The nanoparticles “rip holes in the membrane walls and the contents basically spill out,” said Hedrick, a researcher at IBM’s Almaden Research Center. “They’re very selective and once they do their job, they go away. They degrade into an innocuous by-product.”
MRSA — basically an antibiotic-resistant staph infection — is a horrible lot to draw. Seems like a fantastic use of nanotechnology.
