Active Microrobots for Dual Removal of Biofilms via Chemical and Physical Mechanisms.

Bacterial biofilms are complex multicellular communities that adhere firmly to solid surfaces. They are widely recognized as major threats to human health, contributing to issues such as persistent infections on medical implants and severe contamination in drinking water systems. As a potential treatment for biofilms, this work proposes two strategies: (i) light-driven ZnFeO (ZFO)/Pt microrobots f...

Machine Learning-Enhanced Bacteria Detection Using a Fluorescent Sensor Array with Functionalized Graphene Quantum Dots.

Pathogenic bacteria are the source of many serious health problems, such as foodborne diseases and hospital infections.
