Scientists at Purdue University announced on Thursday that they had developed a method to create tiny textures onto the surface of copper, giving the metal the ability to immediately kill dangerous bacteria including the antibiotic-resistant MRSA. The research was performed at Purdue’s Birck Nanotechnology Center and was originally published in the journal Advanced Materials Interfaces in February. “Copper has been used as an antimicrobial material for centuries.

That Utes victory in 2003 in Salt Lake City wasn’t a beatdown like Saturday’s 62-20 blowout at Autzen, but when then-coach Urban Meyer’s Utah offense, led by Alex Smith, defeated Oregon, 17-13, it helped usher in a 10-year run of unparalleled offensive output — and a 106-26 record.

The debate over the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program opened their eyes to the real Trump. DACA is the program created by President Obama through executive action which allowed the so-called “DREAM-ers,” migrants who entered the country illegally as children through no fault of their own, to remain in the United States without the fear of deportation....

However, the Italian’s second season was a struggle, as the team suffered through a dip in form that saw them crash out of the Champions League and fall in the table.

The non-dominant hemisphere is also responsible for integrating spatial information and for controlling a sense of awareness of three-dimensional space....
Tony was diagnosed with asthma when he was 18 months old. I knew he had it way before that. I have it, too. A lot of our family members do, but his was always much more severe. He was sick all of the time. His medications would change often.

If Tottenham had expected an easy game in Austria, they were clearly mistaken. LASK knew that only a victory would give them hopes of making the knockouts and came out to take the game to Jose Mourinho’s side, who looked strangely disjointed. The home team took the lead through Peter Michorl’s curving shot, only for Tottenham to equalize from the penalty spot on the cusp of half-time, with Gareth Bale slotting home....
Needing a win to have any chance of keeping their qualification hopes alive, Ireland took the lead when James McClean drilled a fine strike past Wayne Hennessey in the 57th minute. Chris Coleman sent on an additional striker in Sam Vokes as Wales pushed for an equaliser, though results elsewhere meant they would have needed a win to advance as one of the best second-placed teams. The hosts continued to dominate possession but Ireland held firm to ensure it was they who finished as runners-up to automatic qualifiers Serbia in Group D....

Over the last few weeks, players have been quick to report numerous issues with the Gulag. Gamers have been sent to the 1v1 arena without dying and been killed after finding themselves victorious, two frustrating issues that fans have no logical explanation for. Even more frustrating is a bug where Gulag guns go invisible, essentially giving players no chance to win their second chance fight. However, it seems like invisible guns were just a teaser for the latest Gulag-related issue, as the entire arena has undergone a transformation in one unlucky player’s game....
