Researchers from Jožef Stefan Institute recently published their work in Nature and Science, two of the most prestigious international scientific journals, in the span of only two days, which is a remarkable achievement for Slovenia. In the Nature journal, prof. dr. Uroš Cvelbar, head of Department of Gaseous Electronics, and his colleagues from South Korea reported a surprising discovery in the paper titled Stabilisation of liquid instabilities by ionised gas jet. They succeeded to stabilise instabilities on liquids by ionisation of gas jet. These findings have the potential to improve many industrial processes that include gas jets, such as production of steel, reactive propulsion system, reactive pumps etc. Group of prof. dr. Dušan Turk, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and Structural Biology and his international colleagues published in the Science journal a study X-ray screening identifies active site and allosteric inhibitors of SARS-CoV-2 main protease that inspires hope in the fight against the SARS-CoV-2 virus. In search of a drug against Covid-19, the consortium of 30 institutions led by Germany's DESY and the University of Hamburg performed a high-throughput X-ray crystallographic screen of two repurposing drug libraries against the SARS-CoV-2 main protease (Mpro), which is essential for viral replication.
