Cold plasma can kill 99.9 per cent of airborne viruses: Study

<div>Scientists have found that dangerous airborne viruses can be rendered harmless on-the-fly when exposed to 'cold plasma' - a stream of energetic, charged fragments of air molecules. The team from University of Michigan in the US hope to one day harness this capability to replace the surgical mask.&nbsp;</div>''<div><br />''</div>''<div>The researchers have measured the virus-killing speed and effectiveness of non thermal plasmas - the ionised...
