A team of researchers from several Australian universities have developed a first-of-its-kind spray that can prevent the spread of bacterial and viral infections—including COVID-19—on a multitude of surfaces for prolonged periods.
The spray coating, which uses a combination of plastics strong enough to compare with bullet-proof glass, can repel viruses and bacteria via an air-filled barrier but also kill them through microscopic materials if the coating layer becomes damaged or submerged for a long time.
