New Self-Sterilizing Air Filtration Technologies Could Include Face Masks and Ventilation

The material can be completely sterilized by electrical current, thus an LIG air filter has the potential to be combined with state-of-the-art air filtration such as HEPA filters. As a result, hospitals, cars, buildings and public transport could all become safer spaces. If such a material is incorporated into a mask a higher level of protection for medical providers, as well as the general population could be possible.

Berkeley Lab: 3D Images of Nanoparticles and Fine-Tuning Magnetic Spin

Since their invention in the 1930s, electron microscopes have helped scientists peer into the atomic structure of ordinary materials like steel, and even exotic graphene. But despite these advances, such imaging techniques cannot precisely map out the 3D atomic structure of materials in a liquid solution, such as a catalyst in a hydrogen fuel cell, or the electrolytes in your car's battery.
