Re-writing the research on the treatment of infection

Re-writing the research on the treatment of infection
Description
A major breakthrough in the search for alternatives to antibiotics and the treatment of infection could provide microbiologists with a whole new insight into the way germs co-exist with or attack humans. The discovery led by a team in Schools of Life Sciences and Chemistry at The ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ has revealed that bacteria are 'hijacking' the human body's own immune defences to adapt their life style inside our body and survive our immune response or build up their own attack.

Uranium-nitride discovery throws up surprise insight into chemical bonding

Uranium-nitride discovery throws up surprise insight into chemical bonding
Description
Published in the leading journal Nature Chemistry, recent work by David King, a PhD student in the research group led by Dr Steve Liddle, has shown that uranium can engage in chemical bonding that is surprisingly covalent. Remarkably, the findings have shown that uranium can behave in much the same way as its counterparts in the well-known transitional metals such as chromium, molybdenum and tungsten.
