How did a community live 150 years ago? What moved people—from conflagrations and diseases to major social upheavals? Answers to these questions can be found in the Protestant parish descriptions of the 19th and early 20th centuries. This unique insight into the everyday life of earlier generations is now fully accessible in digital form for the first time – thanks to a three-year major project by the Institute for Franconian Regional History (IFLG) at the Universities of Bayreuth and Bamberg.

In the development of water‑based materials, scientists often face a challenge: water disrupts the bonds between molecules. An international research team led by Prof. Dr Alex J. Plajer at the University of Bayreuth has now developed a material that incorporates water as an active structural component. In water, this material self‑assembles into nanofibres and forms hydrogels whose properties can be precisely tuned.

Researchers at the University of Bayreuth have developed a method using artificial intelligence that can significantly speed up the calculation of liquid properties. The AI approach predicts the chemical potential – an indispensable quantity for describing liquids in thermodynamic equilibrium. The researchers present their findings in a new study published in the renowned journal Physical Review Letters, where it was selected as an Editors’ Suggestion.
