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...

Controlled movements at the nanoscale are fundamental to a variety of biological processes, such as ATP synthesis – the universal energy carrier in our cells or cell deformations necessary for muscle contraction. All these processes are made possible by biological molecular machines that convert che...

Researchers from Friedrich-Alexander-University of Erlangen-Nuremberg (FAU) and the Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications provide important guidance for designing novel functional materials for triplet sensitizers and fluorescent sensors. Intersystem crossing is a significant photoph...

An international team of researchers including the Chair of Medicinal Chemistry (Prof. Dr. Peter Gmeiner) has succeeded in “filming” the activation of an important receptor. They froze the involved molecules at different points in time and photographed them under the electron microscope. They were t...

An interdisciplinary team of doctoral students from the FAU Profile Center Solar has won this year's Graduate School Molecular Science (GMSM) research project competition. The young scientists took part in the GSMS Winter School, which took place in Kirchberg, Austria, in January 2024. The aim of th...

Diseases are usually restricted to a certain organ or tissue in the human body. However, medications are typically not only administered to the site of disease but to the entire body. This can damage healthy tissue and cause unwanted side effects. To overcome this problem photopharmacology aims to d...
