Europe builds a Time Machine

For the first time, scientists are able to evaluate the social behaviour of bats in the wild without interruption Biologists are using miniaturised tracking sensors to investigate maternal care in bat colonies. Scientists from a research group of the German Research Foundation (DFG), coordinated by...

Institute of Separation Science and Technology What was the subject of your habilitation thesis? There are generally a large number of approaches that can be used to (further) develop technology. However, not all of them have a great deal of potential. The aim, therefore, is to identify which appr...

How particles arrange themselves into complex structures

Engineers at FAU develop a process to measure nanorods quickly and accurately Process engineers at FAU have developed a method which allows the size and shape of nanoparticles in dispersions to be determined considerably quicker than ever before. Based on gold nanorods, they demonstrated how length...

Today's special offer – the energy-saving bread roll You don’t necessarily think about energy efficiency and protecting the environment while taking a bite of your bread roll at breakfast time. But baked goods, or rather the baking process itself shouldn’t be underestimated – only a third of the he...

Researchers at FAU achieve highest certified efficiency of organic solar cells to date Materials scientists at FAU have achieved a new record in the performance of organic non-fullerene based single-junction solar cells. Using a series of complex optimisations, they achieved certified power convers...

Gaining unknown insights When bones break more easily in old age, osteoporosis is often to blame. However, the cause of the disease and how it develops is not yet sufficiently understood. An interdisciplinary team of scientists at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) and the Helm...
