Keeping work surfaces clean during meat processing is a challenge. Bacteria from meat can attach, grow, and build up to create a biofilm that is difficult to remove, even on stainless steel surfaces ...

Researchers have found a new method for making ultrathin metal-oxide sheets containing intricate wrinkle and crumple patterns. In a new study, the researchers show that the textured metal-oxide films ...

A recent study by industry partner Thermo Fisher Scientific and Professor Shirley Meng’s Laboratory for Energy Storage and Conversion, published in Joule, found that modifying the texture of metal can ...

Copper surfaces kill microbes that come into contact with them in a matter of hours. A new technique makes the familiar metal even deadlier—by zapping it with lasers. Bacteria “are becoming more ...

The preferred orientation of crystallites constituting polycrystalline solid materials such as metals, ceramics or composites significantly influences the intrinsic properties of the respective solid.
