Researchers at FAU are investigating healthy ingredients in beer win the research grant from the European Foundation for Alcohol Research and the European Brewery Convention, worth 60,000 euros.Continue
Combining two statistical methods that are fundamentally different. Dr. Elisabeth Waldmann from FAU has received the Freigeist Fellowship from the Volkswagen Foundation for her innovative and unusual research project.Continue
There was not a single paper mill in Amsterdam until the 19th century. Despite this fact, it was the location of the most important centre of the paper industry in Europe in the 17th and 18th century and Prof. Dr. Daniel Bellingradt from the Institute of Book Studies is conducting research to find out why.Continue
Advancing scientific collaboration and allowing experience to be gathered in an international environment – just two of the objectives of the MIT Germany Program, an initiative of the renowned MIT, in which FAU is also involved.Continue
Nanoparticles are to be used like transporters to deliver medication in a targeted manner exactly where it is required in the human body? The nanoparticles should react to ultrasound frequencies. This is what FAU researchers are currently working on.Continue
Researchers at FAU have discovered that proteins that were previously associated with longevity and anti-ageing also play an important role during the formation and positioning of synapses.Continue
The earliest predators appeared on Earth 480 million years ago – and they even had teeth which were capable of repairing themselves. A team of palaeontologists led by Bryan Shirley and Madleen Grohganz from the Chair for Palaeoenviromental Research at FAU have been able to discover more about how these organisms were able to grow and regenerate their teeth.Continue
Six percent of the world's CO2 emissions are generated by steel production. For this reason, researchers at FAU have now initiated the i3upgrade project in conjunction with partners from all over Europe to process the CO2 from the steel manufacturing process in order to reduce emissions.Continue
Physicists at FAU have proven that incoming light causes the electrons in warm perovskites to rotate thus influencing the direction of the flow of electrical current. This could play an important role in the development of new types of solar cells.Continue
