Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg (JMU) is big enough to offer a broad and innovative range of subjects, yet not too big to be impersonal. A university with an international reputation for excellent research, JMU is proud to be the home of outstanding researchers. JMU is also committed to quality teaching, has a big community and a strong alumni network.
JMU in the Excellence Competition
The JMU sees participation in the Excellence Competition as an important driver of development at the university.
Topological insulators usually only work at very low temperatures. Researchers at the University of Würzburg have now developed an insulator that exhibits the desired properties even at higher temperatures.
Physicists at the University of Würzburg have developed extremely small pixels using optical antennas and a clever design. These can be used in compact AR glasses, for example.
Carpenter ants are not squeamish when it comes to caring for the wounded. To minimise the risk of infection, the insects immediately amputate injured legs – thereby more than doubling their survival rate.
