More than just drying – spray-drying as a way towards multifunctional materials
Spray-drying is a method that has gained in importance and recognition especially due to its use as a drying tool in engineering or in multiple processes in pharmaceutical and food industry. This procedure is based on the encapsulation of various components in the confined space of a liquid droplet before the latter is evaporated in […]

Communicating supraparticles to enable perceptual, information-providing matter
Materials are the fundament of our physical world, whereas information and its exchange are the centerpieces of the digital world. Their fruitful synergy offers countless opportunities for realizing innovative concepts that aim at a more sustainable use of our natural resources. Examples of such concepts include the circular economy of materials, predictive maintenance and assisted […]

Prof. Dr. Danijela Gregurec receives EU Pathfinder Open Grant
Functional nanomaterials could soon control the activity of neurons in the brain. By using this minimally-invasive method, Prof Dr. Danijela Gregurec, Professor for Sensory Sciences at the Department of Chemistry and Pharmacy, hopes to revolutionize the treatment of neurological disorders such as depression, panic attacks, epilepsy or Alzheimer’s. In conjunction with researchers from Italy, Spain, […]Functional nanomaterials could soon control the activity of neurons in the brain.

Aluminium and iron: a strong team
Lithium aluminium hydride (LiAlH4) is a versatile bulk reagent for reduction of ketones to alcohols, or imines to amines. This is a stoichiometric process, needing a lot of LiAlH4 and creating quite some lithium and aluminium waste. Recently the Harder group showed that the imine-to-amine conversion under hydrogen only needs small catalytic quantities of LiAlH4 […]

FAU Research Center New Bioactive Compounds is launched
Research disciplines have to work together closely to develop new bioactive compounds. To make this collaboration even more efficient in the future, FAU has set up a new research center called “New Bioactive Compounds” (FAU NeW). In this center, successful international and interdisciplinary teams of researchers in pharmaceutical science, food chemistry and pharmacology at FAU […]

Using Chaos against Calcification
Calcite is the most stable mineral form of calcium carbonate encountered everywhere from ocean corral and oyster shells to hard water scale deposits in place such as pipes, showers, and dishwashers. When calcite precipitates from solutions of calcium carbonate the process begins with amorphous precursors. Special small molecule additives can disrupt this process and have […]
