Mit Zucker lassen sich besonders wirksame Antikörper formen. Wie das geht, das haben Wissenschaftler der FAU mit Forschern aus Schweden und Kroatien herausgefunden und im Fachjournal „Cell Reports“ veröffentlicht.

To build a particle accelerator the size of a shoe box – this is the goal of a research team being led by FAU and Stanford University in collaboration with eight international partners. The Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation is funding the project for the next five years with 13.5 million US dollars (approximately 12.5 million euros).

Climate change is progressing rapidly. It is not the first time in our planet's history that temperatures have been rising, but it is happening much faster now than it ever has before. Or is it? Researchers at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) have shown in the latest edition o...

At FAU, researchers at the Institute of Clinical and Molecular Virology at Universitätsklinikum Erlangen are working on a new HIV vaccination strategy that makes use of the immune response to a hepatitis B vaccine that has already been approved.

Several German banks are introducing new mobile banking apps but users should be cautious. IT security researchers at FAU have shown that the new app-based TAN system is not as secure as previous systems.

The climate phenomenon known as El Niño is feared across the world as it can cause extreme conditions such as droughts, storms, flooding or heatwaves. But how does it affect mountainous regions? An international team of researchers led by FAU is now investigating this question.

Turbulence does not just influence our comfort on flights, it also plays a key role in nature and in technology. An international research group involving researchers from FAU has now made a significant step towards understanding the phenomenon.

FAU is committed to ensuring that young researchers get the best possible start to their academic careers. A recent alumni conference at the University's Chair of Chinese Studies provides an excellent example of how this goal is being put into practice.

FAU researchers have succeeded in identifying microscopic crystals in butterfly wings. These results could be used in future in the design of new optical materials.
