The PhD students Samuele Spreafico and Andreas Ziegler belonging to Project L attended this years international summer school which is organized every two years within the research of Computational Atomic-scale Materials Design (CAMD) at Technical University of Denmark. The major focus of this su...

The UN formally approved a resolution declaring the year 2022 as the International Year of Glass to celebrate the heritage and importance of this material in our lives. And yet many glass factories are struggling to survive. High energy costs and considerable CO2 emissions mean that glass production...

This year the IEEE International Symposium on Applications of Ferroelectrics was held in Tours, France from June 27-July 1, 2022. This international conference aims to bring together leaders from academia, national laboratories and industrial research and development sectors. The conference covered ...

The International Research Training Group (IGK 2495) “Energy Conversion Systems: From Materials to Devices” at the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg offers 12 doctoral researcher positions for various projects related to electro-mechanical and electro-optical energy harvesting syste...

On May 21st, 2022 from 6pm till midnight, the Long Night of Sciences was held in the region of Nuremberg, Fürth and Erlangen after pausing during the tough period of the pandemic. At the Long Night, large scientific institutions like the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg hold lect...

Prof. Dr. Paul Steinmann, IRTG PI in Project B, has been awarded an Advanced Grant from the European Research Council (ERC). Professor Steinmann intends to use the funding worth 2.5 million euros to investigate the fracture mechanics of soft materials such as rubber or tissue more intensively during...

As part of the collaboration between FAU and Nagoya Institute of Technology, Japan, the IRTG offers four new interdisciplinary graduate level lectures on device development and advanced characterization methods in the summer semester 2022. Those week-long lectures (5 ECTS) will be given by a joint F...

Every other year the photonics community comes together to share and discuss current research, hear the latest breakthroughs, and connect with colleagues at the SPIE Photonics. This years SPIE Photonics Europe was held in person in Strasbourg, France. The invited talk by Dr. Cicconi from April 4,...

A new article from Project H and Project I about the “Determination of site occupancy of boron in 6H–SiC by multiple-wavelength neutron holography” has been featured on the cover of Applied Physics Letters. Using neutron holography, they have succeeded in observing the peculiar structure formed a...

We congratulate Dr. Yuta Yamamoto from Project H for successfully defending his doctoral dissertation titled “Local structure analyses of perovskite materials using atomic resolution holography” on 26th March 2022.
