Dr. Tamayo is interviewed in -chemistry world about work by R. McKendry with nanomechanical sensors to detect binding interactions between drugs and their targets. The researchers, based in the UK, Australia and Kenya, say their technique is sensitive enough to be used for high-throughput drug screening and could speed the development of new drug-resistant antibiotics. ?

Our PhD students Javier Escobar and Juan Molina have been able to control the transport of extremely small amounts of liquids, in the order of zeptoliters (1 zL = 10-21 L), when these flow along resonant nanofluidic channels. Álvaro San Paulo, responsible for the work, explains: “What we have achieved is to measure with precision…
