Aluminum plasmonic nanoshielding in ultraviolet inactivation of bacteria
Abstract Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation is an effective bacterial inactivation technique with broad applications in environmental disinfection. However, biomedical applications are limited due to the low selectivity, undesired inactivation of beneficial bacteria and damage of healthy tissue. New appro...
