FAU research group develops procedure for monitoring treatment of neuroretinal degeneration

Chemists, materials scientists and chemical engineers at FAU have developed an innovative microcell for water electrolysis. They have received 2.5 million euros in funding for their project aimed at replacing standard plate electrodes used to split water with compact, nanostructured tubes.

Each year during the Dies academicus, FAU´s birthday, the most outstanding habilitations from all five faculties are appreciated with prizes. In five short interviews, we introduce this year's winners. Today: PD Dr. Tassilo Schuster.

Researchers at FAU investigate how particles arrange themselves into complex structures.

Certain molecules with fluorine, chlorine or bromine, together with water, can release harmful substances into the atmosphere

Young female researchers are hosting the very first 'Women in Science Symposium' at FAU. The unique aspect of this symposium is that all the members of the organisation committee and all the speakers are women. In our interview, two members of the organisation committee speak about what they hope to achieve with the symposium and why it is so important.

Researchers at Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg and FAU are now researching how to innovatively design university-level teaching in this digital age. This research project, which will result in a coaching concept for students, is being funded by a grant worth 30,000 euros.

The FAU nominated mathematician Prof. Dr. Dr. hc. Enrique Zuazua has been selected for an Alexander von Humboldt Professorship endowed with up to 5 million euros.

A team of scientists led by Dr. Wulf Haubensak at the Research Institute of Molecular Pathology (IMP) in Vienna and Prof. Dr. Andreas Hess at FAU, have now identified a neuronal circuit in the brain that plays an important role in anxiety and demonstrated how common psychiatric medication acts on it.
