The prize for application-oriented nanoscience research is valued with 9,000 €. In his work, Stephan Müssig analyzed nanoparticle-based mi...

Molecular switches are molecules whose geometry, chemical, and physical properties can be intentionally altered by an external stimulus. Stimuli include light of defined wavelengths, pH changes, temperature, binding of metal ions, or electric current. The different stimuli and their combinations can...

To comply with the worldwide increasing demand for renewable energy, new tailor-made concepts are required to capture and store solar energy for different applications and at different scale. Beside the well-established approaches for energy storage, such as batteries or power-to-X, smart molecular ...

The extent to which smear infections are responsible for the spread of the coronavirus has not yet been sufficiently scientifically clarified. The research group of Prof. Dr. Karl Mandel, Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at the Department of Chemistry and Pharmacy, FAU, is investigating how infectio...
