New in Erlangen: panOPTICUM – getting to grips with research Using targeted thermal radiation to make popcorn pop, discovering everyday objects from a completely new perspective under the microscope or using lasers to make lights dance – all of these involve optics. At various interactive stands, t...

Last week, the International Conference on Quantum Cooperativity of Light and Matter took place at the Physics department in Erlangen. After a warm welcome by Prof. Dr. Joachim von Zanthier (speaker of TRR 306 QuCoLiMa), Prof. Dr. Kai Phillip Schmidt (speaker of FAU Profile Center Light.Matter.Qu...

F1 in schools is the largest technology competition for schools worldwide. Teams of 3-6 students design a miniature car and send it into the race. Similar to the big Formula 1, a comprehensive set of rules must be obeyed. The cars are powered by opening a CO2 cartridge, and the car then races along ...

Neutrino Research and Non-Hermitian Topological Phenomena. Grants from the European Research Council (ERC; Europäischer Forschungsrat) are highly competitive. Receiving them not only gives new impetus to the research of the awarded scientists through the high funding sums of up to 1.5 million euros...

Silicon carbide (SiC) has developed into a high-performance semiconductor technology in recent years. This goes hand in hand with excellent monocrystalline wafer material and continuously improving process technology as well as understanding of SiC’s fundamental material and device physics. However,...

What do the digitization of agriculture, differential equations and electromagnetic radiation have in common? These are three fields of outstanding pre-scientific work with which students from the Nuremberg metropolitan region have won a Dr. Hans Riegel subject prize. A total of 18 papers in the sub...

The PHYsics DIversity NEtwork (PHYDINE) aims to highlight, discuss, inform and raise awareness of various aspects of diversity at the Department of Physics across structures and open to all members by building a network. PHYDINE consists of a digital and an analogue level. On the digital level, ther...

An international research team including the QOQI team has succeeded for the first time in using X-rays for an imaging technique that exploits a special quantum property of light. As the researchers write in the journal Physical Review Letters, this technique could enable imaging of non-crystallized...

With great sadness we learned that our former colleague, Professor Paul Müller, passed away at the age of 74. Paul Müller’s life and career was strongly bound to the Physics Department at Friedrich-Alexander Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg. He studied physics and received his doctorate in Erlangen ...

Do our physics curricula provide the appropriate data management competences in a world where data are considered a crucial resource and substantial funding is available for building a national research data infrastructure (German: Nationale Forschungsdateninfrastuktur = NFDI)? Although basic data e...
