OAK RIDGE, Tennessee, July 15 (TNSjou) -- The U.S. Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory issued the following news release:
Over the past decade, teams of engineers, chemists and biologists have analyzed the physical and chemical properties of cicada wings, hoping to unlock the secret of their ability to kill microbes on contact. If this function of nature can be replicated by science, it may lead to products with inherently antibacterial surfaces that are more effect . . .
