Intramolecular reactions make it possible for solar energy to be transformed and stored in a single molecule. This may form the basis for constructing energy-storing solar cells. FAU is currently investigating this topic in two research projects.

FAU remains at the top of one of the most prestigious categories in the QS World University Ranking.

The collaborative research centre/Transregio 89 'Invasive computing' has been granted funding for a further four years. The DFG has provided 10 million euros for researching future parallel computing systems. The collaborative research centre/Transregio 89 is coordinated by the Chair for Hardware/Software Co-Design at FAU.

Exactly how electrocatalysts work is not yet fully understood. This could now all change with a new method developed by researchers from FAU and the Helmholtz Institute Erlangen-Nürnberg for Renewable Energy (HI ERN).

That certain medication poses a risk for safe driving is well known and also well researched. Less clarity exists about the adverse interactions for patients who take a combination of several different medications. This will be the subject of the study carried out by a team of researchers during the next six months.

A study conducted by the Institute for Biomedicine of Ageing at FAU investigated nutrition and nutritional care requirements in the elderly. The findings have now been published.

From 2004 to 2010, Dr. Aleksandra Mitrovic studied Chemistry at the University of Belgrade. Right after, she started her Ph.D. studies in Chemistry, also at the University of Belgrade. In 2017, Dr. Mitrovic defended her doctoral dissertation and received the best grade possible. Since 2017, she is a Humboldt Research Fellow at the Chair for Organic Chemistry II at FAU.
