Santa Corp. has been booming ever since they developed faster-than-light sleigh travel. After his predecessor retired, the new Santa is overwhelmed by work, especially with an extra planet added to his route. Luckily, Noëlle and her father, a shifter at the HESS telescopes in Namibia, are on hand to...

Diversity (in) Physics There was significant interest among students and researchers at FAU: The symposium “Diversity in physics for the diversity of physics – Erlangen”, DIPHER 22 for short, took place for the first time from October 25 till October 27, 2022. The organizers had set themselves the ...

This year the Nobel Prize in Physics is awarded to three pioneers of quantum research. Their experiments are honored as groundbreaking not only for the better understanding of quantum mechanics but also as enabling the development of revolutionary new technologies – quantum technologies. If the now ...

The Physics Department  of the FAU will host the DIPHER-22 Diversity in Physics for the diversity of physics conference on 10/25-27/22. The department offers a wide range of diverse research topics: soft matter physics, physics of the universe, and physics of light and matter interaction. But the di...

How fast does a diode actually work? If it is operated under ideal conditions, it can be recharged up to 2 trillion times per second - until now, it has not been possible to go faster in conventional high-frequency circuits. Using a physical trick, a research team from Friedrich-Alexander-Universitä...

Physicist Prof. Dirk Englund has been selected for the most prestigious international research prize in Germany It is the ninth Humboldt Professorship for Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) and the sixth in a row for the University: physicist Prof. Dirk Englund has been selecte...

The lecture series "Our Physics – Our Research" (OPhOR) was initiated in the winter semester 2016/17, where scientists from the Department of Physics and the Max Planck Institute for the science of light present their current research areas. This is particularly interesting for Bachelor students in ...
