Antimicrobial resistance occurs when bacteria evolve and stop responding to drugs over time
Nobel-winning discoveries have direct applications
The click chemistry that won Morten Meldal, Barry Sharpless, and Carolyn Bertozzi this year's Nobel Prize in Chemistry is about making difficult processes easier. Click chemistry and bioorthogonal reactions -- which take place without disrupting the normal functioning of the cell -- have taken chemistry into the era of functionalism, bringing the greatest benefit to humankind. Sharpless from Scripps Research, US, and Meldal from the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, laid the foundation for a functional form of chemistry in which molecular building blocks snap together quickly and efficiently. Bertozzi, from Stanford University, US, took this click chemistry to a new dimension and started utilising it in living organisms. Chemists have long been driven by the desire to build increasingly complicated molecules. In pharmaceutical research, this has often involved artificially recreating natural molecules with medicinal properties. This has led to many admirable molecular constructio

Eminent scientist Debiprosad Duari feels the academia, government and the press should come forward in sensitising people much more about India's achievements in the field of science and technology. Duari, who was associated with Kolkata's Birla Planetarium for over two decades, said one of the main objectives of the Centre's 'Technology Vision 2035' is to make people aware of their own potential and that of the country in terms of technological advancements. He said communicating with people in their language was key to disseminating information about scientific achievements, and instilling a sense of well-being and euphoria in them. "I was a part of the education and technology sector under the 'Technology Vision 2035' and we have sat together and discussed various things for five-six years since 2012 when this was conceptualised. "The main focus of this initiative is to engage and create an environment by 2035 whereby people know the actual reality of developments in the scienti
