A new development in biomedical research could open the door to a variety of new applications: Scientists at the University of Bayreuth have found that certain polymers, called polyanions, can pene... - Nitrogen-based compoundsdiscovered as new high-performance energy storage materials
Researchers at the University of Bayreuth have synthesized unique scandium polynitrides under extreme conditions, with exotic chemistry and potential applications as high-energy-density materials. ... - Working on an affordable replacement for lithium-ion batteries
Dr Qingsong Wang from the University of Bayreuth is driving forward research into sodium-ion batteries as a cost-effective, sustainable alternative to lithium-ion. As part of an international team ...
- Competitor for diamonds: superhard multifunctional carbon nitrides
In a groundbreaking piece of research, scientists have synthesised long-sought carbon nitrogen compounds and unlocked the potential of carbon nitrides as a new class of superhard multifunctional ma... - Unlock the secrets of nitrogen's solid phase
In a ground-breaking study led by the University of Bayreuth researchers, in collaboration with scientists from the University of Edinburgh, UK, and the University of Linköping, Sweden, the mysteri... - High-performance digital system for tailoring polymers
Polymers have become an indispensable part of everyday life. However, the current polymers represent only a small fraction of the huge number of polymers that theoretically exist. Prof. Dr. Christo... - New findings on the lithium-oxygen battery: Overpotential and its causes
Lithium-oxygen batteries, often hailed as the future of rechargeable energy storage, presently face limitations that prevent their widespread adoption. One of these significant constraints is the o... - New research on the quantity and quality of protein supply
The Faculty of Life Sciences at the University of Bayreuth in Kulmbach is - funded by Manfred Roth Stiftung - launching new interdisciplinary research on the supply of proteins through Novel Food. ... - Ultra-thin solid electrolyte
Operational reliability, durability and high energy density: In these respects, solid-state batteries are superior in principle to conventional liquid electrolyte lithium-ion batteries. Some of the...
- Microplastics in human tissue samples: Warning against drawing premature conclusions
The distribution of microplastics and nanoplastics in the environment, the potential of human exposure and particle uptake, and the absorption of these particles into tissues are topics that are be... - Automated measurement of microplastic contamination in water
Jens Pfeiffer and Valentin Meiler are funded by the EXIST Start-up Grant from the Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection and the European Social Fund (ESF). The funding amount for "MY... - MS imaging makes ingredients, additives and contaminants of food visible
Mass spectrometry imaging (MS imaging) provides highly precise information on the spatial distribution of substances in many areas. Researchers at the University of Bayreuth now present exemplary n... - Analyzing polyethylene degradation in the environment
Polyethylene, a plastic that is both cheap and easy to process, accounts for nearly one-third of the world's plastic waste. An interdisciplinary team from the University of Bayreuth has investigate...
- Supposedly similar microplastic particles show different levels of toxicity
More and more studies worldwide are looking into the effects of microplastics, especially with regard to the environment and health. They often use spherical polystyrene microparticles and have arr... - Carbon material with unique structure discovered
Researchers at the University of Bayreuth, together with partners in China and the USA, have for the first time produced a carbon material that does not have the strictly ordered structures of a cr... - Rainfall causes microplastic transport into the atmosphere
Oceans, lakes and rivers often contain a large number of microplastic particles on their surface. Impacting raindrops cause many droplets with an almost equally high concentration of microplastics ... - Exploring proteins from insect larvae for the production of a bioadhesive
The demand for biocompatible, biodegradable, and environmentally friendly adhesives has increased greatly in recent years, but no industrial use of these substances is currently in sight. The caddi... - Pathogenic fungi colonise microplastics in soils
Representatives of numerous pathogenic fungal species are finding new habitat on microplastic particles in the soil and could thus be one of the possible causes of an increase in fungal infections.... - Brain damage caused by plasticisers
The plasticisers contained in many everyday objects can impair important brain functions in humans. Biologists from the University of Bayreuth warn of this danger in an article in "Communications B... - Novel tools for biomedical applications: Bacterial magnetic nanoparticles
Magnetic nanoparticles biosynthesized by bacteria might soon play an important role in biomedicine and biotechnology. Researchers of the University of Bayreuth have now developed and optimised a pr...
- Natural environmental conditions facilitate the uptake of microplastics into living cells
he environment is polluted by microplastics worldwide. The tiny particles enter food chains, and thereby the digestive systems of animals and humans; moreover, they can be inhaled. Instead of being... - New material for the separation of CO2 from industrial waste gases
Chemists at the University of Bayreuth have developed a material that could well make an important contribution to climate protection and sustainable industrial production. With this material, the ... - Mechanism for the formation of blood platelets discovered
A healthy human produces about 100 billion platelets per day, or more than one million platelets per second. Just how the organism manages this enormous task, has now been discovered by physicists ... - Study on protein biosynthesis in bacteria: New perspectives for antibiotics research
Researchers of the University of Bayreuth and the Columbia University in New York reported groundbreaking findings on protein biosynthesis in bacteria in the journal "iScience". The small protein N... - "Black nitrogen": a puzzle of the periodic table has been solved
In the periodic table of elements there is one golden rule for carbon, oxygen, and other light elements. Under high pressures they have similar structures to heavier elements in the same group of e...
