New paper of the Cluster of Excellence ctd.qmat in “Science”: The Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation has been experimentally verified for the first time on 2D surfaces – thanks to sophisticated material design and polaritons.

Tiny, light-driven nanorobots that can selectively capture, transport, and remove bacteria? A Würzburg research team has now demonstrated how such microscopic cleaners can be employed and precisely controlled.

Physicists at the University of Würzburg have determined the quantum dynamics in a two-dimensional layer of boron nitride. Their findings form the basis for future applications in quantum technology.

Climate change is impacting water, food, and health supplies in the Congo Basin. An international team led by a researcher from Würzburg is now addressing this issue.

VR examinations are becoming increasingly important in medical training. However, two studies by the University Hospital of Würzburg show that these examination formats may not be fully applicable at present.

Unique legal-historical sources on Nuremberg as a trading centre in the early modern period are now accessible online - thanks to a research project led by law professor Anja Amend-Traut.

A large-scale study shows: When hundreds of researchers re-analyse the same data, they often arrive at different results. This analytical variability must therefore be given greater consideration.

Irina Dudanova is new to the Instituteof Anatomy at the University of Würzburg. She is researching the molecular and cellular mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases and wants to understand why some nerve cells are particularly susceptible to degeneration.

Government relief measures can help in the short term during energy crises, but at the same time they can reinforce dependence on fossil fuel imports and slow down the energy transition. This is shown by a new study with Würzburg participation.
