Novel Screening Method Accelerates Design of Stable, High-performance Solid-State Batteries

In a collaborative effort, researchers from the University of Bayreuth and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology have identified a key material that significantly improves the performance and lifespan of solid-state lithium-metal batteries. This discovery was enabled by a newly developed database-supported, high-throughput screening method, representing a novel, breakthrough approach to battery design. Their findings are detailed in the prestigious journal Nature Communications.

Elephant Instead of Wild Boar? What Could Have Been in Europe

Even under today’s climatic conditions, the long-extinct straight-tusked elephant could still live in Europe. This is the conclusion of a recent study. For this finding, the Sport Ecology research group at the University of Bayreuth combined fossil finds with reconstructions of past climates. The researchers present their findings in the journal Frontiers of Biogeography.

Cell Movement Without Motors

Physicists from the Universities of Bayreuth and Grenoble have discovered a new mechanism of cell mobility. Their findings challenge the classical dogma that the molecular motor myosin is essential for the movement of mammalian cells. This insight paves the way for new strategies to control cell movement, with potential implications for the treatment of diseases. The team reports their findings in the leading physics journal Physical Review Letters.

How much microplastic is generated during mountain biking?

Researchers at the University of Bayreuth have, for the first time, provided concrete figures on the abrasion of mountain bike tyres in off-road conditions. Their findings contribute to a better understanding of the global microplastic cycle. They report on their research in the journal „Science of The Total Environment“.
