• ITMO Scientists Study Gradient Structures in Cobalt Solution Sediments

  ITMO scientists have explained how gradient structures of cobalt compounds form when Liesegang rings emerge in agar gel. The researchers registered six stages of precipitation with various properties. In the future, this approach can make it possible to quickly and cheaply create new materials with target properties. Those can be used as substrates for cells in electrochemical devices, thermal sensors, and antimicrobial coating. The study was first presented at the exhibition of research projects at ITMO’s 14th Congress of Young Scientists.

• ITMO Scientists' New Screening Platform Predicts Antibiotic-Nanoparticle Combinations

  Researchers from ITMO University have developed the world’s first screening platform that predicts the efficiency of nanoparticle-antibiotic combinations for use against antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The algorithm decreases the time spent looking for new effective compounds from several months to mere days, and is expected to help create new medications against bacteria that are dangerous for humans and resistant to antibiotics. The results of the research were published in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces; the study was supported with grant No. 2019-1075 from the Russian Ministry of Science and Higher Education.
