The earliest predators appeared on Earth 480 million years ago – and they even had teeth which were capable of repairing themselves. A team of palaeontologists led by Bryan Shirley and Madleen Grohganz from the Chair for Palaeoenviromental Research at FAU have been able to discover more about how th... Continue

They have thus found the key to an important characteristic of these crystals, which could play an important role in the development ... Continue

Dr. Gonzalo Abellán Sáez, Chair of Organic Chemistry II, has been fascinated by natural sciences from a very young age, possibly inheriting his talent and interest in science from his father, who was himself a chemistry professor. He is particularly interested in developing new materials and studyin... Continue
