Interactions of Bacteria With Monolithic Lateral Silicon Nanospikes Inside a Microfluidic Channel

This paper presents a new strategy of integrating lateral silicon nanospikes using metal-assisted chemical etching (MacEtch) on the sidewall of micropillars for on-chip bacterial study. Silicon nanospikes have been reported to be able to kill bacteria without using chemicals and offer a new route to...
