Targeting bacterial defense mechanisms for effective antibiotic treatment
Possible causes of mortality upon loss of membrane potential. Credit: Nature Communications (2024). DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-51347-0 In addition to the urgent need for new antibiotics, alternative strategies are also needed to tackle the problem of antibiotic resistance. Associate Professor Michaela Wenzel of Chalmers University of Technology studies bacterial defenses against external stress and targets these for efficient antibiotic treatments. Michaela Wenzel…

Cloud-inspired way to guide light: Waveguiding mechanisms could offer new ways to see inside the human body
Photon density modes in curved waveguides. Credit: Nature Physics (2024). DOI: 10.1038/s41567-024-02665-z Inspired by the way sunlight passes through clouds, scientists have discovered an entirely new way to control and direct light. This groundbreaking research, led by physicists at the University of Glasgow, allows light waves to be guided along curved paths tunneled through opaque materials that would normally scatter…
