FAU physicists investigate behavior of electrons in intense quantum light A working group at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) has made an important contribution to investigating the fundamental connections between strong field…
Researchers demonstrate a previously unknown effect of electron acceleration with ultrashort laser pulses. Researchers at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) and the University of Rostock have discovered a groundbreaking effect in which…
On October 25, 2025, the Long Night of Sciences 2025 will take place in the metropolitan region of Nuremberg-Fürth-Erlangen. In this context, the FAU Profile Center Light.Matter.QuantumTechnologies will be particularly…
Peter Hommelhoff, holder of the Chair of Laser Physics at FAU from 2012-2024, has been awarded the Otto Hahn Prize 2025 for his pioneering contributions to the ultrafast control of…
For the summer semester 2024, three talks of the „Physics on Saturday Morning“ lecture series are scheduled: Saturday, 04. May 2024: „Laser-basierte Teilchenbeschleuniger auf einem Chip – ein neues Werkzeug…
Particle accelerators are crucial tools in a wide variety of areas in industry, research and the medical sector. The space these machines require ranges from a few square meters to large research centers.
By superimposing two laser fields of different strengths and frequency, the electron emission of metals can be measured and controlled precisely to a few attoseconds. Physicists from FAU, the University…
