Typically, metal furniture for medical institutions and food production is coated with a layer of copper, which
In order to speed up this process,Researchers have developed a one-step laser texturing technique that improves the bacterial properties of copper surfaces, allowing it to kill bacteria in a few seconds.
The researchers used a laser to create nanoscale structures on the surface of a metal: a rough texture that prevents bacteria and viruses from lingering on the surface.
The technique can be applied to metal alloys, which also have antimicrobial properties, the authors of the study note.
Previously, scientists created the most complex in the worldmicroparticle. The discovery will make it possible to create more stable mixtures of liquids such as paints, as well as bend light differently to produce higher-quality holographic projections.
