As COVID-19 pandemic continues to pose treat and raising fears of new pathogens such as new viruses or drug-resistant bacteria. Based on this, a Korean research team has recently got a breakthrough in developing a nanocrystals that eradicate bacteria biofilm. A technology for removing antibiotic-resistant bacteria by controlling the surface texture of nanomaterials.

A joint research team from POSTECH and UNIST has introduced mixed-FeCo-oxide-based surface-textured nanostructures (MTex) as highly efficient magneto-catalytic platform in the international journal Nano Letters. The team consisted of professors In Su Lee and Amit Kumar with Dr. Nitee Kumari of POSTECH's Department of Chemistry and Professor Yoon-Kyung Cho and Dr. Sumit Kumar of UNIST's Department of Biomedical Engineering.
