A study has been carried out at the University of Bayreuth that shows a way to measure the CO2 footprint of companies more accurately. The results of this research can help commercial enterprises to drive forward CO2 savings in the right places. A white paper has now been published in collaboration with the DFGE - Institute for Energy and Ecology.
Prof. Dr Leonid Ionov and his team at the University of Bayreuth have developed a new type of 3D printing technology that combines hydrogels and fibres. The innovative process, combined in one device for the first time, enables the production of constructs with fibrous structures and uniaxial cell alignment. The research results, published in the journal "Advanced Healthcare Materials", harbour potential for the artificial production of biological tissue.
Bayreuth scientists are investigating the structure and long-term behaviour of galaxies using mathematical models based on Einstein's theory of relativity. Their innovative approach uses a deep neural network to quickly predict the stability of galaxy models. This artificial intelligence-based method enables efficient verification or falsification of astrophysical hypotheses in seconds.
A pioneering development enables the targeted replication of the chemical structure of low-density polyethylene (LDPE), a plastic that has been difficult to imitate until now, and shows great potential for sustainable alternatives in the plastics industry. Prof. Dr Rhett Kempe, Chair of Inorganic Chemistry II - Catalyst Design, Sustainable Chemistry Centre, at the University of Bayreuth, and his interdisciplinary research team have presented this material in a recent publication in the journal "Advanced Science".
In view of the pressing challenges posed by global environmental crises, skills shortages, rising energy prices and financial pressure in the healthcare sector, the University of Bayreuth and several partners are initiating the joint project 'Planetary Health - Curriculum for Sustainable Healthcare Facilities'. The project aims to enable the integration of climate resilience and sustainability in all areas of healthcare.
The influence of humans is causing originally diverse ecosystems around the world to to become increasingly similar. Scientists in an international research collaboration have uncovered this phenomenon, with their findings recently published in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution.
The German Research Foundation (DFG) and the British Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) are providing a total of EUR 880,000 to fund research into scientific poetry in Britain and Germany from the Renaissance to the Enlightenment. The joint project between the universities of Marburg, York, Bayreuth and Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge, focusses on the poetic communication of natural philosophical knowledge from fields such as geology, astronomy, and botany.
In an innovative approach to controlling ultrashort laser flashes, researchers from the Universities of Bayreuth and Konstanz are using soliton physics and two pulse combs within a single laser. The method has the potential to drastically speed up and simplify laser applications. The results of the research have now been published in Science Advances.
An international research team including a Bayreuth scientist and her research group has investigated the links between extreme drought, biodiversity and production losses on a global scale. With the help of a worldwide experiment at 100 locations on six continents, they have identified Biodiversity in grassland is an effective protection against crop failure during droughts. The study has now been published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The colour of dragonfly communities reacts to seasonal variation in solar radiation. Over the last 30 years, however, this colour pattern has changed – probably as a result of climate change.
