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.

First English designed and taught Bachelor’s Programme at the University of Bayreuth

The new English taught bachelor's programme "Data, Science and AI" will launch in the upcoming winter semester. It is aimed primarily at students from around the world who not only have practical programming skills but also seek to develop a deeper understanding of the mathematical and conceptual foundations of data-driven methods.

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.  

Physicists from Bayreuth & Grenoble found a new way cells move—without relying on the myosin motor. This challenges long-held views and could impact disease treatment. Published in Physical Review Letters.

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“.

Being the Chief Diplomat at the African Union

"Africa and the Changing Geopolitical Landscape" is the theme of the Model African Union (MAU) Conference, which will be held in Bayreuth from April 23 to 27. MAU is a simulation of the African Union, offering students the opportunity to explore the inner workings of the African Union and practice international diplomacy by assuming the roles of African heads of state.

International Conference of the Excellence Cluster at the University of Bayreuth

The University of Bayreuth's Africa Multiple Cluster of Excellence is hosting its annual international conference from 14 to 16 May 2025. This year's topic, "Temporalities, Youth (Im)mobilities and Agencies: Africa on the Move," focuses on the perceptions of time and the dynamic nature of youth movements in Africa.

Verschleppte Manuskripte: Zwischen 1970 und 1972 erwarb die Universitätsbibliothek Tübingen 42 ismailitische Handschriften. Damals ging man davon aus, dass es sich bei dem Erwerb um eine korrekte Transaktion handelte - ein Irrtum.

Effiziente Netzwerke – Hintergründe eines Handschriftenerwerbs

Von Verena Klemm Im Besitz der Universitätsbibliothek Tübingen (UBT) befinden sich zweiundvierzig ismailitische Handschriften, die in den Jahren 1970 bis 1972 erworben wurden. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt ging die UBT davon aus, dass es sich bei dem Erwerb um eine korrekte und unbedenkliche Transaktion handelte. Wie sich in den folgenden Jahren herausstellte, war dies jedoch ein … „Effiziente Netzwerke – Hintergründe eines Handschriftenerwerbs“ weiterlesen
