Rice, Ben-Gurion universities show laser-induced graphene kills bacteria, resists biofouling HOUSTON – (May 22, 2017) – Scientists at Rice University and Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) have discovered that laser-induced graphene (LIG) is a highly effective anti-fouling material and, when electrified, bacteria zapper. LIG is a spongy version of graphene, the single-atom layer of carbon atoms. The Rice...
