Indiana University discovery could lead to virus-killing masks
An Indiana University scientist has discovered that face masks made of a special fabric could do more than simply block the coronavirus from infecting the wearer. The masks could actually kill the germs.
Known as electroceutical fabric, the material employs microcell batteries to create an electrical field that essentially disarms the virus and prevents it from infecting a person. Without a host, the virus will die.
The fabric is already FDA-approved for use as a wound dressing, where it can prevent bacterial infections.
After studies have shown the fabric also can block the coronavirus from infecting a person, the company that makes the V.Dox Technology has applied for emergency authorization to craft face masks out of the fabric.
