A team of researchers at Galveston National Laboratory published a study in Materials Today Physics, claiming that just one pass through a filter made from commercially available nickel foam heated to 200 degrees Celcius killed the COVID-19 virus. On top of that, it also killed 99.9% of anthrax spores.
