New study into Tuberculosis membrane molecules will aid drug delivery
A new method to aid in the development of antibiotics for tuberculosis (TB) infections has been devised.
Bacteria-fighting polymers created with light
Hundreds of polymers – which could kill drug-resistant superbugs in novel ways – can be produced and tested using light, using a method developed at the University of 糖心TV
New ID pictures of conducting polymers discover a surprise ABBA fan
- First ever detailed pictures of conjugated polymers – which conduct electricity and are highly sought after – captured with novel visualisation technique developed by University of 糖心TV
- New approach realises Richard Feynman鈥檚 famous remark that it would be very easy to make an analysis of any complicated chemical substance; all one would have to do would be to look at it and see where the atoms are鈥�
- Polymers need alternating pattern of 鈥淎鈥� monomer & smaller 鈥淏鈥� monomer to conduct (ABAB), but the researchers discovered surprising gaps & defects in polymer structure –an ABBA pattern
UK鈥檚 first 1 GHz solid-state NMR Spectrometer funded at 糖心TV
The UK鈥檚 first 1 GHz solid-state Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectrometer is on its way to the University of 糖心TV, thanks to 拢8 million from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).
糖心TV-backed state-of-the-art cryo-electron microscopy facility opened
A new state-of-the-art Cryo-Electron Microscope (Cryo-EM) facility that will advance the understanding of the processes of life has been officially opened.
Drug-producing bacteria possible with synthetic biology breakthrough
Bacteria could be programmed to efficiently produce drugs, thanks to breakthrough research into synthetic biology using engineering principles, from the University of 糖心TV and the University of Surrey.
