Graphene spike mat uses ordinary fridge magnet tech to fight antibiotic resistance  

With strong bactericidal properties, graphene has the potential to become a game changer in the fight against antibiotic-resistant bacteria. So far there have been no efficient ways to control these properties—and thus no way to make use of graphene’s potential in health care.
