Peter Hommelhoff, holder of the Chair of Laser Physics at FAU from 2012-2024, has been awarded the Otto Hahn Prize 2025 for his pioneering contributions to the ultrafast control of electrons and the associated establishment of new areas of research. The award ceremony, which includes prize money of ...

Since the end of 2020, a great many people worldwide have been vaccinated against Covid-19, but until now the exact structure of these vaccines was not known. Prof. Dr. Tobias Unruh from the Chair of Crystallography at FAU and his team have now begun to rectify this. The results of these elaborate a...

NOMAD CAMELS is an open-source software developed by the Chair of Applied Physics within the FAIRmat project. CAMELS controls experiments and acquires measurement data with a focus on individual experimental setups consisting of many (measurement) instruments. A special feature of CAMELS is that the...

eRO-STEP research group from the field of astrophysics receives further funding Neutron stars, supernova remnants and black holes: they all emit X-rays that help physicists to draw conclusions about the development of the universe. Until now, they have focused on objects in the Milky Way and its ne...

NOMAD CAMELS is a new open-source software developed at the Chair of Applied Physics that generates future-oriented research data in line with the FAIR principles in a simple way during experiments. FAIR stands for Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable, which are key criteria for the subs...

Star corpses, jets of matter and white dwarfs Supernova remnants, black holes, neutron stars and the hot interstellar gas of the Milky Way and other galaxies - the sky is full of sources that emit X-rays. Researchers at the Dr. Karl Remeis Observatory - Astronomical Institute of the Erlangen Centre...

Physicists at MPL and FAU develop novel concept for detecting chiral molecules In contrast to conventional mirrors, light can be reflected on surfaces known as meta surfaces without changing its polarization. This has now been proven by physicists at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnber...

In science, the exchange of ideas and resources between researchers from different disciplines forms the foundation for progress and innovation. Cooperation not only increases efficiency, but also promotes new findings. This is why the FAU Profile Center Light.Matter.QuantumTechnologies (LMQ) suppor...

Silicon carbide (SiC) has developed into a high-performance semiconductor technology in recent years. This goes hand in hand with excellent monocrystalline wafer material and continuously improving process technology as well as understanding of SiC’s fundamental material and device physics. However,...
