Another technology post.
The creativity and advancements just keep on coming.
As the wearing of face masks has become ubiquitous in public places, people end up reusing these devices as they go from place to place. Pathogens get deposited on the exterior of the masks and within the fabric. Considering that many pathogens, including that which causes COVID-19, can reside on surfaces for a long time, the masks themselves may be a way for diseases to spread.
Researchers at Indiana University believe that electricity can be used to deactivate pathogens on face masks and they recently showed that an “electroceutical” fabric kills coronavirus particles on contact and may be highly useful to help guarantee the safety of face masks and potentially make them properly reusable.

Will this idea flourish and go big-big-big time? Time will tell.
