RealFeedApp Compound breaks down nerve agents on contact
Researchers at Northwestern University are developing a compound that chemically neutralizes nerve agents, offering protection beyond simple physical barriers against deadly chemicals.
- Field
- new materials
- What they did
- Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a coating for hazmat suits that not only blocks the entry of toxic substances but also breaks them down at the molecular level.
- Why it matters
- This will protect military personnel and civilians (such as farmers and chemical workers) from deadly nerve agents that act very quickly.
