Insect wings inspire new ways to fight superbugs – Phys.org

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.
