Graphene Face Masks Could Deactivate Coronavirus

When it comes to face masks, there’s certainly no shortage of interesting styles these days. A recent Medgadget article discussed the latest material to make its way to the mask market, and it’s graphene. A team of scientists at the City University of Hong Kong developed the mask, which contains laser-induced graphene that can kill bacteria. The graphene layer showed potential in deactivating coronaviruses as it can generate heat when exposed to sunlight.
