Using a range of advanced imaging tools, functional assays, and proteomic analyses, a study has identified new ways in which nano-pillars can damage bacteria. These findings will aid the design of better antimicrobial surfaces for potential biomedical applications such as medical implants and devices that are not reliant on antibiotics.
