Inside the Department of MSE
Chandra Macauley is a postdoctoral researcher at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) and conducts research on hydrogen fuel cells and catalysts. Fuel cells convert chemical energy into electricity through an electrochemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen. Unlike batteries, however, a fuel cell requires a continuous fuel source to sustain the reaction. “If we can better understand and […]Chandra Macauley is a postdoctoral researcher at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) and conducts research on hydrogen fuel cells and catalysts.

House cleaning on the nanoscale
A team of scientists at Friedrich-Alexander Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) has developed a novel mechanical cleaning method for surfaces on the nanoscale. The technique successfully removes even the tiniest contaminants down to the atomic scale, achieving an unprecedented level of cleanliness. The results of this study led by Prof. Dr. Erdmann Spiecker from the Department of […]
