News from Spain informs us that a team of specialists has
recently succeeded in designing and manufacturing so-called
bacteria-killing textiles. Apparently, this new fabric brought
forth by researchers working with the Universitat Politècnica de
Catalunya BarcelonaTech has nanoparticles which help keep
bacteria at bay incorporated within its make-up. This means
that, regardless of where the person wearing an item of clothing
made from this material goes, bacteria are not given the
opportunity to come along for the ride. The Verge explains that,
in order to develop this new fabric, researchers had to use
adhesive enzymes which helped them embed said antimicrobial
nanoparticles in a given piece of cloth. In order to make sure
these nanoparticles stayed attached to the threads, the
specialists had to resort to ultrasonic radiation, which
supposedly helps up the efficiency of the adhesive enzymes.
Contrary to popular belief, public hospitals are not as clean as
patients would want them to be, meaning that, as a r
