Artificial intelligence is expected to accelerate the search for the perfect material for solar panels by a factor of ten. An interdisciplinary team from FAU is working on this. Researchers from materials science, engineering, chemistry, and computer science aim to implement a digital twin that bett...

Prof. Dr. Alessandro Del Vecchio dedicates himself to researching how the central nervous system and muscles work together to make us move. His work currently includes two projects aiming at developing intelligent neuro-orthosis for patients with neuromotor impairments to their hands. Now, the head ...

Female students preparing for Master and State exams, who aim for a doctorate, are invited to submit their applications now for the program perion October 2024 –...

The sun is one of the most important sources for renewable energy, solar energy is a central component of the energy transition. The most efficient solar module in the world at the current time has been developed by a researcher at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) in close col...

Researchers at FAU hope to develop a new procedure aimed at gaining pure hydrogen from biological waste. Many of the methods used to date require high temperatures of 600 degrees Celsius and more. They are therefore not particularly suitable for decentralized use, for example on farms. However, that...

Since 2022, Friedrich-Alexander-Universität (FAU) and Nagoya Institute of Technology (NITech) have worked on developing a joint doctoral program that allows both FAU and NITech doctoral researchers to obtain a bi-national doctoral degree following the Cotutelle de Thèse model jointly from both unive...

Prof. Dr. Aldo R. Boccaccini, Chair of Materials Science (Biomaterials) at FAU, has been elected Fellow of Biomaterials Science and Engineering (FBSE) by the International Union of Societies for Biomaterials Science and Engineering (IUSBSE), the highest honor the global biomaterials community can be...

Researchers in the collaborative research center 1411 “Product design of disperse systems” have successfully applied for funding for a further four years. This CRC was established at FAU in 2020. The researchers’ long term vision is to develop material particles with a tailored size, shape and co...
