Breakthrough BLAST Patch Uses Gentle Electrical Pulses to Fight Skin Bacteria, Offering Hope for Infection Prevention

In a promising leap forward for infection control, scientists have developed a skin patch that could dramatically reduce bacterial infections through mild electric pulses. Dubbed the Bioelectronic Localized Antimicrobial Stimulation Therapy (BLAST) patch, this small device emits a gentle electrical current specifically targeting infection-prone bacteria on the skin. If these bacteria were to enter the … Read more

Light-engineered bacterial shapes could hold key to future labs-on-a-chip

Scientists have used light patterns to control the swimming speed of bacteria and direct them to form different shapes, according to a new study in the journal eLife. Controlling bacteria in this way means it could be possible to use them as microbricks for building the next generation of microscopic devices. For example, they could … Read more
