Those who don’t like to wear masks—and I’m guessing that is all of us—should take note of new research from the University of Kentucky. Researchers there have developed a new type of material for face masks that can better capture, then attack and deactivate the Covid-19 virus on contact The new material offers another layer of protection that can help prevent the virus from spreading—and better than the current federal standard of filtering out at least niney-five percent of airborne particles. The study in the peer-reviewed journal Communications Materials suggests future use may go beyond better face masks, but also use in air filters for enclosed spaces to significantly reduce aerosol transmission of the disease.
