Insect wings inspire new ways to fight superbugs

Scientists have revealed how nanomaterials inspired by insect wings are able to destroy bacteria on contact.  The wings of cicadas and dragonflies are natural bacteria killers, a phenomenon that has spurred researchers searching for ways to defeat drug-resistant superbugs. New anti-bacterial surfaces are being developed, featuring different nanopatterns that mimic […]
