A new method to aid in the development of antibiotics for tuberculosis (TB) infections has been devised.

Bacteria-fighting polymers created with light

Tue, 14 Aug 2018 10:32:54 GMT

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 Warwick

New ID pictures of conducting polymers discover a surprise ABBA fan

Fri, 15 Jun 2018 20:14:00 GMT

First ever detailed pictures of conjugated polymers – which conduct electricity and are highly sought after – captured with novel visualisation technique developed by University of Warwick
New approach realises Richard Feynman’s 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”
Polymers need alternating pattern of “A” monomer & smaller “B” monomer to conduct (ABAB), but the researchers discovered surprising gaps & defects in polymer structure –an ABBA pattern
