They found inspiration in the antimicrobial properties of shark skin and cicada wings. Scientists from the Hopkirk Research Institute, the Food Safety Science and Research Centre, and Applied ...

We have always known that flying requires wings. But what if we tell you that you do not necessarily require wings to take ...

Inspired by the naturally antimicrobial textures of cicada wings and shark skin, micro- and nanoscale textures at the scale of bacterial cells make it difficult for bacteria to attach. They also ...
