Prof. Dr. Dirk Guldi and Prof. Dr. Jörg Libuda have been elected to the review boards of the German Research Foundation (DFG) for the membership period from 2024 to 2028. The review boards are responsible for evaluating proposals submitted to the DFG. They compare all proposals submitted in order...

Prof. Dr. Karl Mandel has received an ERC Consolidator Grant. Karl Mandel has been Professor for Inorganic Chemistry at FAU since 2020, and Head of the Particle Technology Group at the Fraunhofer Institute of Silicate Research ISC in Würzburg since 2014. He completed his doctoral degree in 2013 a...

Prof. Dr. Jörg Libuda, Chair of Interface Research and Catalysis, has been appointed to the Research Advisory Board of the Fonds der Chemischen Industrie (FCI) with effect from January 1, 2024. As a funding organization of the association of the German chemical industry, Verband der Chemischen In...

Grignard reagents are by far the most well-known organometallic compounds. Although more than hundred years old, these reagents are still today essential in organic synthesis and large scale industrial processes. These complexes are based on the metal magnesium but there is increasing interest in re...

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...
