Highlights
A new way to measure contagion: the gut bacterium behind blood poisoning can spread like influenza
New findings show that microbes living in our gut can, in terms of transmission dynamics, behave much like viruses. The model offers a new way to explore the spread of antibiotic-resistant gut bacteria in the population.
Future makers research batteries, cryptography and plastic recycling
The Technology Industries of Finland Centennial Foundation awarded 3.5 million euros in research funding to eight projects, five from Aalto University.
