Researchers from the Chalmers University of Technology found that a biofilm forms and deteriorates the surface of a concrete tunnel that’s surrounded by seawater.

chemical bacteria deactivation and biofilm debris removal. The team explained that initially, magnetic forces transmitted through the robot's motion mechanically disrupts biofilm structures and ...

the interdisciplinary team mimicked the architecture and flow conditions of stented ureters and proved that ultrasound-activated artificial cilia on the stent's surface can efficiently remove biofilms ...

Biofilms are a major contributor to antimicrobial resistance because they shield bacteria from the body's immune cells and antimicrobial drugs, making them up to 1000 times more resistant to treatment ...

In the past, scientists have developed tiny remote-control objects – "robots," technically speaking – that could be used to remove biofilms. Unfortunately, however, these bots have typically ...
