Karl Mandel has been Professor for Inorganic Chemistry at FAU since 2020, and Head of the Particle Technology Group at the Fraunhofer Institute of Silicate Research ISC in Würzburg since 2014. He completed his doctoral degree in 2013 a...

FAU researchers use optical cavities in order to control the electrical conductivity of materials

Two ERC Starting Grants for Prof. Dr. Danijela Gregurec and Prof. Dr. Anna Nelles

Immunoglobulin G antibodies (IgB) play an important role as drivers of inflammation in infectious diseases and autoimmune diseases. However, if the same immunoglobulin antibodies from the blood plasma of healthy donors are cleansed and injected into a patient’s bloodstream, they exhibit anti-inflamm...

By superimposing two laser fields of different strengths and frequency, the electron emission of metals can be measured and controlled precisely to a few attoseconds. Physicists from FAU, the University of Rostock and the University of Konstanz have shown that this is the case. The findings could...

More than two million euros in funding for Humboldt Professor Enrique Zuazua

Research disciplines have to work together closely to develop new bioactive compounds. To make this collaboration even more efficient in the future, FAU has set up a new research center called “New Bioactive Compounds” (FAU NeW). In this center, successful international and interdisciplinary teams o...

The right temperature matters – whether in technical processes, for the quality of food and medicines, or the lifetime of electronic components and batteries. For this purpose, temperature indicators record (un)desired temperature increases that can be read out later. Researchers in the group led by...
