Graphene is a promising material for use in nanoelectronics. Its electronic properties depend greatly, however, on how the edges of the carbon layer are formed. Zigzag patterns are particularly interesting in this respect, but until now it has been virtually impossible to create edges with a pattern...

Prof. Dr. Jörg Libuda accepted the offer for a full professorship (W3) at the newly established Chair of Interface Research and Catalysis. Prof. Libuda has been Professor of Physical Chemistry (W2) at the Chair of Physical Chemistry II since 2005. Besides other awards and commitments, he has been sp...

Dr. Sunghwan Shin has been awarded an Alexander von Humboldt Research Fellowship for Postdoctoral Researchers grant. Born in Korea, he started working at the Chair of Physical Chemistry II since 2018 in the group of Prof. Dr. Hans-Peter Steinrück; the scholarship will start February 1, 2019 for the ...

The Department of Chemistry and Pharmacy wishes all students and employees happy holidays and a successful start to the New Year. From December 24, 2018 up to and including January 6, 2019, there will be no lectures and the FAU administration will be closed. From Monday, January 7, 2019, all events,...

Working together with external partners, chemists, materials scientists and chemical engineers at FAU have developed an innovative microcell for water electrolysis.They hope to replace standard plate electrodes used to split water into oxygen and hydrogen with compact, nanostructured tubes. They aim...

Extracting hydrogen using water electrolysis, that is separating water into oxygen and hydrogen using electric current, could contribute to making energy generated from renewable sources more efficient and cheaper to store in future. This method is still too costly at the moment. An interdisciplinar...

Aging and a low life expectancy are caused, at least partly, by oxidative stress. A team of researchers led by Prof. Dr. Ivana Ivanović-Burmazović of the Chair of Bioinorganic Chemistry at FAU, together with researchers from the USA, have discovered that zinc can activate an organic molecule, helpin...

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...

The Jungchemikerforum Erlangen-Nürnberg (JCF) announces the Habilitandenabend 2018. All students have the opportunity to get informed about young group leaders and their respective fields from inorganic, organic and physical chemistry, thin film materials and solid state physics. Additionally, you w...
