Supercomputers for alternative energy sources
FAU researchers are helping to improve computer simulations as part of a European centre of excellence Supercomputers are being used increasingly frequently in top-level research to perform highly-complex simulations. As part of the EU-funded cluster ‘Energy-oriented Centre of Excellence (EoCoE)’, FAU researchers are now attempting to further improve and expand the fields of application of […]FAU researchers are helping to improve computer simulations as part of a European centre of excellence Supercomputers are being used increasingly frequently in top-level research to perform highly-complex simulations.

Peter Felfer receives ERC Starting Grant of 1.5 million euros
A love of steel Is there anything new we can learn about steel? Peter Felfer, junior professor at the Chair of General Materials Science is often asked this question whenever he talks about steel, an area of research which he is particularly enthusiastic about. ‘Steel is of such importance that every development of this material […]

A materials scientist’s dream come true
Plasticity at the fingertips: Scientists at FAU directly control dislocations In the 1940s, scientists first explained how materials can deform plastically by atomic-scale line defects called dislocations. These defects can be understood as tiny carpet folds that can move one part of a material relative to the other without spending a lot of energy. Many […]
