Professor Elena Ivanova: 'Our surfaces may be effective at combatting bacteria and drug-resistant superbugs'

A new study suggests rough surfaces inspired by the bacteria-killing spikes on insect wings may be more effective at combatting drug-resistant superbugs, including fungus, than previously understood. We talked about this research with Distinguished Professor Elena Ivanova from RMIT University in Melbourne.
