Self-driven laboratories are current discussed as a fast and reliable methodology to overcome the limitation of classical high-throughput experimentation. In his most recent article in Advanced Materials, Stefan challenged a robot based high throughput process to identify the most photost... Continue

The current state-of-the-art X-ray to current converter technology is based on Cd(Zn)Te. The into crystalline wafer processed material, offers ideal properties but requires demanding production processes such as zone melting, the Bridgman method or epitaxial growth. Beside the high costs, most l... Continue

Until now, the perovskite community lacked cohesion and consistency in identifying key tests that could reveal failure modes specific to perovskite cells, which is both cause and consequence of the limited understanding of device degradation. More effort is needed to understand degradation mech... Continue

Shuai and Iftikhar had both worked during their PhD on multilayer coatings, though on very different applications. Iftikhar designed and processed multi-layer barrier coatings for organic electronics, while Shuai developed and demonstrated multilayer dielectric mirrors for vapor sensing and mic... Continue

The Highly Cited Researchers List 2019 lists the world's most influential researchers from 21 scientific disciplines. The department of Materials Science @ FAU is continuously ranked in that list consecutively for several years. This year, Prof Christoph J Brabec and Prof Patrik Schmuki have agai... Continue

FAU is presenting its ambitious goals to develop solutions to the energy and climate crisis on the recently released "Energy & Climate" homepage. You will find many interesting statements from researchers across all faculties and disciplines, who are united by sharing one common goal - ho... Continue
