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...

This year, the competition "Jugend forscht" for the region of Middle Franconia took place over two days at the Department of Physics at FAU. On February 27 and 28, the young researchers presented their projects in the assembly hall of the new building of the Erlangen Center for Astroparticle Physics...

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...

"Mach dir einen Kopf! (Make up your mind!)" - this is the motto of this year's "Jugend forscht"  and "Schüler experimentieren" competitions. On February 27 and 28, 2024, Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) will host the regional competition in Middle Franconia for the first time...

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...

Johannes Bartl investigates the behavior of emperor penguins Johannes Bartl is a physics doctoral student at FAU and a member of a team that uses high-resolution cameras to study emperor penguins and their behavior. Their habitat is under severe threat due to climate change: if the ice at the South...

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...

After an exciting regional competition hosted by the Erlanger SchülerForschungsZentrum (Erlangen Student Research Center) and the regional GYPT base, three students from Erlangen and Nuremberg have qualified to take part in the national competition in Bad Honnef. At the annual nationwide physics ...

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...

Eileen Schneider, PhD-Student at the Lehrstuhl für Experimentalphysik of Prof. Janina Maultzsch, has been awarded the 2023 grant of the Dr. Isolde-Dietrich-Stiftung. The grant consists of the Phd-Student position and additional research funding for the next 4 years. The Dr. Isolde-Dietrich-Stiftu...
