Graphene filter grabs bacteria to kill them with a zap

An article features Rice research that developed a technique to turn laser-induced graphene into self-sterilizing filters that grab pathogens out of the air and kill them with small pulses of electricity. Co-authors James Tour, the T.T. and W.F. Chao Chair in Chemistry and a professor of computer science and of materials science and nanoengineering, Lovett College senior John Li and postdoctoral researcher Michael Stanford are quoted.
