Autonomous Microtrap for Pathogens

Self-propelled onion-like microvehicle can attract, trap, and destroy biological threats

03-Feb-2020 - Antibiotics are more efficient when they can act on their target directly at the site of infestation, without dilution. In the journal Angewandte Chemie, American scientists describe a synthetic chemical trap that propels itself to its place of action in the body fluid and then lures the bacteria ...
