Eureka! Kitchen gadget inspires scientist to make more effective plastic electronics
2012-01-30
One day in 2010, Rutgers physicist Vitaly Podzorov watched a store employee showcase a kitchen gadget that vacuum-seals food in plastic. The demo stuck with him. The simple concept – an airtight seal around pieces of food – just might apply to his research: developing flexible electronics using lightweight organic semiconductors for products such as video displays or solar cells.
"Organic transistors, which switch or amplify electronic signals, hold promise for making video displays that bend like book pages or roll and unroll like posters," said Podzorov. But traditional ...

Research on vitamins could lead to the design of novel drugs to combat malaria
2012-01-30
New research by scientists at the University of Southampton could lead to the design of more effective drugs to combat malaria.
The research will enable scientists to learn more about the nature of the enzymes required for vitamin biosynthesis by the malaria causing pathogen Plasmodium. Vitamins are essential nutrients required in small amounts, the lack of which leads to deficiencies. Many pathogenic microorganisms produce vitamins, and these biosynthetic pathways may provide suitable targets for development of new drugs.
Indeed antifolates targeting vitamin B9 biosynthesis ...
