New study on optimizing microbial fuel cells shows electrode material can make all the difference
22-Dec-2022
At present, microbial fuel cells are mainly used in research laboratories to generate electricity. In order for industrial applications to be considered in the future, the fuel cells must be further developed so that they can produce consistently higher amounts of electricity than is currently ...
A new peptide system for the targeted transport of molecules into living mammalian cells
19-Jul-2022
A novel peptide developed at the Universities of Bayreuth and Bristol is eminently suited for the targeted transport of molecules, for example of active substances and dyes, into the cells of mammals. The peptide is characterized by a dual function: It can enter the cell from the outside and ...
New spectroscopic insights into hydrogen bonds
Surprising results
21-Jun-2022
Hydrogen bonds are of fundamental interest in materials science, physics and chemistry. An international team including scientists from the University of Bayreuth has now achieved surprising insights into the formation of hydrogen bonds using a novel method that enables the application of NMR ...
New method for the technological use of 2D nanomaterials
02-Jun-2022
Nanosheets are finely structured two-dimensional materials and have great potential for innovation. They are fixed on top of each other in layered crystals, and must first be separated from each other so that they can be used, for example, to filter gas mixtures or for efficient gas barriers. A ...

Polyethylene degradation in the environment
02-May-2022
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 investigated the progressive degradation of polyethylene in the environment for the first time. Although the ...
Researchers develop catalyst for sustainable production of important chemical precursors
Outstanding selectivity is coupled with an unusually high efficiency
04-Apr-2022
The alpha-olefins, consisting of carbon and hydrogen, are the most important precursors in the chemical industry. Researchers at the University of Bayreuth present a discovery in the journal “Science” that opens up previously unimagined prospects for the design and the selective as well as ...
Healing Nerves on Spider Silk
Spider silk Janus fibers could attract nerve cells and stimulate their growth
08-Feb-2022
Spider silk has enormous potential in regenerative medicine thanks to being a natural fiber that is tough, stable, and biodegradable. Researchers have now produced double-sided spider silk fibers, which could provide damaged nerve or muscle cells with a platform for growth. As the researchers ...
Supposedly similar microplastic particles show different levels of toxicity
"Our study impressively shows how problematic it is to make generalised statements about the health or ecological effects of microplastics"
16-Dec-2021
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 arrived at partly contradictory results. An interdisciplinary research team at the University of ...
Pathogenic fungi colonise microplastics in soils
Possible cause of an increase in fungal infections?
21-Jul-2021
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. Researchers from Bayreuth, Hannover and Munich demonstrated this in a new study. Using ...
Toward the development of drugs for aging-related diseases
Study on the activation of the enzyme sirtuin 6
04-Mar-2021
In the search for ways to effectively combat age-related human disease, the enzyme sirtuin 6 (Sirt6) has recently become a focus of biochemical research. A targeted activation of Sirt6 could prevent or mitigate such diseases, for example some types of cancer. In a paper for the journal "Nature ...
