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.

Teamwork in catalyst particles
Different components increase the capacities of tiny particles All football experts know that to be successful a team needs players with different skills. A similar rule evidently applies to complex chemical processes that can be accelerated with catalytic materials. These catalysts are composed of a range of components that are only a few nanometres in […]

1.4 million euros for graphene research
European Research Council rates research proposal as excellent Prof. Dr. Andreas Hirsch, from the Department for Organic Chemistry 2 at Erlangen-Nuremberg University, and his research team received an “Advanced Investigator Grant” from the European Research Council (ERC). The research project “Graphenochem” will be supported with over 1.4 million euros over the next five years. The […]

Mathematics onboard
EU PLATO-N project on software-supported structural optimisation Holes don’t weigh anything – that’s hardly surprising. But, if your aim is weight reduction, it becomes apparent how useful empty spaces can be. However, they don’t contribute to stability. That is why constructions that must be both resilient and as light as possible require the right balance […]
