Design of multidimensional microplasma array for biofilm removal and dynamic photonic crystals
… arrays and understanding their interactions with biofilms and electromagnetic waves. Biofilms are ubiquitous in municipal drinking water distribution systems, and they present significant human health concerns because they often harbor pathogens. Biofilms serve as pathogen reservoirs by supplying …
