Scientists have devised a new way of removing such films, and it involves magnetically steering augmented tea… Continue reading Tea bud “robots” used to kill and clear bacteria
A Medieval Anglo-Saxon medical book in the British Library may hold the key to finding new ways to combat antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
