Professor Yan Yu and her graduate students, Jared Wiemann (PhD 2022) and Swagata Bhattacharyya, have developed antibacterial Janus nanoparticles that are 10 to 30 times more effective at killing bacteria than other nanoparticles. These nanoparticles are an alternative antibacterial material that exhibit high potency with little dosage.
