Revolutionary Material Boosts Face Mask Efficiency by Capturing Coronavirus Particles

Researchers at the University of Liverpool have developed a new material that captures coronavirus particles, potentially revolutionizing the efficiency of face masks and other filter equipment. The material, which has been shown to be approximately 93% more efficient at capturing proteins, including coronavirus proteins, while maintaining breathability, could be used in a wide range of applications beyond the pandemic. The team has also developed a method to attach the material to conventional face masks and is exploring its potential for capturing other bioaerosols and deadly viruses.
