New hope for tackling antibiotic resistance found in ancient Irish soil is effective against four of the top six superbugs

Researchers analysing soil from Ireland long thought to have medicinal properties have discovered that it contains a previously unknown strain of bacteria which is effective against four of the top six superbugs that are resistant to antibiotics, including MRSA. Antibiotic resistant superbugs could kill up to 1.3 million people in Europe by 2050, according to

A perovskite solar module the size of an A4 sheet of paper using simple and inexpensive printing techniques

A perovskite solar module the size of an A4 sheet of paper, which is nearly six times bigger than 10×10 cm2 modules of that type reported before, has been developed by Swansea University researchers, by using simple and low-cost printing techniques. The breakthrough shows that the technology works at a larger scale, not just in
