Spinning nanofibers to improve N-95 masks

BYU engineering students, in collaboration with the Nanos Foundation, are using nanotechnology to spin web-like nanofiber membranes that can make fabric masks more protective, comparable to the N95 medical grade masks used by healthcare workers. The development could help address worldwide shortages of N95 masks and provide mask options that are more comfortable and breathable.
