Children who cannot move their hands, for example after suffering a stroke at a young age: Scientists from the Neuromuscular Physiology and Neural Interfacing Laboratory (N-squared Lab) at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) hope that impairments such as these will soon belong to...

Deepfakes are spreading rapidly and are increasingly difficult to detect. An IT forensics group at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) is currently working on a tool in conjunction with secunet Security Networks AG that detects images generated by AI automatically and reliably. T...

Noise, i.e., superimposing random fluctuations over signals, generally makes it more difficult to interpret information. Anyone who has tried to follow the news while listening to a radio program with a fuzzy signal knows that from their own experience. However, neural networks actually seem to bene...

A research team, including Prof. David Blumenthal from AIBE, has developed guidelines to prevent AI data leaks. These leaks occur when information is improperly transferred between training and test data, leading to unreliable results. Prof. Blumenthal emphasized that while popular ML frame...

The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation's Annual Meeting 2024 took place under the motto #AvHBridgeBuilders and was a celebration of encounters that enabled the Foundation's sponsorship recipients to get to know and meet other researchers - and Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier - in person. ...

The German Research Foundation (DFG) has extended the International Research Training Group 2495 “Energy Conversion Systems: from Materials to Components”. The Research Training Group was established at FAU in 2019. The objective of this research training group is to research electro-mechanical (...

The smartphone in your jacket pocket, LEDs for lighting your home and electronics for your charger, solar panels or your electric vehicle all have one thing in common: they depend on semiconductor materials and their properties. Researchers at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) ...

The American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) has named Professor Aldo R. Boccaccini, FAU Chair of Materials Science (Biomaterials), as a fellow and member of the College of Fellows. Election to the AIMBE College of Fellows is one of the highest professional honors bestowe...

Prof. Dr. Sannakaisa Virtanen, Chair of Materials Science and Engineering (Surface Science and Corrosion), has been awarded the Willis Whitney Technical Achievement Award by the Association for Materials Protection & Performance (AMPP). The award ceremony will take place on March 6, 2024. The aw...

Artificial intelligence is expected to accelerate the search for the perfect material for solar panels by a factor of ten. An interdisciplinary team from FAU is working on this. Researchers from materials science, engineering, chemistry, and computer science aim to implement a digital twin that bett...
