The usage of single-use face masks (SFMs) has increased since the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic. However, non-degradability and mismanagement of SFMs have raised serious environmental concerns. Moreover, both melt-blown and nanofiber-based mask filters inevitably suffer from poor filtration performance, like a continuous decrease in the remo...

Cholesterol has been shown to affect the extent of coronavirus binding and fusion to cellular membranes. The severity of Covid-19 infection is also known to be correlated with lipid disorders. Furthermore, the levels of both serum cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) decrease with Covid-19 severity, with normal levels resuming once the in...

A biomembrane sample system where millimolar changes of cations induce reversible large scale (≥ 200 Å) changes in the membrane-to-surface distance is described. The system composes of a free-floating bilayer, formed adjacent to a self-assembled monolayer (SAM). To examine the membrane movements, differently charged floating bilayers in the presenc...

The development of colorimetric assays for rapid and accurate diagnosis of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is of practical importance for point-of-care (POC) testing. Here we report the colorimetric detection of spike (S1) protein of SARS-CoV-2 based on excellent peroxidas...

Control of capillary flow through porous media has broad practical implications. However, achieving accurate and reliable control of such processes by tuning the pore size or by modification of interface wettability remains challenging. Here we propose that the liquid flow by capillary penetration can be accurately adjusted by tuning the geometry o...

Surface contact with virus is ubiquitous in the transmission pathways of respiratory diseases such as Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), by which contaminated surfaces are infectious fomites intensifying the transmission of the disease. To date, the influence of surface wettability on fomite formation remains elusive. Here, we report that superhy...

During the pandemic, different methods for SARS-CoV-2 detection and COVID-19 diagnostics were developed, including antibody and antigen tests. For a better understanding of the interaction mechanism between SARS-CoV-2 virus proteins and specific antibodies, total internal reflection ellipsometry based evaluation of the interaction between SARS-CoV-...

Facemasks are considered the most effective means for preventing infection and spread of viral particles. In particular, the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic underscores the urgent need for developing recyclable facemasks due to the considerable environmental damage and health risks imposed by disposable masks and respirators. We demonstrate synthes...

Nanoerythrosomes (NERs), vesicle-like nanoparticles derived from red blood cells, represent a new and interesting vector for therapeutic molecules and imaging probes, mainly thanks to their high stability and excellent biocompatibility. Aiming to present a proof-of-concept of the use of NERs as diagnostic tools for in vitro/in vivo imaging purposes...
