“Technical infrastructure is a prerequisite for progress"! (University President Alfred Forchel)

Scientists from the University of Würzburg have been successful in their search for new, better materials to produce organic semiconductors. Their latest development has even broken a world record: It is a better electricity conductor than all other comparable materials.

The Institute of Organic Chemistry is becoming more and more attractive to outstanding young scientists from other countries. Consequently, in 2014 the university's press department already portrayed two of them.
