A new kind of antibacterial surface that prevents infections and reduces our reliance on antibiotics
By some estimates, bacterial strains resistant to antibiotics – so-called superbugs – will cause more deaths than cancer by 2050. Colorado State University biomedical and chemistry research... Read more
Researchers in China report that air plasma can be used to kill biofilms found on the surfaces of perishable fruits and foods — significantly extending their shelf life, and reducing t... Read more
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory have discovered a way to use a microscopic swirling flow to rapidly clear a circle of tiny bacteria or swimmin... Read more
One of the scourges of hospital infections – biofilms formed by bacteria that stick to living tissue and medical instruments – can be tricked into dispersing with the targeted application of... Read more
