SUPERBUGS: THE POWERFUL WARRIORS

Antibiotics can no longer be considered as effective methods to treat various diseases. The misuse of these medicines has increased the evolvement of a number of drug-resistant microorganisms which are termed as “Superbugs”. These are most prevalent in developing countries where the abuse of antibiotics is at the peak. Clostridium difficile, Streptococcus pneumoniae, MRSA (Staphylococcus aureu...

NANOSPIDER TECHNOLOGY AND ITS APPLICATIONS

Electrospinning is a process wherein polymer fibers are developed on applying high voltage. Its principle is based on charge accumulation on the surface of the polymer solution as a result of high voltage which causes the solution to get ejected out as a thin jet by forming a taylor cone. Nanospider is a modified version of electrospinning developed by Technical University in the year 2003. The id...
