Manual for Cultivating Algae in the Laboratory
A team of biophysicists led by Prof. Dr. Oliver Bäumchen at the University of Bayreuth and biologists led by Dr. Maike Lorenz at the Culture Collection of Algae at Göttingen University has published a step-by-step guide for the reliable cultivation of the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. ...more
Cell Movement Without Motors
Physicists from the Universities of Bayreuth and Grenoble have discovered a new mechanism of cell mobility. Their findings challenge the classical dogma that the molecular motor myosin is essential for the movement of mammalian cells. This insight paves the way for new strategies to control cell movement, with potential implications for the treatment of diseases. ...more
Invisibility Cloak for Magnetic Obstacles
Researchers at the University of Bayreuth have developed a method that makes objects on a magnetic field invisible within a particle stream. Until now, this so-called cloaking had only been studied for waves such as light or sound. They report their results in Nature Communications. ...more
