In 1832, 1849, and 1852, 200 employees from a copper smelter in Paris were unaffected by the cholera outbreaks, and this caught the attention of physician Victor Burq. 500 employees, who worked in the same area, were also spared from the cholera outbreak. This made Burq conclude that copper had given these people some kind…

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…

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…

When looking at walls in a home or office space the first thing that comes to mind is how these bricks provide us with a sense of security and protection against the elements, right? But very rarely do we look at a wall and think, can they protect us against the intrusion of harmful substances,…
