New catalyst: easy on resources, less expensive, and highly selective
02-Dec-2019
Chemists at the University of Bayreuth have developed a sustainable, inexpensive, and at the same time potent catalytic process: it requires no rare precious metals and enables the targeted production of many fine chemicals, natural products, and medical agents. This opens up a broad spectrum of ...
Always on beat: ultrashort flashes of light under optical control
18-Oct-2019
Ultrashort laser pulses have enabled scientists and physicians to carry out high-precision material analyses and medical procedures. Physicists from the University of Bayreuth and the University of Göttingen have now discovered a new method for adjusting the extremely short time intervals between ...
Researchers discover stable high-energy material
16-Oct-2019
High-energy materials that can store very large amounts of chemical energy and release it when required are being sought for long-haul space travel worldwide. Nitrogen compounds in which several nitrogen atoms are linked by single bonds possess this ability. These compounds are difficult to ...
Researchers move forward in explaining atomic causes of high temperature superconductivity
19-Aug-2019
One day superconductors could revolutionize energy industry. However, for this to be happen, superconductors must be able to transport electricity under room temperature without resistance. Metal hydrides differ from other superconductors by the fact that they do not own this ability only at ...
Extremely hard yet metallically conductive
Novel material with high-tech prospects
09-Jul-2019
An international research group led by scientists from the University of Bayreuth has identified a previously unknown material at DESY: Rhenium nitride pernitride. Thanks to a combination of properties that were previously considered incompatible, it looks set to become highly attractive for ...
High pressure creates new neighbours for beryllium
Researchers discover unusual crystal structures
01-Jul-2019
The rare element beryllium is mainly known for being a component of emeralds, aquamarines, and other precious stones. However, in "Nature Communications", an international team of scientists from the University of Bayreuth now reports on a very unusual discovery: Under a pressure 880,000 times ...
New nitrogen compounds open up new possibilities for energy storage
06-Aug-2018
An international team of researchers led by scientists at the University of Bayreuth has for the first time produced chemical compounds containing polymeric chains composed solely of nitrogen atoms. Such nitrides have an unusually high energy density and thus open up completely new prospects for ...
2018 WITec Paper Award for Outstanding Scientific Publications
31-May-2018
Every year WITec, the Raman imaging company, recognizes three peer-reviewed publications that stand out in terms of originality and significance and feature data acquired with a WITec microscope. This year, scientists from universities and institutes in Bochum, Bayreuth and Minneapolis received ...
Chaos that will keep you warm: Researchers improve heat insulation using deliberate chaos
04-Apr-2018
Powder is extremely well-suited for thermal insulation when there is a jumble of different sized nanoparticles in it. This was discovered by a research group at the University of Bayreuth led by Prof. Dr. Markus Retsch. The scientists were able to determine how the thermal conductivity of powder ...

A way to control the colour of OLEDs
27-Mar-2018
Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) are used in smartphones and televisions to facilitate the high-contrast display of colours. Conjugated polymers are also often employed as organic semiconductors in such diodes. Researchers at the University of Bayreuth have found out how the spatial ...
