The 2025 Nobel Prize for chemistry has been awarded to Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson and Omar M. Yaghi for the development of a new type of molecular architecture. The constructions they created – metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) – contain large cavities in which molecules can flow in and out. Rese...
We are delighted to share that Prof. Nicolas Vogel received top rankings in the FAU Faculty of Engineering’s student teaching evaluations for his courses in the summer semester 2025.
His lectures “Grenzflächen in der Verfahrenstechnik” and “Polymer Science and Processing” were each awarded first pl...
We’re proud to announce that our research was featured in the “Sendung mit der Maus”, one of Germany’s most beloved kids TV programs — and not just in any episode! Our contribution was selected for the special episode #DeineSendung and part of the special broadcast for the Day of German Unity on Oct...
CRC 1411 “Design of Particulate Products” had a standout presence at PARTEC 2025 (23–25 September, Nuremberg), one of the world’s leading international congresses on particle technology, organized by VDI Wissensforum GmbH and NürnbergMesse and held alongside the POWTECH Technopharm exhibition and tr...
CRC 1411 researcher Dr. Carlos L. Bassani has received an ERC Starting Grant for his project kineticSHAPES – Kinetic Pathways to Control Nanocrystal Shapes. The project will investigate how nanocrystal morphologies emerge under non-equilibrium conditions. By developing simulation methods that span f...

Our outreach project was recently featured in the Erlanger Nachrichten! The article highlights our work on structural colors and our interactive education formats, with a focus on the colorful photo booths we’ve developed to bring science into everyday spaces. We’re excited to see our efforts in sci...
Last weekend, the outreach project of SFB1411 was part of the lively Schlossgartenfest – and we brought our interactive photobooth with us!
Visitors could snap colorful science selfies and dive into the fascinating world of color. From curious kids to enthusiastic adults, it was wonderful to see so...
On June 24, 2025, we, together with panOPTICUM/SAOT welcomed a group of enthusiastic primary school teachers to our very first workshop dedicated to introducing the wide range of educational resources our project offers on the topic of color.
During a vibrant and engaging afternoon, participants ...
In a recent collaborative study, CRC 1411 researchers have developed and implemented a comprehensive correlative tomography workflow to investigate complex, hierarchical particulate materials. The study combines 360° electron tomography (ET), nano-computed X-ray tomography (nanoCT), and micro-comput...
