IMO Game changing new tech/ acquisitions/licensing incoming/being evaluated.

What "hunch" am I basing this off of.. Obviously I can be completely wrong but what I know for a fact is it is on VXIT's radar.... How can I phrase this...

I was "discussing" with "someone" research about these smart mask technologies. I think all are in prototypes/testing phases. ALL have had great testing outcomes.

All serve a purpose so I dug deeper to find anything on the webosphere about the legitimacy of new tech or is it a gimmick.

Rest assure it is very real...

One wants to enter the market by July 2022.. Others too but dont know time frame.

Below are references that correlated with my "general" conversation.. after MY independent research.

What do you guys think?

TOKYO, Dec 10 (Reuters) - Japanese researchers have developed masks that use ostrich antibodies to detect COVID-19 by glowing under ultraviolet light.

The discovery by Yasuhiro Tsukamoto and his team at Kyoto Prefectural University in western Japan could provide for low-cost testing of the virus at home, they said in a press release.

The scientists started by creating a mask filter coated with ostrich antibodies targeting the novel coronavirus, based on previous research showing the birds have strong resistance to disease.

In a small study, test subjects wore the masks, and after eight hours, the filters were removed and sprayed with a chemical that glows under ultraviolet light if the virus is present. The filters worn by people infected with COVID-19 glowed around the nose and mouth areas.

The team hopes to further develop the masks so that they will glow automatically, without special lighting, if the virus is detected.

Tsukamoto, a veterinary professor and the president of the university, has studied ostriches for years, looking for ways to adapt their immunity power to fight bird flu, allergies, and other diseases.

Tsukamoto told the Kyodo news agency he discovered his own positivity for COVID-19 after he wore one of the special masks and found that it glowed when checked. The diagnosis was confirmed after a standard test.

Masks are a tool in the fight against the pandemic and now scientists are exploring ways to make them more effective.
Ostrich antibodies applied to material can be used to detect COVID-19.
Silver nanoparticles are being used to turn masks into more active barriers.
Sensors in some masks can diagnose the wearer with COVID-19 within 90 minutes.
The humble face mask has come to symbolize the struggles of recent years and the complexities of battling the pandemic.

Disposable 3-ply, cloth, surgical or respirator – no matter what type of face mask you choose, scientific evidence suggests that face coverings reduce the transmission of COVID-19.

"Game-changing" Technology to Improve Covid-19 Face Mask Protect

https://statnano.com/news/69021

Scientists at the University of Aberdeen are using a "game-changing" technology as they aim to produce a new type of face mask that is more effective in stopping the spread of Covid-19.

Microfluidics - also known as ‘lab-on-a-chip’ - is a technology that can be applied to prepare nanomaterials that can be used to manufacture medical textiles such as face masks.

The technology can also be used to study microscopic transport – such as the aerosol particles through which Covid-19 can be transmitted via breathing.

Now, a multidisciplinary team of researchers from the University’s School of Engineering and Institute of Medical Sciences are aiming to use microfluidics to develop a new nanomaterial they hope will provide a more effective barrier to impede transmission.

Funded by a £11,602 NHS Grampian Endowment Research Grant, the project will test the effectiveness of microfibres containing silver nanoparticles – which are known to have antimicrobial and antiviral properties – in trapping and neutralising the virus.

To do so, scientists will develop a new experimental microfluidic device with micrometre-sized chambers and channels that offer the ability to test and prepare new nanomaterials.

The research is being led by Dr Alf Martinez-Felipe and Dr Wenbo Zhan from the School of Engineering, and Dr Claudiu Giuraniuc from the Institute of Medical Sciences. The project includes an industrial partnership with Specac Ltd, which will provide support by developing accessories that will allow researchers to better understand the effectiveness of new nanomaterials.

Dr Martinez-Felipe said: “There are several challenges regarding the development of efficient masks, such as the ability to reuse them safely, or the deactivation of the virus in the masks to avoid further propagation by misuse.

“The aim of this project is to prepare new materials to increase the efficiency of face masks turning them into active barriers for Covid-19.

“To do that we will prepare new silver nanoparticles embedded in microfibres, which will retain the aerosols containing Covid-19, and we will also measure the therapeutic potential of the materials by using the antiviral potential of silver nanoparticles.

“The key to doing this is our development of a new, versatile microfluidic device to test the effectiveness of these materials, which we will optimise using experimental and computational models. Microfluidics is regarded as a game-changing technology in terms of research into new nanomaterials, and we are very excited about the potential of this project.”

Dr Giuraniuc added: “This is innovative cross-disciplinary research that combine the research strengths of the Institute of Medical Sciences and School of Engineering, that will explore the potential of microfluidics in achieving progress in a critical area of healthcare.

“We expect that our findings will open new avenues for research, and ultimately lead to the introduction of new and more effective materials for use in the mass production of commercial face masks.”
