The redesign includes a new seal, colour scheme, typeface, and motto 'Truth. Knowledge. Change. Since 1402', aiming to strengthen its profile for students, researchers, and funding.Mirage NewsLanguage Development: Day Of Activities In City CentreThe University of Würzburg's FoKuS team will hold a public event on 16 October in Würzburg city centre to raise awareness about speech and language development disorders. The event includes activities for children and adults, with research presentations and free admission. It marks International Speech and Language Development Disorder Day.Mirage NewsGrapes For UniWein Have Been HarvestedRepresentatives from the University of Würzburg and the Staatlicher Hofkeller visited the Würzburger Stein vineyard to inspect grapes for the new UniWein. The 2024 and 2025 vintages sold well, and the new Silvaner will be presented in March 2027. The wine continues a tradition dating to 1582.Quantum ZeitgeistAltermagnetism creates unique surfaces for quantum computingResearchers at Great Bay University and the University of Würzburg, led by Bo Fu, Chang-An Li and Björn Trauzettel, present a theoretical model showing that altermagnetism in the compound EuIn₂As₂ combined with conventional s-wave superconductivity produces crystal-facet-dependent Bogoliubov Fermi surfaces. The work predicts Majorana zero modes at nanowire ends, vortex lines and boundaries, driven by anisotropic superconducting gaps and quantum confinement.Mirage NewsMS Wissenschaft Brings Cancer Research to WürzburgThe MS Wissenschaft exhibition ship is visiting Würzburg from September 8 to 11, 2026, featuring a digital research game on CAR-T cell cancer treatment developed by an interdisciplinary team. The exhibit was created by researchers and students from Würzburg University Hospital (UKW), the University of Würzburg (JMU), and the Fraunhofer Institute for Cell Therapy and Immunology IZI. This stop highlights local contributions to immunotherapy research as part of the ship's national tour under the 'Medicine of the Future' theme.The IndependentThe blood-sucking insect that can bite through almost anything – and is found in 37 countriesResearchers from the University of Würzburg, the International Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology in Nairobi, and Kiel University have published a study detailing the biomechanical versatility of tsetse flies that allows them to pierce diverse skin types. The findings reveal that these insects use a microscopic saw-like mechanism rather than a syringe-like approach, enabling them to transmit parasitic diseases across wildlife, livestock, and humans in 37 sub-Saharan countries. This research highlights the mechanical adaptations that make tsetse flies effective disease vectors despite lacking exceptional individual physical traits.Mirage News220,000 Euros For New Microscopy Research In WürzburgShoma Kataoka has been awarded nearly 220,000 euros in funding from the European Commission's Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions to develop a new high-throughput microscopy system at the University of Würzburg. The project aims to accelerate drug discovery by enabling AI-based phenotypic screening to image entire well plates in under a minute without mechanical scanning. This advancement is expected to increase processing speed by over 1,000 times while maintaining high-resolution imaging capabilities.SciencedailyTiny robots powered by light can hunt down and collect bacteriaResearchers at the University of Würzburg have developed light-powered nanorobots capable of navigating liquids to hunt, collect, and relocate bacteria. These microscopic devices utilize photon recoil for propulsion and polarization-controlled antennas for steering, allowing them to act as precise 'microscopic cleaners.' This breakthrough enables the active manipulation of microbial environments with high maneuverability and precision.Mirage NewsPhysicist Joins Prestigious Simons Research TeamUniversity of Würzburg physicist Fakher Assaad has been selected to join the Simons Collaboration 'Virtues of Defects,' an international consortium funded by up to two million U.S. dollars annually for four years. The project, led by Jaume Gomis of the Perimeter Institute, involves scientists from institutions in Germany, Canada, the United States, Denmark, Italy, and Argentina to study physical structures known as defects to reformulate understanding of quantum mechanics and general relativity.
