Monolithic transistors
FAU researchers develop graphene silicon carbide transistors for high performance electronics Physicists from Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) have developed a procedure for manufacturing integrated high-performance circuits from graphene and silicon carbide. The study has been published in the ‘Nature Communications’ journal. Graphene is a one-atom-thick layer of graphite. The material has a several unique properties and […]FAU researchers develop graphene silicon carbide transistors for high performance electronics Physicists from Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) have developed a procedure for manufacturing integrated high-performance circuits from graphene and silicon carbide.

Unravelling the universe
FAU astrophysicists get involved in the Helmholtz Alliance Over the next five years the Helmholz Association is to provide around ten million euros in funding for a new Helmholz Alliance in the field of astroparticle physics. Scientists belonging to the Erlangen Centre for Astroparticle Physics (ECAP) at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) are major contributors to the […]

Spies cloaked in blue noise
Brownian movement under close observation The slightest trembling can tell us something. Tiny particles, dissolved in liquid, register what is going on in their surroundings, and react as a result. Without sophisticated measuring techniques and high precision instruments it is impossible to decode how their messages work. However, if successful, amazing discoveries await decryption experts. […]

Foam takes on real shape
Physicists and mathematicians research spatially complex structures What shape is a typical cell in foam? Knowing the answer to this question is very useful in creating parts that must be as light and, at the same time, as stable as possible. Mathematics and physics can provide a solid basis for these sorts of complex structures […]

Flat crystal with integrated electrode
Researchers pave the way for electronic circuits composed of graphene Graphene is one of the most promising new materials due to its physical and chemical properties. Researchers from the Friedrich-Alexander University of Erlangen-Nuremberg (FAU) have now developed a procedure which can systematically control graphene components using an integrated electrode – an important prerequisite for industrial […]Researchers pave the way for electronic circuits composed of graphene Graphene is one of the most promising new materials due to its physical and chemical properties.
