FAU chemists are developing an artificial intelligence application which can predict which molecule structures will produce or suppress specific odours. The Volkswagen Foundation is funding the project.

The emission of electrons from an illuminated material was a driving element in the development of quantum mechanics. FAU scientists have successfully controlled the photoemission of nanotransmitters to an extent never before achieved.

With its competition ‘Quality in Studying and Teaching’ (Qualität in Studium und Lehre – QuiS), FAU aims to make it easier for new students to master the transition into studying, to reduce the drop-out rate and to make teaching more innovative. QuiS has received more funding.

Cholesterol can bind important molecules into pairs, enabling human cells to react to external signals. Researchers at FAU's Chair of Biotechnology have studied these processes in more detail using computer simulations.
