Funding for scientists in heart research Cardiac diseases such as heart failure affect the ability of the cardiac muscle to pump blood. This leads to an increased residual filling pressure in the muscle, which places strain on the cell walls. The scientists Prof. Dr. Oliver Friedrich, Chair of Medi...

The 2019 Shanghai Ranking has been published, and FAU is among the world’s top 100 universities in five subjects. Energy Science and Engineering, at 37, and Telecommunication Engineering, at 41, were ranked among the top 50. National improvement FAU has improved compared to other German universiti...

Scientists at FAU develop a method for accelerating deep learning processes. Deep learning involves machines learning using neural networks. However, they have to learn from scratch each time they are used in a different area. Researchers at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) h...

FAU researchers describe a further scenario for cluster formation Possibly one of the most intensively discussed topics in the field of physics is the effect of inelastic collapse in the dynamics of dissipative hard sphere systems, a particle model which is often used to simulate granular materials...
