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,...

Consortium from Erlangen receives roughly 3 million euros from the Free State of Bavaria In recognition of our outstanding expertise in quantum research: a consortium consisting of eleven researchers from Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) will receive roughly three million eur...

Start of new ARIADNE programme rounds: Female students and young scientists from the Faculty of Engineering and the Faculty of Sciences can now apply for admission to a new round of the career mentoring programme ARIADNETechNat. The two qualification-specific programme lines will start in parallel i...

How fast does a diode actually work? If it is operated under ideal conditions, it can be recharged up to 2 trillion times per second - until now, it has not been possible to go faster in conventional high-frequency circuits. Using a physical trick, a research team from Friedrich-Alexander-Universitä...

Physicist Prof. Dirk Englund has been selected for the most prestigious international research prize in Germany It is the ninth Humboldt Professorship for Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) and the sixth in a row for the University: physicist Prof. Dirk Englund has been selecte...
