From now until April 15, 2020, female doctoral and postdoctoral researchers of the Faculty of Engineering and the Faculty of Sciences can apply for the next round of the FAU mentoring programme ARIADNETechNat doc/postdoc+. The 18-months programme starts in October 2020 and ends in March 2022. The of...

A team of researchers at the Department of Physics has developed a method which can be used to reliably measure the speed of electron transfer between two materials. This could lead to the development of innovative electronic components with ultrafast transfer rates. The results were published in th...

The prospects of additive manufacturing (3D printing) as a versatile tool for prompt and inexpensive prototyping are extremely promising. This family of methods are set to make fabrication processes faster, more efficient in terms of the raw materials and energy required, and more flexible. However,...

The Chair of Mineralogy invites to the guest lecture given by Prof. Barbara Lothenbach (Empa, Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology). The lecture will take place in the lecture hall of Geology (01.011), Schlossgarten 5a, Erlangen on January 20th, 2020 at 5:15 p.m. Prof. Lot...

A medicine is being developed at FAU which controls the concentration of oxygen radicals in immune cells, and could revolutionise treatment of inflammatory diseases or even cancer. The ‘NeutroCure’ project has received funding of approximately three million euros from the European Union as part of t...

Infectious diseases triggered by bacteria and other microbes are the most frequent cause of human mortality across the globe. Roughly half of the world’s population carry the bacteria Helicobacter pylori (H. Pylori) in their stomach, known to be the most significant risk factor for ulcers, MALT lymp...

After three months of space flight, the time has finally come: The first pictures of the space telescope eROSITA, which FAU also designed components for, have arrived. Scientists were able to observe the Large Magellanic Cloud with the telescope’s seven X-ray detectors. With eROSITA, astronomers can...

Universities and major IT companies have been investigating computers that store information in quantum states rather than as binary sequences for more than two decades. A research team at Google has now successfully used a quantum computer in a computing operation that would have taken thousands of...
