Racing electrons under control
Physicists at FAU precisely control electrons on a time scale of less than one femtosecond In future, electronics will be controlled via light waves instead of voltage signals: This is the goal of physicists worldwide. The advantage: Electromagnetic waves of light oscillate at the petahertz frequency. This means that future computers could be a […]

New web archive with photographic plates from the Astronomical Collection at FAU now available online
Digitalisation of the sky If you look up at the sky on a clear night you can see stars, lots of stars. Astronomical recordings from observatories let you see them in much greater detail. The Dr. Remeis Observatory in Bamberg, which belongs to Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, owns approximately 40,000 historical photographic plates, a genuine treasure trove […]

Light provides spin
FAU researchers decipher the dynamics of electrons in perovskite crystals Physicists at FAU have proven that incoming light causes the electrons in warm perovskites to rotate thus influencing the direction of the flow of electrical current. They have thus found the key to an important characteristic of these crystals, which could play an important role […]

Symposium for the Science of Light
From July 23 – 26, 2018 the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light is celebrating three important anniversaries in Erlangen optics: 150 years of optics research in Erlangen, the 15th anniversary of the establishment of the Max Planck Research Group for Optics, Information and Photonics (the precursor of the Max Planck Institute for […]

Two letters from Erlangen in february issue of Nature Physics
Two letters from Erlangen physics groups have made it into the february issue of the journal Nature Physics. This is extremely exceptional as letter contributions are quite rarely in the highly renowned journal (total number of 6 in this issue). The contribution entitled “Quantum imaging with incoherently scattered light from a free-electron laser” from the […]

Video recording of the 2017 Christmas lecture now online!
The Christmas lecture 2017 of the Physics department “Schrödinger’s cat – a journey into quantum physics” is now online available at the video portal of FAU. Here, also the Christmas lectures of the past two years and very first Christmas lecture from 2001 can be viewed (sorry, in German only). The department is very grateful […]
