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.

Peroxydisulfate activation by CuO pellets in a fixed-bed column, operating mode and assessments for antibiotics degradation and urban wastewater disinfection

TL;DR: A fixed-bed column packed with copper oxide pellets (FBC-CuO) combined with peroxydisulfate (PDS) as a primary oxidant was assessed as an option for simultaneously wastewater decontamination (antibiotics) and disinfection (bacteria, viruses, and protozoa) as discussed by the authors .

Desenvolvimento de compósitos antimicrobianos a base de SEBS/PP aditivados com partículas de cobre

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of the addition of copper microparticles (CuMP) e nanoparticles (cuNP) as an antimicrobial agent in composites with polymeric matrix based on SEBS / PP were investigated.

Antibacterial effects of microbial synthesized silver-copper nanoalloys on Escherichia coli, Burkholderia cepacia, Listeria monocytogenes and Brucella abortus

TL;DR: The microbially synthesized Ag-Cu nanoalloys demonstrated antibacterial effects on the majority of the bacteria studied even at 0.01 μg/μL, and complementary investigations should be conducted into the safety of this nanoalloy for in vivo or systemic use.

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.
