Women in Science – 1st Erlangen Symposium
Young female scientists of the Department of Chemistry and Pharmacy of Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg invite you to the first “Women in Science” Symposium of FAU. One of the outstanding characteristics of this symposium, which takes place from December 9th – 11th, 2018, is that the organizing committee consists exclusively of women and only female speakers, […]

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 is Prof. Dr. Geoffrey Lee, Chair of Pharmaceutics at FAU. The idea is that nanoparticles should react to ultrasound […]

“Green” Chemistry with Orange Balloons
Lithium Aluminium Hydride (LiAlH4) is one of the most potent reducing agents. It is routinely used in organic synthesis for the reduction of unsaturated to saturated bonds. For example, many amines can be prepared from imines by reaction with LiAlH4. Since the reagent needs to be used in larger (stoichiometric) quantities, also large amounts of […]

Electrifying Chemistry under the Looking Glass
The future perspective of chemistry is ‘electrifying’: With increasing availability of cheap electrical energy from renewables it will soon become possible to drive many chemical processes by electrical power. In this way, chemical products and fuels can be produced via sustainable routes, replacing current processes which are based on fossil fuels. In most cases, such […]

DFG supports new projects in molecular solar energy storage
Efficient storage of solar energy is the key challenge in our transition to a renewable energy system. Besides the conventional solutions, such as solar cells and batteries, innovative chemical concepts for energy storage may open new fields of application. For example, intramolecular reactions hold the potential to fuse solar energy conversion and storage in a […]

DFG supports research on novel nanolithography method
The controlled fabrication of structures with nanoscale functionality is one of the most intensely studied topics in modern nanoscience. The crucial issue is to prepare structures with defined chemical composition as well as stable, but nanoscale morphology. A novel approach is the controlled additive fabrication of metallic nanostructures with focused soft X-rays (focused X-ray beam […]
