Israel Tests New 3D-Printed Tech That Can Make Medical Masks Stronger Against COVID-19
(Worthy News) – As Israelis scramble for ways to protect themselves from the deadly coronavirus, some doctors will begin testing a new method of defense against COVID-19.
Israel’s Health Ministry has decided to adopt a unique sticker that can be attached to a standard medical mask to make it a stronger shield against the virus.
The “Maya” sticker was created by Prof. Eyal Zussman of the Technion’s Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in collaboration with the Galilee Medical Center in Nahariya (northern Israel) and scientists from Israel’s National Emergency Team in the Directorate of Defense Research and Development (DDR&D).
Researchers created the sticker using a 3D printer. It is composed of nanoscale fibers coated with disinfectants that can defend the wearer against viruses. [ Source: CBN News (Read More…) ]
