Originating from the very successful Cluster of Excellence Engineering of Advanced Materials (2007-2019), the FAU Competence Center Engineering of Advanced Materials (FAU EAM) was established as research center at FAU in April 2022 to unite existing structures within the FAU Key Research Priority ‘New Materials and Processes’ with the aim to continuously develop fundamental research methods and provide high-class infrastructure.

FAU EAM, with the existing competence, will continue to act as nucleus for and backbone of new research initiatives and as hub for worldwide visible excellence in materials and process research. Therefore, a close research collaboration and mutual cross-fertilization of scientific knowledge will be established with the FAU Profile Center New Materials and Processes (FAU NMP).

Competence Centers have a cross-sectional function and provides expertise and support from basic research to the development of methods and instrumentation for the entire range of research carried out at FAU. An overview of all FAU profile, research and competence centers can be found on the FAU Research profile website.

September brought some changes within FAU EAM: We welcome Bastian Etzold (Chemical and Biological Engineering, Faculty of Engineering) and Jörg Libuda (Chemistry and Pharmacy, Faculty of Sciences) as two new Spokespersons of FAU EAM. Additionally, Lukas Pflug (Mathematics, Faculty of Sciences) will...

Most of the colors we encounter in daily life are produced by pigments, i.e., produce by the absorption of specific wavelengths of light. However, there are other forms of coloration, and one of them prevails in nature: structural color. This type of coloration is responsible for the vivid hues seen...

Acoustic levitation makes it possible to immobilize small objects without physical contact. Instead, a standing sound wave is used to counteract gravity. Researchers at FAU applied acoustic levitation to perform single droplet drying experiments. By that, the full drying process of a single colloida...
