How much can the construction and operating costs of geothermal systems be reduced? Geologists at FAU will be investigating this question over the next four years and testing new drilling techniques as part of their research.

FAU astrophysicists research cosmic particle accelerators with unparalleled energy.

Researchers at FAU are currently working on making cutting-edge X-ray technology even more sophisticated. The researchers' ultimate goal is for their new technique to be used in medical imaging and in non-destructive testing in industry.

A team of FAU researchers have shown that the virus remains highly active despite the therapy. Their results of their research have recently been published in the journal EBioMedicine.

Dr. Josefina Rodríguez Arribas has been a member of the International Consortium for Research in the Humanities "Fate, Freedom and Prognostication" at FAU (October 2014 - September 2015). Her most recent research at the Consortium "Fate, Freedom and Prognostication" at FAU concerns the textual and material evidence about the practice of divination among Jews in the Middle Ages.

Together with Schaeffler, FAU’s Chair of Engineering Design has developed a unique rolling bearing spin test stand in order to investigate the behaviour of the bearings’ material and design more closely.

FAU researchers have compared high intensity training and whole-body electromyostimulation in a study. The results show that both methods achieve the desired results.

Does getting older mean becoming more frail and less physically able? Researchers at FAU aim to demonstrate that some effects of ageing can not only be stopped but can in fact be reversed to a degree – with targeted movement and the right diet.

No specific treatment is currently able to stop aggressive tumours spreading throughout the human body. Researchers at FAU have made a discovery that could change this.
