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.
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 Palaeoenvironmental Research at FAU have been able to discover more about how these organisms were able to grow and regenerate their teeth.
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.
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.
As part of the EU-funded cluster 'Energy-oriented Centre of Excellence (EoCoE)', FAU researchers are now attempting to further improve and expand the fields of application of mainframes for the research and development of the global energy supply of the future.
Chronic itching, or pruritus as it is known by its medical term, affects up to 25 percent of the population during the course of their lives and is often underestimated. The first team of researchers from Germany has now therefore joined forces to carry out research in this area as part of a translational project called PRUSEARCH.
Dr. Gonzalo Abellán Sáez from the Chair of Organic Chemistry II has been awarded one of the coveted ERC Starting Grants worth 1.5 million euros for research into two-dimensional materials.
Chemists at FAU have developed a process which can be used to significantly boost the performance of solar cells. Thanks to a process called singlet fission, researchers were able to double the number of electrons excited by incoming photons.
More and more elderly people are suffering from malnutrition. People who are unmarried, separated or divorced are most often affected. Those who have difficulty walking or coping with stairs or who have just returned home from hospital are also more likely to suffer from malnutrition than others of the same age.
