Since March 2020, Prof. Dr. Petra Imhof has been appointed to the W2 Professorship of Computational Chemistry at the Department of Chemistry and Pharmacy. Prof. Imhof has also taken over the management of the Computer Chemie Centrum (CCC) in place of Prof. Clark. Petra Imhof studied chemistry at ...

Due to the Corona Pandemic, the application deadline for FAU's mentoring programme ARIADNEdoc/postdoc+ has been extended until May 15th, 2020. The 18-months programme is designed for female doctoral candidates, postdoctoral researchers and Habilitandinnen of the Faculty of Engineering and the Fac...

Catalysis is world-wide a multi-billion-dollar research field. FAU researchers have now published the very first book on catalysis with cheap, non-toxic, s-block metals. Metals like magnesium or calcium can in some cases replace toxic precious metals like palladium or platin. The book launched by Wi...

Plastic recyclates produced from waste packaging have to meet high sensory requirements for them to be used for new products. Plastic recyclates often have off-odours, some of which have yet to be identified. The Fraunhofer Institute for Process Engineering and Packaging IVV has analysed the sens...

The prospects of additive manufacturing (3D printing) as a versatile tool for prompt and inexpensive prototyping are extremely promising. This family of methods are set to make fabrication processes faster, more efficient in terms of the raw materials and energy required, and more flexible. However,...
