Gas will play a crucial role as an energy source over the coming decades. But how can the German gas network be prepared for the growing demand? This is the subject of research being carried out by mathematicians from FAU, TU Darmstadt, TU and HU Berlin and WIAS Berlin.

Severe diarrhoea, stomach pain, cramps – these are the most common symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) such as Morbus Crohn or Colitis ulcerosa. A new collaborative research centre at FAU is focusing on this area.

Intramolecular reactions make it possible for solar energy to be transformed and stored in a single molecule. This may form the basis for constructing energy-storing solar cells. FAU is currently investigating this topic in two research projects.

Biotechnologists at FAU have successfully developed proteins that function like a shuttle and release medication directly in the place in the body where they are actually needed

FAU remains at the top of one of the most prestigious categories in the QS World University Ranking.

The collaborative research centre/Transregio 89 'Invasive computing' has been granted funding for a further four years. The DFG has provided 10 million euros for researching future parallel computing systems. The collaborative research centre/Transregio 89 is coordinated by the Chair for Hardware/Software Co-Design at FAU.

Exactly how electrocatalysts work is not yet fully understood. This could now all change with a new method developed by researchers from FAU and the Helmholtz Institute Erlangen-Nürnberg for Renewable Energy (HI ERN).

That certain medication poses a risk for safe driving is well known and also well researched. Less clarity exists about the adverse interactions for patients who take a combination of several different medications. This will be the subject of the study carried out by a team of researchers during the next six months.

A study conducted by the Institute for Biomedicine of Ageing at FAU investigated nutrition and nutritional care requirements in the elderly. The findings have now been published.

A delegation from Chonquing University of Posts and Telecommunications (CQUPT) in China visited the Faculty of Engineering at FAU on 17 May 2018.
