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 scientists nominated for 2018 German Future Prize

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)’, ...

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...

New DFG Funding Atlas confirms top rankings FAU is among the universities in Germany that receive the highest amounts of third-party funding from research funding organisations and government ministries, especially in the field of engineering. FAU is ranked first in Bavaria in this respect. These a...
