Engineers have created a laser treatment method that could potentially turn any metal surface into a rapid bacteria killer -- just by giving the metal's surface a different texture. Bacterial ...

Keeping work surfaces clean during meat processing is a challenge. Bacteria from meat can attach, grow, and build up to create a biofilm that is difficult to remove, even on stainless steel surfaces ...

Copper surfaces kill microbes that come into contact with them in a matter of hours. A new technique makes the familiar metal even deadlier—by zapping it with lasers. Bacteria “are becoming more ...

The surface finish of stainless steel impacts more than aesthetics as performance, reliability, and other important factors also come into play. Regardless of the application or end-use of the ...

Researchers have developed a laser treatment technique able to transform metal surfaces and allow them to instantly kill bacteria on contact. Scientists at Purdue University announced on Thursday that ...

These issues often stem from material limitations, including poor ion transport, unstable electrode interfaces, and dendrite formation in metal-based anodes. Overcoming these barriers requires ...

Efforts for a better understanding of the surface structures on the atomic scale have been continually paid for from then on. Au (111) surface, the most stable gold surface, has a periodic herringbone ...
