Researchers from the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) have designed and developed a complex formed by three moleculesincluding the antimicrobial ciprofloxacin, which improves the efficacy of current antibiotics and opens the door to creating new antimicrobial treatments. The research, which is published in the journal 'Communications Biology', has not only managed to improve known antibiotics so that they are more effective in smaller dosesbut ha improved his stability and reduced toxicityaccording to the IBEC researcher and professor at the University of Barcelona (UB), Eduard Torrents, who has led the work.

It looks like science fiction, but it's not. An international team of engineers has succeeded in creating a tiny robot able to melt, slip through the cracks of a cage, and reassemble like before. His story, published this Wednesday in the scientific journal 'Matter', illustrates how advances in robotics and materials science could one day engender a miniature robot squad Able to navigate the human body to administer drugs at the right time and place, perform precision operations and even eradicate tumors. The story of this miniature 'Terminator' begins like this. Its creators were inspired by nothing more and nothing…

A start-up from Barcelona, stay away, has just launched a device that generates random numbers at record speed. This technology was born in a research center, used by the 2022 nobel prize in physicsand is a utility product for encryption and computing. Generating random numbers has many applications. Beyond the Online gamblinguse them need them to do simulations that use from pharmaceuticals to finance. For example, to predict the weather you have to calculate the probability of many different scenarios and random numbers are used to generate them by chance, without leaving any relevant scenario out. Chance is also necessary…
