We are thrilled to announce that Professor Dirk Guldi has been awarded the prestigious Masuhara Lectureship at the ACP Conference 2025, held in Kochi, India. This esteemed recognition highlights his significant contributions to the field of photochemistry. During the conference, Prof. Guldi deli...

When the graphene lattice is divided into smaller, well-defined segments, so-called nanographenes and graphene nanoribbons are obtained. These structures bridge the gap between the molecular level of carbon-rich systems and the realm of carbon-based materials. The targeted synthesis of nanographene...

The chemical world of elemental carbon modifications—carbon allotropes—has grown remarkably diverse, extending far beyond the naturally occurring forms of diamond and graphite. In addition to these three-dimensional structures, synthetic nanostructures such as quasi-one-dimensional carbon nanotubes...

Dr. Sabrina Gensberger-Reigl and Dr. Hannah Zenker have been honored with the Renate Wittern-Sterzel Award by FAU for their pioneering in promoting equality and inclusion in research. At the Chair of Food Chemistry, the two scientists have established a maternity protection laboratory that enables ...

We are delighted to announce that Prof Dr. Dirk M. Guldi has been selected as the 2025 Edinburgh Instruments Lecturer in Photophysics and Photochemistry at Duke University. Established to honor scientists who have made transformative contributions to the fields of light–matter interaction, energy c...

Researchers working with particles and materials made from them have the opportunity to engage in intensive exchange at the annual Particle-Based Materials Conference PBM. This year, the conference was once again held in Erlangen and was organized by the Chair of Interfaces and Particle Technology ...

The Department of Chemistry and Pharmacy at FAU welcomes all Master's students for the winter term 2025/26 and invites all new first-year students of MSc. Chemistry and Molecular Science to the official introductory event on Friday, October 10, 2024. The welcome and information event will take plac...

The group has been awarded with the highest European Funding! Project MM-ZERO aims to develop main group metal chemistry in the zero-oxidation state. In contrast to transition metals, for which there are many examples of TM0 complexes, it is a challenge to isolate complexes of electron-rich main...

Whether in self-healing materials, targeted recycling processes, or even the cancer therapies of tomorrow – induction heating, the warming of magnetic materials through alternating magnetic fields, opens up countless possibilities. Until now, however, it was not possible to precisely control which ...

In the future, it may be possible to produce bioactive molecules and pharmaceuticals without relying on expensive enzymes or toxic metals as external catalysts. Chemists at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) have developed a procedure in which an in situ-formed organoautocatalys...
