Antibiotic resistance is a global human health threat, causing routine treatments of bacterial
infections to become increasingly difficult. The problem is exacerbated by biofilm formation …

The spread of bacteria through contaminated surfaces is a major issue in healthcare, food
industry, and other economic sectors. The widespread use of antibiotics is not a sustainable …

Nearly a century has passed since the discovery of the first antibiotics. With each passing
decade, more bacterial strains developed resistance towards existing antibiotics. Alternative …

For generating a texture or pattern on a work surface, one of the emerging processes is laser
surface texturing (LST). It is an effective method for producing texture on a work surface …

The development of microorganisms' colonies creates a three-dimensional structure named
biofilm, which helps microorganisms attach to the substratum to survive. The …

Bacterial biofilms pose serious problems in medical and industrial settings. One of the major
societal challenges lies in the increasing resistance of bacteria against biocides used in …

We present a novel approach for tailoring the laser induced surface topography upon
femtosecond (fs) pulsed laser irradiation. The method employs spatially controlled double fs …

The development of antimicrobial surfaces has become a high priority in recent times. There
are two ongoing worldwide health crises: the COVID-19 pandemic provoked by the SARS …

The development of zirconia dental implants has become increasingly popular over the last
years due to the outstanding mechanical properties, superior aesthetic appearance and …

Objective This study examines the differences in osteogenic activity and antibacterial
