Prof. Webber recently returned from a one week stay in Mar del Plata, Argentina, where he gave a week-long graduate course on "Mechanical properties and failure of ceramic materials" at the Institute of Research in Materials Science and Technology, Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata. The trip was...
Dr. Barbara Kaeswurm has been awarded funding from the FAU Emerging Talents Initiative (ETI). The ETI promotes excellent postdoctoral researchers, providing them with an opportunity to develop scientific independence and establish themselves in their chosen field of research. Dr. Kaeswurm’s ETI prop...
Prof. Webber received the 2017 IEEE UFFC Ferroelectrics Young Investigator Award, which recognizes scientists/engineers for their contributions to fundamental research, integration, application, or education in the area of ferroelectric materials and applications. The award was bestowed "for contrib...
Dr. Neamul Khansur and Prof. Kyle Webber receive the 2016 Edward C. Henry Award, which is given annually to an outstanding paper reporting original work in the Journal of the American Ceramic Society or the Bulletin. Their recent paper "Electric-Field-Induced Domain Switching and Domain Texture Rela...
On Tuesday, 21st June 2016, the Kick-off Meeting of DKG-Comittee TFA 6.1 “Characterisation of porous ceramics” with members from industry and university took place at FAU.

Inverted electro-mechanical behaviour induced by the irreversible domain configuration transformation in (K,Na)NbO3-based ceramics
Miniaturization of domains to the nanometer scale has been previously reported in many piezoelectrics with two-phase coexistence. Despite the observation of n...
On Monday, 22nd Febuary 2016 Professors from different disciplines of Nagoya Institute of Technology and also Professors from FAU had a combined symposia to present the research topics in advance to apply for a Joint Research Group.
NiTech contact is Prof. Dr. Ken-ichi Kakimoto (Head of Liason Of...
An international research team with Prof. S. E. Wolf from Friedrich-Alexander-University and Dr. R. Hovden, Prof. Muller and Prof. L. Estroff from Cornell University demonstrated for the first time that nacre, in the species of the Noble Fan Shell Pinna nobilis, forms by a particle-driven crystall...
Recent Research, lead by Prof. SE Wolf and Dr. J. Harris revealed that crystal lattice tilting, which hardens calcarous mollusk shells, can by generated in vitro by a pseudomorphic phase transformation of a thin, amorphous film of calcium carbonate generated at the air/water-interface. Under pro...
