FAU scientist and H.E.S.S. team observe time-dependent particle acceleration outside our solar system for the first time Novae are powerful eruptions on the surface of a white dwarf in a binary star system, in which a larger star and a smaller star orbit each other. A nova creates a shock...

On the occasion of this year’s APS March Meeting and the DPG Spring Meetings, QuCoLiMa partnered with APS-TV to produce a 6 minute film about the research within QuCoLiMa. The overall message of the film is to convey the central idea of “Quantum Cooperativity of Light and Matter” and how this topic is investigated in...

Consortium publishes the first X-ray data from eROSITA The German eROSITA consortium, including researchers from FAU, has released the first set of data taken by the eROSITA X-ray telescope, which can scan the entire sky in the X-ray range. Researchers across the globe can now access data from the telescope....

The Department of Physics at FAU is involved in the FAIRmat project, which was selected on Friday, July 2, 2021 by the Joint Science Conference (Gemeinsame Wissenschaftskonferenz – GWK) in a multi-stage competition of the National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI). The project will receive funding to set up an infrastructure...

Organisms of varied size rely on different techniques to swim efficiently. The macroscopic world comprising of land and aquatic mammals, as well as bacteria and sperms in the microscopic realm have been investigated extensively for their swimming dynamics. However, the dynamics of organisms in-between these two extremes elude physical descriptions....
