A simple technique to make a common killing virus material significantly more effective is a breakthrough from the Rice University labs of Andrew Barron and Qilin Li who have taken nano particles that everyone’s been using for years and improved its performance without any real cost, said Barron, Rice’s Charles W. Duncan Jr.-Welch Professor of…

In the video below, Professor Bill Keevel, director of environmental health care and microbiologist at the University of South Hampton demonstrates how the MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus) virus which is most resistant to antibiotics, dies within minutes of coming into contact with copper. In this lab test we can clearly see how viruses and bacteria…

So long as there’s no vacuum (such as conditions in space with zero gravity), air is constantly in circulation, either in a controlled form when turning on a fan or heater or even when using a cooker or washer dryer, or uncontrolled, by way of natural air flow such as opening a window or movement…

Copper-iodide nano-particles have long-lasting antiviral activity against the H1N1 influenza virus, according to a paper in the February issue of the journal Applied and Environmental Microbiology in 2009 The copper iodide generates reactive oxygen species which kill viruses by degrading viral proteins. The particles can be applied to products such as filters, face masks, kitchen…

CORONA VIRUS researchers have proposed attacking the virus responsible for COVID-19 with ultra-small nano particles Chemical engineer Thomas Webster from Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts, has proposed eradicating the corona virus with nano particles. These microscopic particles would match the structure of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and would be ten thousand times smaller than the width…
