In a major breakthrough, researchers have created a new type of titanium micro-spikes that can skewer antibiotic-resistant superbugs. The spikes have been proven to be an effective method of killing the bugs, which have been a growing medical threat due to their resistance to traditional antibiotics. The micro-spikes are made from titanium and coated with a material that kills the superbugs. They are injected into the bug, and they work by piercing the bacteria’s cell walls, allowing the killing agent to reach the bacteria and destroy them. The results of the study were published in the journal Science.
