Molecular photoswitches are only nanometers in size and can change their structure and properties when exposed to light. Molecular photoswitches are of great importance in many applied areas ranging from the development of light-controlled drugs, solar energy harnessing, to the creation of optically...

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 ...

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 con...

Dr. Stephan Müssig, Department of Chemistry and Pharmacy, FAU, was awarded this year's first prize of the Nano Innovation Award of the Center for NanoScience. The prize for application-oriented nanoscience research is valued with 9,000 €. In his work, Stephan Müssig analyzed nanoparticle-based mi...

Molecular switches are molecules whose geometry, chemical, and physical properties can be intentionally altered by an external stimulus. Stimuli include light of defined wavelengths, pH changes, temperature, binding of metal ions, or electric current. The different stimuli and their combinations can...

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 de...

The Academia Europaea was established in 1988 and is the Pan-European Academy of Sciences Humanities and Letters. The object of Academia Europaea is the advancement and propagation ...

The Wöhler PhD-prize for the best dissertation in Inorganic Chemistry has been awarded to Dr. Bastian Rösch. Dr. Rösch received his PhD degree at the Chair of Inorganic and Organometallic Chemistry led by Prof. Dr. Sjoerd Harder. His thesis entitled „Moving Frontiers in Organometallic and Low-val...

"3D Printing and Electrochemistry", "Nano Drug Delivery" and "Supraparticles" are three of the research areas of professors at the Department of Chemistry and Pharmacy who have been newly appointed in the last three years. On April 14, 2023, the Department of Chemistry and Pharmacy cordially invites...

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...
