Bacteria have a sneaky way of sticking together and forming tough-to-kill communities called biofilms. These biofilms are a big problem in hospitals, as they can resist standard treatments and cause serious infections. To tackle this issue, scientists have been exploring the use of tiny particles called nanomaterials. One such innovation is a combination of zinc oxi...

The fight against water pollution just got a new ally: jackfruit leaves. Scientists have found a way to use these leaves to create a powerful tool for cleaning up water. This tool is a special kind of tiny particle called a nanocomposite. It's made from iron oxide, tin oxide, and a rare earth metal called praseodymium. The process of making it is eco-f...
