I'm baffled by how this is both high-tech and totally bonkers, being able to produce a polymer specifically targeting specific harmful bacteria is quite an achievement by itself but it is dwarfed by the ability of IBM to do away with the laws of physics, making matter just disappear is an incredible feat.
I wonder if this polymer just turns invisble or if it cease to exist without leaving any other compounds, residues or energy.
