Gezielte Freisetzung von Antibiotika mit Nanoreaktoren

Chemiker der Universit�t Basel haben winzige Nanokugeln entwickelt, die das h�ufig eingesetzte Antibiotikum Cephalexin herstellen und lokal freisetzen k�nnen. Wenn es gelingt, solche Nanoreaktoren in medizinische Implantate einzubauen, liessen sich gezielt bakterielle Infektionen bek�mpfen, ohne dass der Wirkstoff �ber den ganzen K�rper verteilt wird.

Water nanodroplets cool biomolecules ultrafast

Researchers of the Max-Born-Institute at Berlin, Germany, have observed how biomolecules transfer energy into extremely small water droplets in their environment. A water shell consisting of only 3 water molecules around a phospholipid molecule is sufficient for energy transfer within 1 ps.
