Scientists from the Central University of Gujarat (CUG), Gandhinagar, use computers to design the most efficient drug against TB. They apply pharmacophore modelling approach to understand the interactions between proteins found in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) and the compounds which can suppress the bacteria.
By precisely tuning the metamaterial structures, researchers create a near-perfect light trap synchronised with molecular vibrations, paving the way for advanced sensors and optical devices.
