ultrasound Nanoparticles are to be used like transporters to deliver medication in a targeted manner exactly where it is required in the human body? All over the world, scientists are working on so-called drug d...

FAU is coordinating a project for using carbon dioxide efficiently and internally in steelworks. Six percent of the world’s CO2 emissions are generated by steel production. The use of renewable energy sources in the steel industry is thus very important for responding to climate change. For this re...

FAU researchers are helping to improve computer simulations as part of a European centre of excellence Supercomputers are being used increasingly frequently in top-level research to perform highly-complex simulations. As part of the EU-funded cluster ‘Energy-oriented Centre of Excellence (EoCoE)’, ...

A talk on scientific career planning and networking On July 16th 2018 the Brown Bag Break took place at the Faculty of Engineering of FAU. First, the young researchers were welcomed by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Marc Stamminger, Chair for Computer Science 9 (Graphic Data Processing). Following this, various se...

A love of steel Is there anything new we can learn about steel? Peter Felfer, junior professor at the Chair of General Materials Science is often asked this question whenever he talks about steel, an area of research which he is particularly enthusiastic about. ‘Steel is of such importance that eve...

Plasticity at the fingertips: Scientists at FAU directly control dislocations In the 1940s, scientists first explained how materials can deform plastically by atomic-scale line defects called dislocations. These defects can be understood as tiny carpet folds that can move one part of a material rel...
