A new Erasmus+ partnership between the Chair of Food Chemistry at FAU's Department of Chemistry and Pharmacy and the Department of Food Science and Technology at Kasetsart University in Bangkok has been established. "We plan research co-operations on novel applications of plant proteins and stri...

Just as our hands are mirror images of each other, light itself can also exhibit mirror-image or “chiral” behavior. The controlled modulation of such chiral light signals plays an important role in sensor technology, asymmetric synthesis, and optical signal and information processing. A novel m...

At the ChemOnTubes 2026 conference, held in Prague from April 12–16, Dirk Guldi delivered a compelling presentation entitled “Carbon Dots in Action: Advancing from Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells to Photocatalysis.” His talk highlighted recent advances in the design and functional integration of carbon-...

We've developed shnitsel-tools: a powerful, user-friendly package for analyzing trajectory surface hopping simulations. No more tedious scripting or fragmented analysis! With shnitsel-tools, you can automate filtering, visualize dynamics, and uncover excited-state mechanisms across multiple molecules.

Dirk M. Guldi, Professor at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) and Spokesperson of FAU Solar, delivered a plenary lecture at the international conference MATSUS 2026, held in Barcelona, Spain, from March 23–27, 2026. As a leading expert in the field of functional carbon-rich ma...

It is taught at an early stage that main group atoms strive to collect eight electrons in their valence shell. This octet rule is the origin for the total inertness of the element Ne. It also explains the high stability of F– and O2– anions. However, when charges get higher the anions rapidly becom...

MSCA Staff Exchanges enable researchers to gain new skills, share knowledge, and build strong international collaborations. As part of SUSNAMU, Franziska Wasner is currently undertaking a one-month secondment at CIC biomaGUNE, gaining hands-on experience in key characterisation techniques. Her t...
