Bacteria trapped — and terminated — by graphene filter
An article features Rice research that developed a technique to turn laser-induced graphene into self-sterilizing filters that grab pathogens out of the air and kill them with small pulses of electricity. Co-authors James Tour, the T.T. and W.F. Chao Chair in Chemistry and a professor of computer science and of materials science and nanoengineering, Lovett College senior John Li and postdoctoral researcher Michael Stanford are quoted.

Bacteria trapped — and terminated — by graphene filter
Rice scientists have transformed their laser-induced graphene into self-sterilizing filters that grab pathogens out of the air and kill them with small pulses of electricity. The flexible filter developed by the Rice lab of chemist James Tour may be of special interest to hospitals, where patients have a 1-in-31 chance of acquiring a potentially antibiotic-resistant infection during hospitalization.
