29 Mar 2022 --- Researchers at RMIT University in Australia have created antibacterial material for plastic packaging by mimicking the structure of insect wings. The team says their findings could lead to important strategies for fighting bacterial infections transferred through pharmaceutical and F&B products. The study, published in Applied Nanomaterials, details how the researchers replicated the nanostructure of moth and dragonfly wings to create material that can destroy bacteria on the surface of common forms of plastic.
