| Nanofiber (5) |  |
Can nanofiber save your life? Researchers in professor Margaret Frey lab create fibers hundreds of times thinner than a human hair that can capture toxic chemicals and pathogens.
Frey and her colleagues are replacing that cost by making the devices with nanofibers from plastics,
Using nanofibers, processes done in a medical testing lab for example, purifying samples, mixing ingredients, capturing bacteria can be done with material about the size of a deck of cards.
Frey and her students have encapsulated pesticides into biodegradable nanofibers. This keeps them intact until needed
these nanofibers just might save a life, she said. Source: http://www. cornell. ed
