TLDR
The ability of CuO nanoparticles to reduce bacterial populations to zero was enhanced in the presence of sub-MBC concentrations of silver nanoparticles, suggesting release of ions may be required for optimum killing.

Copper oxide nanosheets prepared by facile microplasma electrochemical technique with photocatalytic and bactericidal activities

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of electrolyte concentration on structure, size, and morphology of copper oxide (CuO) nanostructures has been investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic (FTIR), revealing the formation of highly crystalline single phase CuO, exhibiting a monoclinic structure.

The bactericidal effect of silver nanoparticles

TL;DR: The results indicate that the bactericidal properties of the nanoparticles are size dependent, since the only nanoparticles that present a direct interaction with the bacteria preferentially have a diameter of approximately 1-10 nm.

Silver nanoparticles as antimicrobial agent: a case study on E. coli as a model for Gram-negative bacteria

TL;DR: These nontoxic nanomaterials, which can be prepared in a simple and cost-effective manner, may be suitable for the formulation of new types of bactericidal materials.

Evidence for stripe correlations of spins and holes in copper oxide superconductors

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the possibility that this effect is related to dynamical two-dimensional spin correlations, incommensurate with the crystal lattice, that have been observed in La2-SrxCuO4 by neutron scattering.

Metal Oxide Nanoparticles as Bactericidal Agents

TL;DR: In this paper, reactive magnesium oxide nanoparticles and halogen (Cl2, Br2) adducts of these MgO particles were allowed to contact certain bacteria and spore cells, which yield insight into the biocidal action of these nanoscale materials.
