University of Bayreuth and Deakin University Research for Improved Obesity Therapy

The University of Bayreuth is a cooperation partner in a project aimed at improving rural care for obesity. Together with Deakin University in Australia, the project will analyse ways to enhance the use and international transfer of digital health applications for obesity treatment. The district of Kulmbach will serve as a model region for this initiative, which is funded by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) for one year with over €17,000. The University Association of Bayreuth is also supporting the project.

New AI method accelerates liquid simulations

Researchers at the University of Bayreuth have developed a method using artificial intelligence that can significantly speed up the calculation of liquid properties. The AI approach predicts the chemical potential – an indispensable quantity for describing liquids in thermodynamic equilibrium. The researchers present their findings in a new study published in the renowned journal Physical Review Letters, where it was selected as an Editors’ Suggestion.

Water – from chemical disruptor to structural building block

In the development of water‑based materials, scientists often face a challenge: water disrupts the bonds between molecules. An international research team led by Prof. Dr Alex J. Plajer at the University of Bayreuth has now developed a material that incorporates water as an active structural component. In water, this material self‑assembles into nanofibres and forms hydrogels whose properties can be precisely tuned. The study demonstrates that water does not have to be a mere disruptive factor, but can instead be harnessed as a deliberate chemical design element.

Je teste #UbuntuTouch (#UBT) en ce moment sur un Pocophone F1.
C'est plutôt fluide mais j'ai des erreurs dans le système de fichiers qui m'empêchent de pousser plus loin.
Je l'ai installé avec UBports qui met la version 16.04, totalement dépassée.

En tous cas, UBT est le plus abouti de sa catégorie en matière de téléphonie.
J'ai aussi apprécié la gestion de l'USB qui permet d'utiliser un hub avec chargeur, clé USB Etc.

Professional Integration into the German Labour Market

Through its Alumni Job Mentoring Programme, the University of Bayreuth supports international professionals as well as refugee degree holders in entering the German labour market. This initiative sends a strong signal for integration, career orientation, and sustainable talent development. A new round of the mentoring programme will begin in March 2026.

Not All Microplastics Are the Same

Researchers led by Collaborative Research Centre (CRC) 1357 Microplastics at the University of Bayreuth have overturned a common scientific assumption in a new study: microplastic particles do not all exhibit similar transport behaviour regardless of their shape. Instead, microplastics behave differently in aquatic environments depending on whether they occur as fragments or fibres. This insight reshapes our understanding of how strongly organisms are exposed to microplastics – an assessment that is crucial for evaluating the environmental risks posed by microplastic pollution.
