So, my entry into the field was basically a cold call to a very distinguished microbiologist who decided to take a flyer on me. How did the discovery of electric bacteria by Nealson and other ...

The invention combines silver nanowires and a tiny electric current to create a surface that eliminates and repels bacteria ...

"Our study found that this 'entry point' has electric fields that the Salmonella bacteria take advantage of to pass," said the study's senior author Min Zhao. Zhao is a UC Davis professor of ...

These generate very strong local electric fields, thereby producing highly alkaline microenvironments that efficiently kill bacteria. Conventional disinfection methods, such as chlorination ...
