Scientists have created a face mask that can detect common respiratory viruses, including influenza and coronavirus, in the air in droplets or aerosols. The highly sensitive mask can send an alert to the wearer’s mobile phone within 10 minutes if targeted pathogens are present in the surrounding air (Matter 2022 Sep 19. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.matt.2022.08.020). #Masks #FaceCoverings #WifiMask #ElectronicMask

Wearable bioelectronic masks for wireless detection of respiratory infectious diseases by gaseous media
We demonstrate a wearable bioelectronic mask for detecting airborne respiratory infectious
disease viruses. The device is developed based on multi-channel ion-gated transistors
and integrated internet of things technology. It exhibits fast response, excellent…
