Light field-fast computing
Simulating complex scientific models on the computer or processing large volumes of data such as editing video material takes considerable computing power and time. Researchers from the Chair of Laser Physics at FAU and a team from the University of Rochester in New York have demonstrated how the speed of fundamental computing operations could be […]

Jets remain a mystery
A new DFG research group led by Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg (JMU) is investigating ultra-high energy jets. Two astrophysicists from FAU are also involved. The research group will be funded with a total of 3.6 million euros over the next four years. Black holes can be found in the centre of nearly all galaxies. They have an […]

Chiral Faraday effect confirmed in an experiment
Physicists at FAU have for the first time been able to prove a long-predicted but as yet unconfirmed fundamental effect. In Faraday chiral anisotropy, the propagation characteristics of light waves are changed simultaneously by the natural and magnetic-field induced material properties of the medium through which the light travels. The researchers obtained proof that this […]

When clouds collide
A triangular structure in the largest satellite galaxy surrounding the Milky Way has left astrophysicists around the world puzzled due to its unusually energetic X-ray emissions. FAU researchers have now investigated this phenomenon using the ESA XMM-Newton X-ray observatory and can reveal that it is caused by the collision of two gas clouds, which will […]

Kick-off event for QuCoLima
The kick-off meeting of the Collaborative Research Center/Transregio TRR 306 “QuCoLiMa” (Quantum Cooperativity of Light and Matter) took place digitally on Friday, March 19, 2021. TRR 306 QuCoLiMa was established beginning of this year, together with the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light and the Universities of Mainz, Saarbrücken, Linz, Jena, TU Kaiserslautern, and DESY Hamburg, with […]The kick-off meeting of the Collaborative Research Center/Transregio TRR 306 “QuCoLiMa” (Quantum Cooperativity of Light and Matter) took place digitally on Friday, March 19, 2021.
