Now one can stop panicking about virus and bacteria. .
North Carolina State University along with Laam Science, Inc. and Emory University scientists has invented a coated fabric that kills the flu virus, along with other viruses and bacteria known as a nano coating.
This anti-germ chemical can be applied to any kind of fabric. A fabric can be soaked in the chemical, squeezed out, and dried and the chemical become a part of the fabric. The cloth can be used for apparel and garment to bed sheets and for upholstery as well.
This chemical is photo reactive so when exposed to light, there is a chemical reaction and the cloth becomes fatal for the viruses and bacteria.
Scientists are testing the effectiveness of the photo reactive coating in different environments.
