Effective April 1, 2025, Prof. Dr. Karl Mandel has been appointed by FAU President Prof. Dr.-Ing. Joachim Hornegger to the Chair of Particle-Based Materials Chemistry (PBMC) at our Department. Since 2020, Karl Mandel has held a W2 professorship in Inorganic Chemistry, associated with the chair of Pr...

The German Bunsen Society for Physical Chemistry (DBG) has awarded the 2025 DBG Master’s Award to Mr. Daniel Schauermann. Each year, the society honors outstanding Master’s theses in the field of physical chemistry completed at German universities. Mr. Schauermann conducted his award-winning researc...

Perovskite cells may soon offer an alternative to silicon solar cells. These semiconductors are cheaper to manufacture and feature a high degree of efficiency and a high defect tolerance. This means that defects in the crystal lattice structure barely reduce their performance. One disadvantage, howe...

Chemists use pressure to reveal the mechanisms behind electron transfer – an important step towards controlling energy conversion and redox catalysis. They form the basis of many fundamental processes in life. Without them, cell respiration and photosynthesis would be impossible. Redox reactions ...

Digital teaching methods are playing an increasingly important role in higher education. To further optimize training in food chemistry lab courses, a combination of the flipped classroom approach and electronic lab notebooks (ELN) has been developed. This innovative concept enhances the efficiency ...

As a reminder: A few years ago a team around Professor Sjoerd Harder reported a breakthrough in the chemistry of magnesium (Nature 2021, 592, 717). Magnesium (Mg), which in chemical compounds is always charged 2+, was stabilized in the zero oxidation state and found to react as a nucleophile instead...

The Department of Chemistry and Pharmacy wishes all students and employees a happy and peaceful holiday season and a successful start to the New Year. From December 20, 2024 up to and including January 6, 2025, lectures will be suspended. The Student Service Center Chemistry and Molecular Science wi...

The research team from Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU), the Helmholtz Institute Erlangen-Nürnberg (HI ERN) and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) led by Prof. Dr. Dirk M. Guldi and Prof. Dr. Christoph Brabec has developed a closed-loop workflow that can be used to fi...

The Department of Chemistry and Pharmacy at FAU welcomes all Master's students for the winter term 2024/25 and invites all new first-year students of MSc. Chemistry and Molecular Science to the official introductory event on Friday, October 11, 2024. The welcome and information event will take place...

A team of scientists from the Department of Chemistry and Pharmacy, in collaboration with colleagues from Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic, have made a significant advance in understanding future hydrogen storage technology. Their latest research, published in the ACS Energy Letters, rev...
