Otu UCF alum na ọtụtụ ndị nchọpụta jiri nanotechnology mepụta ụlọ ọrụ nhicha a, nke nwere ike iguzogide nje virus asaa ruo ụbọchị 7.
Ndị na-eme nchọpụta UCF ewepụtala ọgwụ nje nanoparticle nke nwere ike na-egbu nje n'elu elu ruo ụbọchị asaa - nchọpụta a nwere ike bụrụ ngwa ọgụ siri ike megide COVID-19 na nje nje ndị ọzọ na-apụta.
E bipụtara nyocha a n'izu a na akwụkwọ akụkọ ACS Nano nke American Chemical Society site na otu ìgwè nke nje virus na ndị ọkachamara injinịa sitere na mahadum na onye isi ụlọ ọrụ nkà na ụzụ na Orlando.
Christina Drake '07PhD, onye nchoputa Kismet Teknụzụ, kpaliri njem gaa n'ụlọ ahịa nri na mbido ọrịa a wee mepụta ọgwụ na-efe efe. N'ebe ahụ, ọ hụrụ otu onye ọrụ ka ọ na-efesa ọgwụ na-edozi ahụ n'aka friji ma hichapụ ya ozugbo.
Ọ sịrị, "Na mbụ echiche m bụ ịmepụta ọgwụ na-eme ngwa ngwa," ka o kwuru, "ma anyị gwara ndị na-azụ ahịa dị ka ndị dọkịta na ndị dọkịta ezé ka ha ghọta ihe ọgwụ nje ha chọrọ n'ezie.

"Ọ na-arụ ọrụ na kemistri na igwe," Seal kwuru, bụ onye na-amụ nanotechnology ihe karịrị afọ 20. “Nanoparticles na-ebunye eletrọn iji mee ka nje ahụ oxidize ma mee ka ọ ghara ịrụ ọrụ. N'iji arụ ọrụ, ha na-etinyekwa onwe ha na nje a wee gbawaa elu, dị ka ịgbawa balloon. "
Ọtụtụ ihe na-ehichapụ ma ọ bụ sprays ga-ehichapụ elu ahụ n'ime nkeji atọ ruo isii ka ejiri ya, mana enweghị mmetụta ọ bụla.
