When studying bilayer graphene FAU researchers made an exciting observation which provides the key to understanding a mysterious phenomenon in solid-state physics: the unusual behaviour of electrical resistance in magnetic fields.
Dr. Davide Amato has been the scientific director of the Addiction Medicine Laboratory since 2010 at the Psychiatric and Psychotherapeutic Clinic at FAU University Hospital. The research focus of the Italian is in the field of neurochemistry of schizophrenia and its pharmacotherapy.
It is not about sunlight but X-rays: FAU researchers, together with colleagues from Austria and Switzerland, have demonstrated for the first time that a type of semiconductor that is normally used in solar cells is also sensitive to X-rays.
A team of researchers at FAU has produced molecular cages which can be decomposed in a controlled manner. This might make it possible to administer medicines through the skin which come into effect once they are inside the body.
In the new Collaborative Research Centre (SFB) 1181 'Schaltstellen zur Auflösung von Entzündung' (switching points for resolving inflammation) researchers from various areas of medicine and biology are investigating the basic mechanisms underlying the resolution of inflammatory responses.
In their research project 'Athanasius Werke' (Athanasius's works) theologists at FAU are investigating a turning point in church history: the controversy surrounding the proper understanding of the Trinity.
Almost half of the German population is overweight and at risk of developing diabetes or joint disorders such as rheumatism and osteoarthritis. A national project being led by FAU aims to investigate what causes and is related to these highly prevalent diseases.
At the end of the Cretaceous, 66 million years ago, a large meteorite impact event caused the most recent of five mass extinction events in the Earth's history. Palaeontologists from the Museum für Naturkunde in Berlin and from FAU have now carried out a detailed investigation of the ecological shifts in the oceans for the first time.
Chemists and physicists at FAU are investigating singlet fission, a process in which one photon excites two electrons
