Researchers at the University of Chicago and the University of California San Diego have developed a new device that uses low-voltage electric currents to prevent bacterial infections. The skin patch device is Bioelectronic Localized Antimicrobial Stimulation Therapy (BLAST). As a few bacteria could play a vital role on our skin, BLAST does not aim to completely eradicate the bacteria, but to induce reversible changes in membrane potential.
