Copper-coated steel promises 90% bacterial elimination from surfaces | Scientists developed a copper-coated nanotextured stainless steel (nSS) surface to prevent bacterial infections, effective in most shared environments.


Experts craft a copper-coated nanotextured stainless steel surface to prevent bacterial infections, effective in most shared environments.

The study noted that this significant antibacterial activity shows great potential as a powerful tool for preventing bacterial infections in various settings, including healthcare facilities and food service environments, without contributing to antibiotic resistance. Tripathi additionally alluding to the recent E. coli outbreak in grocery stores in Calgary, Canada, said that she was particularly driven in her research, recognizing the urgent relevance and significance of combating such resilient bacteria on surfaces. With my creative spirit and eye for detail, I've worked across the dynamic landscape of multimedia journalism and written about sports, lifestyle, art, culture, health and wellbeing at Further Magazine, Alt.Cardiff and The Hindu.
