A viscous disinfectant has been turned into a breathable mist for the first time, according to an article on the Digital Journal website.
Researchers from University of California San Diego have created a device that can diffuse potent disinfectants to enable airborne delivery.
The new device operates with a range of disinfectants that have not been able to be atomized.
The device uses smartphone components that trigger acoustic waves. These soundwaves served to produce fluid capillary waves, which emitted droplets and generated a mist.
