FAU study shows that the extent of cross-linking between the polymer molecules is one of the key factors here. Soft materials like rubber or silicone tear easily under tensile stress.…

FAU-Physik wird mit über 900.000 Euro für zukunftsweisendes Projekt gefördert Ein Quantencomputer, gerade mal so groß wie ein Smartphone – wie das Realität werden könnte, erforschen Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler an…

Thanks to high-throughput experiments and machine learning, FAU researchers are accelerating the search for chemical compounds for high-performance elements. A team of researchers from Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU), the Helmholtz Institute…

Unlocking the Future of Catalysis with SCALMS (Supported Catalytically Active Liquid Metal Solutions): A Dynamic Approach to Heterogeneous Catalysis While catalysts significantly contribute to our daily lives, their impact often…

Solar cells typically base on a comparatively brittle, half-millimeter thick slice of silicon as the semiconductor. Exploiting alternative materials can provide flexibility as to the appearance of the cells such…

Host-guest recognition is an essential part of supramolecular chemistry which is concerned with the interactions and optimal design of host molecules for specific guest molecules. Here, we modelled a perylene…
