Researchers at the University of Bayreuth are working to understand the regulatory functions of noncoding RNAs. This expands the foundations of neuroscience and provides valuable insight into the plasticity of the nervous system.
Harnessing sunlight for a cleaner tomorrow: Five Bavarian universities unite in "SolTech" to pioneer next-gen solar energy technologies—from green hydrogen to hybrid systems—for a sustainable global energy future.
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.
Scientists at the University of Bayreuth are investigating how extreme weather events affect biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. Together with their international partners, they study the local impacts of global climate change.
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.
Physicists at the University of Bayreuth have investigated the so‑called history force acting on particles in fluids. Owing to the difficulty of calculating it, this force is often neglected — a fact that Bayreuth doctoral researcher Frederik Gareis already identified as a secondary school pupil during a student research project with his supervisor. The researchers report their new findings on the history force in the renowned journal Physical Review Fluids.
From August 2026, an EU-wide AI regulation will come into force requiring the labelling of AI-generated content. However, a research team from the University of Bayreuth and Aalto University in Helsinki, Finland, has found that users of AI systems can no longer reliably recall after just one week whether content was generated by AI or not. The researchers presented their findings at the CHI conference, the most important and largest international conference in the field of Human–Computer Interaction.
Changes in nutrient dynamics caused by rising water temperatures and altered stratification patterns due to climate change are promoting the growth of harmful algal blooms. This is the outcome of a new long-term study led by the University of Bayreuth and conducted in the Franconian Lake District. The researchers report their findings in the journal Water Resources Research.
Researchers at the University of Bayreuth have discovered a new class of polymers as part of the work carried out within the Collaborative Research Centre (CRC) 1357 Microplastics. These polymers are characterised by biodegradable and recyclable properties and can also be processed in a more sustainable way. The researchers report their findings in the scientific journal Small.
Together with the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen (Czech Republic), the University of Bayreuth has launched a project on teaching mathematics in heterogeneous learning groups. The international research and qualification project “MaDiMat” aims to empower teachers and student teachers to develop and implement differentiated learning opportunities in mathematics education.
