Every day, people touch many surfaces, such as kitchen counters, phone screens, and bus handrails. These surfaces can carry harmful viruses and germs, spreading illness easily. Infections often happen when someone touches a surface and then touches their face, particularly their eyes, nose, or mouth.
While cleaning surfaces can help, many cleaning products can harm the environment and cause germs to become resistant to medicines. A new study published in Advanced Science introduces a thin plastic surface with tiny features that can break apart viruses, including human parainfluenza virus type 3 (hPIV-3). This material can make surfaces like mobile phones and hospital equipment much safer.
Current cleaning methods require disinfectants to stay wet for a while and can be challenging in busy places. Moreover, surfaces can quickly get contaminated again. The new material is affordable, flexible, and features thousands of tiny pillars that stretch and burst the virus’s outer shell.
Tests showed that up to 94% of virus particles could be destroyed in just one hour on this surface. This invention could change how we protect ourselves from viruses and reduce our reliance on chemical cleaning products.
What can help reduce the spread of illness from surfaces?
