WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Bacterial pathogens can live on surfaces for days. What if frequently touched surfaces such as doorknobs could instantly kill them off? Purdue University engineers have created ...

Engineers have created a laser treatment method that could potentially turn any metal surface into a rapid bacteria killer -- just by giving the metal's surface a different texture. Bacterial ...

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 ...

Purdue University researchers have discovered a laser treatment to texture metals that can potentially transform almost any metal surface into one that quickly eliminates any bacteria that come into ...

Researchers from Purdue University have created a new laser treatment method that has the potential to turn any metal surfaces into a rapid bacteria killer by giving the surface a different texture.

Researchers from Seoul National University of Science and Technology utilized laser surface texturing techniques to improve the bond between galvannealed advanced high-strength steel and polyamide 6.

Researchers at the US company Ion Optics have developed surface texturing processes that alter the emissivity of infrared sources, allowing them to be tuned for spectroscopic applications. This will ...
