On April 3rd, Annika Mauch and Frederic Dietrich, doctoral researchers of the CRC1411, introduced young female students to the fascinating world of structural color and porous materials during the "Girls' day". This nationwide event aims to encourage girls to explore careers in science, technology, ...
Researchers from the CRC1411 have teamed up with the renowned magazine GEO to co-author an article on structural colors in animals. The piece, published on GEO.de, explores the fascinating mechanisms behind the vibrant and shimmering colors found in nature.
Unlike pigment-based colors, structural c...
CRC 1411 is proud to announce that three of its doctoral researchers from the integrated Research Training Group in Particle Science and Technology (iRTG-ParSciTech) have garnered awards at two high-profile scientific meetings held in late February and early March.
A double success at home

Curious to know more about supraparticles? Here you can find a presentation from Prof. Vogel on the latest developments of his research. This talk is part of the session "Particles empowering tomorrow: Innovations for our global world" at ParTec 2025.
In October 2024, the iRTG-ParSciTech of CRC 1411 hosted its inaugural Summer School at the Fraunhofer Forschungscampus in Waischenfeld, situated in the picturesque Fränkische Schweiz an hour away from Erlangen. Held from October 14 to 17, the event brought the CRC doctoral researchers together for t...
My name is Laura Adilova. I have just started my “Advanced Materials and Processes” (MAP) master’s program at FAU. My choice of the university was based on FAU’s strong reputation in engineering and materials science, along with its emphasis on interdisciplinary research. MAP program combines everyt...
Prof. Dr. Matthias Thommes (TVT) is among the TOP 50 most cited scientists worldwide in 2023, according to the new Stanford Ranking.
The Stanford Ranking is the result of a regular evaluation of Scopus, the world's largest abstract and citation database for peer-reviewed literature published by E...
PIs Erdmann Spiecker, Benjamin Apeleo-Zubiri and Malte Kaspereit and the Spokeperson Nicolas Vogel were recognized as the best lecturers among the Technical Faculty ones. Their lectures were highly appreciated by students and made it to the top 3 in their categories in the summer semester 2024. This...
In a close collaboration of projects C01, C05 and D06, researchers of the CRC 1411 have introduced a new compressed sensing algorithm which uses mathematical optimization to improve the 3D reconstruction quality in nanotomography of homogeneous materials. The work has been published in the journal N...
Carina's and Gudrun’s recent article has been featured on the cover of Advanced Materials Interfaces! In this paper, we demonstrate how to enhance optical effects by integrating Polydopamine (PDA), a synthetic melanin, into photonic crystals. PDA is incorporated in two ways: by gradually increasing ...
