Scientists at the University of Bayreuth are conducting cutting-edge, interdisciplinary research in biofabrication. The high-tech processes they are developing open up new possibilities for biomedical therapies.
At the HM Hochschule München University of Applied Sciences, a model project on recycled concrete shows how demolished buildings can literally take on new forms.
At the Competence Center for Lightweight Design (LLK) at Landshut University of Applied Sciences, professors, PhD students, and laboratory staff are researching the future of lightweight design.
At the University of Bayreuth, academia and industry have partnered to form the TADFlife innovative training network. Together, they are working to develop sustainable technologies by improving the lifetime and energy efficiency of blue OLEDs.
Postdoc Chandra Macauley researches fuel cell structures at Friedrich-Alexander Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg—one of the top locations for materials science in Germany.
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.
A research team at the University of Bayreuth has experimentally investigated how the popular climbing discipline of bouldering affects vegetation and the surface structure of natural rock formations. In their recently published study in the scientific journal People and Nature, the researchers call for nuanced management strategies that reconcile recreational use with the conservation of rock habitats.
Munich, Germany – Sixfold increase in productivity, production costs halved, energy consumption and material wastage significantly reduced, component quality improved – the EU-funded research project InShaPe has published impressive numbers. Over the past three years, the consortium has developed a new process optimisation approach that combines AI-based beam shaping with multispectral imaging (MSI) in the laser-based powder bed fusion of metals (PBF-LB/M) additive manufacturing process.
For the second time, Würzburg chemistry professor Frank Würthner has received a prestigious award from the European Research Council: the ERC Advanced Grant is endowed with 2.5 million euros.
Researchers from the University of Würzburg are opening up new horizons in chemistry: They present the world's first triple bond between the atoms boron and carbon.
