Coming home to roost with mum
For the first time, scientists are able to evaluate the social behaviour of bats in the wild without interruption Biologists are using miniaturised tracking sensors to investigate maternal care in bat colonies. Scientists from a research group of the German Research Foundation (DFG), coordinated by FAU, equipped mother bats and their offspring with sensors to […]

Habilitation award winners 2018: PD Dr. Karsten Müller
Institute of Separation Science and Technology What was the subject of your habilitation thesis? There are generally a large number of approaches that can be used to (further) develop technology. However, not all of them have a great deal of potential. The aim, therefore, is to identify which approaches really have potential and which of […]

A golden age for particle analysis
Engineers at FAU develop a process to measure nanorods quickly and accurately Process engineers at FAU have developed a method which allows the size and shape of nanoparticles in dispersions to be determined considerably quicker than ever before. Based on gold nanorods, they demonstrated how length and diameter distributions can be measured accurately in just […]

Engineers at FAU develop new baking method for improved energy efficiency in ovens
Today’s special offer – the energy-saving bread roll You don’t necessarily think about energy efficiency and protecting the environment while taking a bite of your bread roll at breakfast time. But baked goods, or rather the baking process itself shouldn’t be underestimated – only a third of the heat generated by conventional ovens is used […]

Using fine-tuning for record-breaking performance
Researchers at FAU achieve highest certified efficiency of organic solar cells to date Materials scientists at FAU have achieved a new record in the performance of organic non-fullerene based single-junction solar cells. Using a series of complex optimisations, they achieved certified power conversion efficiency of 12.25 percent on a surface area measuring one square centimetre. […]
