Antibiotics most commonly work by killing bacteria, for example by destroying their cell wall or by interfering with protein synthesis. Now researchers at UiO are launching a completely new idea: They want to prevent bacteria from sticking to a substrate, before an infection can even occur.

Airline pilots have a difficult task when landing airplanes that can weigh over 60 tonnes, with landing speeds exceeding 270 km/h, on icy runways in winter. To make the landings safer, 16 Norwegian airports have installed information systems that allow the pilots to distribute the braking power between the plane's three available systems in the safest way possible.
