- Rainfall causes microplastic transport into the atmosphere
Oceans, lakes and rivers often contain a large number of microplastic particles on their surface. Impacting raindrops cause many droplets with an almost equally high concentration of microplastics ... - Exploring proteins from insect larvae for the production of a bioadhesive
The demand for biocompatible, biodegradable, and environmentally friendly adhesives has increased greatly in recent years, but no industrial use of these substances is currently in sight. The caddi... - Pathogenic fungi colonise microplastics in soils
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.... - Brain damage caused by plasticisers
The plasticisers contained in many everyday objects can impair important brain functions in humans. Biologists from the University of Bayreuth warn of this danger in an article in "Communications B... - Novel tools for biomedical applications: Bacterial magnetic nanoparticles
Magnetic nanoparticles biosynthesized by bacteria might soon play an important role in biomedicine and biotechnology. Researchers of the University of Bayreuth have now developed and optimised a pr...
- Natural environmental conditions facilitate the uptake of microplastics into living cells
he environment is polluted by microplastics worldwide. The tiny particles enter food chains, and thereby the digestive systems of animals and humans; moreover, they can be inhaled. Instead of being... - New material for the separation of CO2 from industrial waste gases
Chemists at the University of Bayreuth have developed a material that could well make an important contribution to climate protection and sustainable industrial production. With this material, the ... - Mechanism for the formation of blood platelets discovered
A healthy human produces about 100 billion platelets per day, or more than one million platelets per second. Just how the organism manages this enormous task, has now been discovered by physicists ... - Study on protein biosynthesis in bacteria: New perspectives for antibiotics research
Researchers of the University of Bayreuth and the Columbia University in New York reported groundbreaking findings on protein biosynthesis in bacteria in the journal "iScience". The small protein N... - "Black nitrogen": a puzzle of the periodic table has been solved
In the periodic table of elements there is one golden rule for carbon, oxygen, and other light elements. Under high pressures they have similar structures to heavier elements in the same group of e...
- Light, strong, and tough: new unique polymer fibres
Strong and tough yet as light as a feather - materials with this exceptional combination of properties are urgently needed in many industrial sectors and in medicine, as well as being of great inte...
- Particles Changing Angle: Unexpected Orientation in Capillaries
When small particles flow through thin capillaries, they display an extremely unusual orientation behaviour. This has recently been discovered by a research team led by Prof. Stephan Förster and Pr...
- Light driving light: how an optical transistor operates
The transistor is one of the most influential inventions of the 20th century. Its crucial function is to drive electrical signals utilising electrical signals in television sets, telephones, PCs an...
