Effective method for removing nanoplastics and microplastics from water
Magnets could be used to remove plastic particles Environmental pollution caused by microplastics and nanoplastics is a ubiquitous problem which cannot be tackled using currently available cleaning concepts. Researchers at FAU have now demonstrated how magnets could be used to remove plastic particles of various types and sizes from water.

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 […]

Little helpers react to ultrasound
Researchers at FAU have received DFG funding to investigate nanoparticles controlled by ultrasound Nanoparticles are to be used like transporters to deliver medication in a targeted manner exactly where it is required in the human body? All over the world, scientists are working on so-called drug delivery technologies, as are researchers at FAU. The idea […]
