As high-performing materials, bulk metallic glasses have attracted widespread attention for biomedical applications. Herein, the bacterial adhesion properties of femtosecond laser-nanostructured surfaces of four types of zirconium-based bulk metallic glasses are assessed. Laser-induced periodical su...
