Scientists have revealed how nanomaterials inspired by insect wings are able to destroy bacteria on contact.
Scientists have revealed how nanomaterials inspired by insect wings are able to destroy bacteria on contact.
The wings of cicadas and dragonflies are natural bacteria killers, a phenomenon that has spurred researchers searching for ways to defeat drug-resistant superbugs.
New anti-bacterial surfaces are being developed, featuring different nanopatterns that mimic the deadly action of insect wings, but scientists are only beginning to unravel the mysteries of how they work.
