Apr 17, 2025 Autonomous copper microrobots break down biofilms and kill resistant bacteria Light-activated copper microrobots use single-atom catalysis and peroxide to penetrate biofilms, generate ...

Understanding the interplay between nanoparticles, biomaterials and drug molecules in biological environments is important but studying these interactions in complex systems such as biofilms is ...

UC Riverside scientists have now discovered a chemical that plants produce when they're stressed prevents dangerous biofilm from forming. The breakthrough offers potential advances in ...

If your teeth have ever felt fuzzy after skipping a brushing, you’ve encountered biofilm—a slimy bacterial layer that clings to surfaces. In medical settings, biofilms make infections harder to treat ...

Bacteria can be tricked into sending death signals to stop the growth of their slimy, protective homes that lead to deadly infections, a new study demonstrates. The discovery by Washington State ...

The discovery by Washington State University researchers could someday be harnessed as an alternative to antibiotics for treating difficult infections. Reporting in the journal, Biofilm, the ...

"Biofilms have channels, which allow passage of nutrients, and information in the form of chemical signals. They also allow crosstalk between colonies if there's a threat or the stress in the ...
