.@NSF is enhancing the circular economy through an $11.5M investment. Sixteen teams have been selected for NSF's Convergence Accelerator program. Australia’s @CSIRO is also contributing by funding Australian researchers on two U.S. projects. Details: bit.ly/3WsV9IV
Our peer-reviewed work on N95 face masks with on-contact virucidal activity (up to 99.99% for enveloped viruses, 99.9% for gram-/+ bacteria) is now available as an open access publication. Thanks to all our collaborators for helping make this happen. doi.org/10.1021/acsami.2c041…
shout out to @edpalermoRPI @carynheldt who contributed so much effort and expertise. also to @AFFOA_RFT and Hills, Inc for providing resources/supplies, and to @NSF for supporting this project with a RAPID grant
