A soft microrobot with zinc oxide nanorods uses ultrasound to generate localized reactive oxygen species, offering a precise method to kill bacteria without relying on systemic antibiotics. (Nanowerk ...

As drug-resistant infections continue to rise, researchers are looking for new antimicrobial strategies that are both effective and sustainable. One emerging approach combines nanotechnology with ...

Zinc sits at the heart of many bacterial enzymes, so one of our immune system's simplest defenses is to keep zinc out of reach. Calprotectin, a neutrophil protein abundant at infection sites, is ...
