Nano-Textured Spikes Kill Bacteria on Contact

Nano-Textured Spikes Kill Bacteria on Contact
Dec-15-17
A new electrochemical nanotexturing process creates stainless steel surfaces that kill bacteria on contact.

Developed by a team from Georgia Tech, the nanotexturing process results in tiny spikes able to pierce and kill bacteria on contact, without damaging the much larger mammalian cells. The etching is also permanent, and offers the added bonus of making the surface more resistant to corrosion.
