Nature has endowed many of its living systems with functional structures with highly tuned
wettability. Inspired by nature, scientists began to mimic these natural templates and as a …

The scientific and industrial interest in antimicrobial surfaces has significantly increased in
recent times. This interest is largely in response to the persistent microbial contamination of …

In this review, we report on superhydrophobic and superoleophobic properties found in
nature, which are strongly expected to benefit various potential applications. Mimicry of …

Titanium and its alloys remain the most popular choice as a medical implant material
because of its desirable properties. The successful osseointegration of titanium implants is …

The mechano-bactericidal activity of nanostructured surfaces has become the focus of
intensive research toward the development of a new generation of antibacterial surfaces …

The attachment of single-celled organisms, namely bacteria and fungi, to abiotic surfaces is
of great interest to both the scientific and medical communities. This is because the …

Bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation are ubiquitous undesirable phenomena in the
marine industry and the medical industry, usually causing economic losses and serious …

The effectiveness of an antibacterial agent is strongly influenced by its antibacterial
mechanism, which, in turn, depends on the agent's topological structure. In the natural world …

In this study, vanadium powder (V) was employed as a cocatalyst to enhance the Fenton-like
system. The V-Fe (III)/H 2 O 2 system can rapidly produce hydroxyl radicals and completely …

We present a nanostructured “super surface” fabricated using a simple recipe based on
deep reactive ion etching of a silicon wafer. The topography of the surface is inspired by the …
