The COVID-19 pandemic has shown that clean and sterile surfaces play a vital role in many areas, from medicine to mobility. Whether it is the sterilization of clothing and medical devices or the development of diagnostic and biosensor systems \u2013 surfaces are central to containing pathogens. <\/p>

At Fraunhofer IST, researchers focus on preventive measures designed to act before infections can even occur.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
