(Beijing Bloomberg) Chinese researchers have developed a new type of mask that allows users to detect whether it is exposed to coronary virus or influenza virus.

The virus is detected in 10 minutes

On Monday (September 19), a scientific magazine published by Matter published a research results led by six scientists in Tongji University in Shanghai., The mask is equipped with a charging lithium battery.

Related testing simulates the scene of someone talking or coughing, spraying the pathogen in the indoor environment, and the results show that the sensor installed on the mask can detect the crown disease in the air within 10 minutes, H5N1 (type C type (type A type A.Bird flu) and H1N1 (pig influenza) virus, sensors can respond to liquids about 70 to 560 times lower when sneezing, and send an alert to wireless devices such as mobile phones.

Researchers say that this device is best used in a closed space with a high risk of infection. They are trying to shorten the detection time and sensitivity of the equipment. If necessaryThe estimated cost of one mask.
