The researchers used the process to observe cancer cells as they moved through artificial tissue, allowing them a more detailed insight into the behaviour of the cells than is possible with methods that have been used previously.
From 6 to 10 July 2015, around 200 experts from all over the world will be meeting at the Loops '15 conference in Erlangen to discuss the results of the latest research in quantum gravity. The general public are also invited to attend the public lecture by Italian researcher Prof. Carlo Rovelli at 8.30 p.m. on 9 July (subject to a fee).
Many medical students show symptoms of stress-related disorders such as depression and anxiety, even in the early stages of their studies. These are the findings of a recent study by researchers at FAU. In their work the researchers also developed strategies that students can learn at an early stage to reduce stress-related risk factors.
When studying bilayer graphene FAU researchers made an exciting observation which provides the key to understanding a mysterious phenomenon in solid-state physics: the unusual behaviour of electrical resistance in magnetic fields.
Dr. Davide Amato has been the scientific director of the Addiction Medicine Laboratory since 2010 at the Psychiatric and Psychotherapeutic Clinic at FAU University Hospital. The research focus of the Italian is in the field of neurochemistry of schizophrenia and its pharmacotherapy.
It is not about sunlight but X-rays: FAU researchers, together with colleagues from Austria and Switzerland, have demonstrated for the first time that a type of semiconductor that is normally used in solar cells is also sensitive to X-rays.
A team of researchers at FAU has produced molecular cages which can be decomposed in a controlled manner. This might make it possible to administer medicines through the skin which come into effect once they are inside the body.
In the new Collaborative Research Centre (SFB) 1181 'Schaltstellen zur Auflösung von Entzündung' (switching points for resolving inflammation) researchers from various areas of medicine and biology are investigating the basic mechanisms underlying the resolution of inflammatory responses.
In their research project 'Athanasius Werke' (Athanasius's works) theologists at FAU are investigating a turning point in church history: the controversy surrounding the proper understanding of the Trinity.
