Nanostructured surface inactivates SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus within six hours

Nanowerk   -   Nanotechnology Websites

Researchers have successfully produced durable antiviral surfaces that inactivate SARS-CoV-2 within 6 hours. In contrast, on various non-nanostructured surfaces or smooth surfaces, the SARS-COV-2 virus remained viable for up to 48 hours. These res...
