Bacteria Barrier Bandage

(3)Jul-28-10

Scientists have figured out how to make bandages with built-in-bacteria barriers, a big step up in the fight against infection.

The key is a single atom-thick sheet of graphene, which it turns out bacteria have difficulty colonizing on, while at the same time leaving human cells virtually unaffected.

The new nano-material could also have uses in food packaging or to ward off foot odor in shoes.
